Join Magpie Creative Reuse Collective, Rightfully Sewn, and upcycler Karen Sullivan, from Karen's Mitten Co., for this sew along workshop. Karen will walk you through the easy-to-follow instructions and you will leave with a pair of eco-friendly, fleece lined, wool mittens that you can give as a gift or keep for yourself.
And because we know you will become addicted, you will go home with a sewing pattern, so you can make mittens to your hearts content! Mittens make great gifts, for teachers, dog walkers, snow shovelers, sports spectators, and those with Raynauds and other circulatory issues.
