These handmade surface design patterns are very original, something you will never find in the local shops. I chose these tinted and light backgrounds to bring the pattern forward and in focus. Each of these patterns is in different positional styles namely rotational position, half drop position, full drop position and mirrored position.
In the lime green background oven glove flower pattern, I used the rotational style for the pocket and across the body of the glove I used the mirrored style.
The yellow background oven glove has a coffee pattern. I used the rotational style for the pocket of the oven glove. The body of the oven glove has the mirrored style that is centrally placed in red.
The turquoise long oven glove has also a coffee pattern. The coffee pattern is placed in a rotational style and the patterns are adjacent to each other. The body of the turquoise long oven glove is filled with groups of the pattern grouped in a square pattern.
Only the pink long oven glove has a half drop pineapple pattern that is placed adjacent to each other on the body of the glove and the style is place centrally on the pocket.
The binding colour was chosen on the basis of the colour of the pattern. This binding gives the products a neat and complete look.
The coasters are used for warm tea or coffee mugs so that your surface area can be protected. The materials consisted of calico material, different colour cottons, fabric paint, brush, sponge, transparent sheet, ante cutter, paper, marker, binding and, batting that is thin and thick. I used the best type of batting for the long oven glove that is the thick one. The thick batting last longer that the thin one that why my oven glove is best one to be purchase. When I finished the yellow oven glove I realised that it has a Chinese style to it. These oven gloves are aimed at to home makers and it would make a delightful gift to a friend that is fond of working in the kitchen.
