It has been so hot the last few days that it's been the perfect time to relax in the garden 

with a pina colada. If you enjoy pina coladas then you will love these pineapple oven mitts by Rachel Denbow. These oven mitts will not look out of place in your kitchen during the heat wave we're experiencing at the moment - so why not visit www.abeautifulmess.com and make a pair for yourself.

One of the fabrics Rachel has used is the Bigfoot Navy fabric from the Lore collection but any one of our fabrics featuring leaves and flowers will do the trick - just make sure you pick a contrasting colour and print for the other side of your pineapple oven mitts.

You will need 1/2 metre of fabric for the front sides and another 1/2 metre of a different fabric for the shorter sides. You will find the full list of supplies, templates and sewing instructions at Rachel Denbow's free tutorial.
