Sewing Cold Weather Gear

[goldfinch]

Do you have any words of wisdom for making mittens? I want to make my own felted wool/fleece lined mittens because I'm tired of buying cycling specific store bought gloves that don't keep my fingers warm in this cold weather. I made a crudely constructed pair of felted mittens last week and wore a pair of glove liners underneath and they were MUCH warmer than my fancy schmancy cycling lobster gloves.

This is a great tutorial on how to make fleece and felted wool mittens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXN4sDGOfSo
