Step 4: MITTENS & BOOTIES

NOTE: If you are using socks you can skip this step.

Take your mitten shapes and unfold them to layout flat. Cut a small piece of elastic that is about 1/2 the length of the unfolded mitten piece. Then working on the wrong side of the material tack the elastic to the straight edge of the mitten. Sew down the straight edge with a wide zigzag stitch working over the top of the elastic. STRETCH the elastic to be as long as the edge as you work. Doing this will gather the cuff of the mitten. Then turn right sides together and sew around the edges of the mitten leaving the cuff open. Then turn it right side out. Repeat this process with the second mitten 

Take your bootie rectangles and sew one long edge together. Lay the joined pieces out flat. Then attach the elastic and finish them the same as you did the mittens.
