We were unfortunately unable to access the chef’s hat instructions as the link seems to be corrupted.
Thank you so much for posting the link to this adorable pattern! I got to it just fine and plan on making both the hat and apron for my Lil’ Miss’ fifth birthday next month.
We have made the apron 4 times now and the hat twice for children ranging from 5yrs to 14yrs.. Have to say its an excellent pattern that I was able to use to teach my children how to sew, great photos to help them learn without mum standing over their shoulder.
The patterns are adorable and the step-by-step is awesome. I am such a visual learner it was great.
For those that think the hat link is corrupt. It is not. It just took forever to download. Probably because of the pics. Be patient, it is well worth it. (also, I was using the Firefox browser, that may make a difference.)
I love the chefs hat! I whipped one up in no time. I plan on making 15 of them for my preschool class for our “bakery” theme. Thank you so much for the fun idea.
The hat would not download 🙁
That’s too bad! I was able to load the hat tutorial without difficulty. It was a large file – perhaps your connection timed out while it was downloading? –Anne
