 So normally I would stress how important it is to wash and iron your fabric, but I'm working with fleece, and hope you are too, trust me, it's magic.

I've double layered my fleece, so that the cut of each mitten will be identical (cut it while it's doubled over, then separate to make 2-one layered mittens)

1. Fold the fleece over so that it is straight.

2. Pin the fabric together, so that it doesn't shift when you cut

3. Lay the pattern down, lining up the straight edges of the pattern with the straight edges of the fabric

4. Pin the pattern down to the fabric

5. Cut carefully along the patter, making sure you get through both layers of fabric

NOTE: Although my rotary cutter is the coolest thing ever (seriously, I love it so much, I might marry it)  it doesn't work so well in the small curves of the thumb, perhaps just use scissors, and don't tell your rotary cutter you're cheating on it.

6. Do steps 1-5 with both your pattern

7. Once you've cut both patterns, separate the layers

Oh my goodness, you've almost got glittens!
