Tutorial: Child’s apron and elastic back chef’s hat

Veronica from SewVery shows how you can make a child’s apron and matching chef’s hat. She uses her free Sunny Dress pattern to make the apron.  She links to the pattern and then tells the modifications to make the apron.  And the chef’s hat. Oh, the chef’s hat!  The back half  of the bottom band is actually a piece of wide elastic so it slides easily on your child’s head while still having a snug fit to keep it in place.

  1. Thank you for the tut…especially the hat tutorial. I’ve been thinking about elastic, but this is perfect!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
