Add Cuffs to Mitten Ornaments: (insert add cuff picture)
- Line up the cuff so the top is just above the top edge of the mitten.
- Use two strands of floss to blanket stitch just the bottom of the cuff to the mitten on one side.
- Use the stitched side to help line up the cuff on the second side by placing the mitten pieces wrong sides together. Once the cuff piece is lined up, hold it in place and then blanket stitch it to the second mitten side as you did the first side.
- Add the embellishment to the mitten front using a single strand of coordinating embroidery floss.
Stitch ornament together:
- Place the two mitten pieces wrong sides together.
- Use two strands of floss and stitch around the mitten body using a blanket stitch.
- Stuff the ornament with some fiber fil.
Finish Mitten Ornament
- Cut a 10” section of yarn or twine and tie the two ends together to form a loop.
- Begin stitching the cuff together with two strands of floss.
- When you get to where you want the hanging loop, slide the knot end of your loop inside the ornament.
- Secure the loop with a couple of stitches before continuing around the cuff with your blanket stitch.

About the Designer
Hi! My name is Amy Chappell and I blog over at Ameroonie Designs. I currently live in Wyoming with my husband and 6 kids. I love being a mom but needed an outlet that would give me something to do that stayed done, enter sewing and creating. Love the satisfaction of taking fabric and ideas and making something new. I also love that blogging has given me a way to meet new people and find a community of amazing people who love fabric and sewing as much as I do.

If your tree’s not magazine worthy, then it’s the best sort. Magazine worthy trees are only fit for magazines or public places like shopping centres and restaurants.
Home trees should be family worthy, all colours, all themes and most important, all memories.
