Nice projects! The fit of the mitts looks like it would be nice and snug.

The mitts *are* warm and snug. I'm still undecided on what to do about hooking the flaps back -- the choices are: velcro (which would attract too many rogue fibers, imo), a snap (which would put a lot of pressure on the fabric), a hook & eye, or a button. The flaps are the same length as the cuffs, so a button might not work.

I really enjoy wearing them, though, even without a way to secure the flap open.
