How to Make a Pair of 18th Century Mitts- Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of our 2 part Mitts Sew Along! (Catch up with part 1 here: https://youtu.be/BmzQd-zc3do ) Mitts were an accessory worn by everyone in the 18th century (and even into the 19th century!) They could be made from silk, wool, linen, fine cottons, and sometimes leather. For this sew along, we're using the official B&T mitts pattern available here (with full supplies list) https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/mitts-sew-along but you can use these same techniques on any embellished pair of silk mitts. In this series we'll give you lots of tips and tricks for a successful project as well as teach some simple embroidery to make your mitts extra special.
