The “Oh Sh!t Emergency Mitt”

I'm thinking i might prefer a Kapok stuffed mitt though.

Why did you make the thumb so small?

If you make the thumb larger, then you will have a better place to wipe your nose.

I like the idea of using a sewing machine for making holes.

It's all over sized Bob, so while it looks small in the pic, it's more than big enough. It's probably not the most efficient size for warmth, but i'm use to making more lofted mittens where the loft takes away from the width, length etc some.

In any case, it's a lightweight backup mitt or supplementary mitt than others can go under.

Daryl, i'm not sure i would use a fully working sewing machine this way normally. The sewing machine i used already has problems, so i wasn't worried about it too much. I got a little over zealous at one point, and didn't hold the foam down enough while it was going very fast, and the needle got bent just enough that it snapped at the tip when it came down. I still used it that way after though, and was a bit more careful with holding the foam down and not letting it go up and down with the needle.
