What you will need:

hand warmers Pattern

scisors

pins

thread

marking tool

sewing machine

hand warmer cut 1

Print out pattern piece and cut on the solid line. The dotted line represents the sewing you will be doing.

You are working with the cotton fabric that has been folded in half. It usually comes from the store folded. Line your pattern piece up with the factory edge but in about an inch. You don’t want to use that part. Many time there will be a color difference and writing on it. Then pin the pattern piece so that it is perpendicular with the edge (The pattern piece and the fabric are facing the same way).

Cut it out as straight as you can. the better you cut the line the easier it will be to sew.
