A #sewing question.

I want to make some oven gloves for Xmas presents. Do I have to use special thermo insulation or is it ok to use wadding and polar fleece. Obviously, I want the gloves to be usable 🙂

you should use the special thermo insulation, and two layers of that not one, to get the oven glove or potholder level of heat insulation:

I’d really recommended the thermo insulation and cotton or natural fiber fabrics. The thermo insulation will be safer but I suppose you could use 2-3 thicknesses of something like warm and natural in a pinch. But stick to natural fibers if possible. Polyester (which polar fleece is) and some other synthetic fibers can melt when they get too hot and the melty bits can stick to your skin.

@Taz Poltorak I'd be quite wary of polar fleece (and synthetic wadding) melting at oven temperatures

if you have some wool scraps they may work instead of the thermo insulation, but maybe you'd need a bigger thinkness, and with cotton you'd definitely need more than either.

The thermal style of batting is available at many sewing shops. Any batting would provide some protection from heat (I often bunch up a tea towel to grab something from the microwave). However, proper insulation would be preferable if that's the intended use.
I bought some with the intention of making insulated lunch bags. I'm currently stuck on how to add the zipper. I've done it before, just not recently.
