Haute Pockets Oven Mitt

With Haute Pockets, it is all about the pockets! We are making a double oven mitt but the pockets can be used on many projects. The pattern uses PlumEasy's Folded Star Stencil PEP205 to create 8-point star blocks, sewn into pockets, and then added to a long quilt body that is long enough to wrap around a casserole dish. Using the Stencil, we make an 8-point star without piecing, using prairie points around the circumference of a circle. Making the star into pockets is a great demo and is useful whether you make a pocket hot pad or Haute Pockets Double Oven Mitt. The star technique is simple and fun. Haute Pockets can be a mini-table runner, a baby shoulder burp pad, or hang in your sewing room to hold items.
