FINALLY some Christmas sewing...

So, Thanksgiving week was very busy with family and shopping and kids. I didn't get a chance to sew till Saturday, but I sewed 8 hours that day and made.... 7 chef hats. I used the You Can Make This FREE pattern. I used a 100% cotton sheet that I bought on clearance, but my husband disliked because it didn't feel as smooth as our sateen sheets. Oh well, said I and put that sheet set in my fabric stash to use for later. I'm glad I had all that fabric because I used the whole queen fitted sheet to make 3 adult hats and 4 youth hats (plus 1 youth hat I messed up on). I thought the pattern was pretty easy and they turned out really cute. Now I just have to make the aprons to go with them.

Rachel!!! Those are so awesome!! I love how each of their names on them, too. What a GREAT idea to use the bedsheet and be able to get so many out of that. What a great way to look at doing those for such a great price!

I love this!! I love that you took a bedsheet and made them. And I love that you embroidered the names, too. That is going to make those recipients feel so special! Awesome, awesome idea.
