I've had a few projects in the sewing room that I finally got to sew.
One was making chemo hats for my SIL. She started another treatment and this one caused her hair to start falling out. She asked me to make her a few hats to cover her head. She also gave me a hat that she liked but wanted a few modifications. With her blessing...I took the seam ripper to her hat (I was very nervous to do this as I am not very adept at garment construction!) Thank goodness my sewing buddy told me to make paper templates and go from there...
My SIL's trusted hat.
I made the first one exactly like this but forgot to grab a pic. :(
The ties were too long so my SIL cut them off the first one and I cut down the template. Here is my second attempt.
It's a little hard to see, so here I am, modeling it. She said she liked the looser fit to keep her head a little cooler.
With her okay, I finished off the other three.
Now to head over to her house and drop them off... They actually kinda remind me of the bonnets from Little House on the Prairie...

I was thinking you were making hats from Little House too. What a great SIL you are. I'm sure she will really appreciate them.
