    Talking Here is what I am going to be doing today!

    Yes Mom FINALLY!!!

    Ok, forget the housework! lol I am still doing laundry but I promised my sis some hats for her bald head and today is the day!

    So I need to clean up my sewing room a bit and then get cracking! She likes beret's so here are 2 patterns I found on the net to make for her.

    Headband for under a scarf or ball cap: https://www.nancysnotions.com/NNVia/...ckheadband.htm

    Beret: https://www.nancysnotions.com/NNVia/...ilsckberet.htm

    Going to go change the wash now and get moving, I have LOTS of sewing to do!

    I'll post pics when I'm done!

    Well, I got side tracked. Been trying to get a hold of mom to find out Sandy's head measurment (she has it). Didn't want to call Sandy for it as this is supposed to be a surprise okay so maybe a shock!

    So I haven't made it upstairs yet, been doing laundry and cooking and made lots of extras so I won't have to stop and cook once I start sewing.

    Well, so far I have made 2 beret's and 1 headband. The first one took a while as I had to rip it out and make the band smaller, I hate ripping out, those little stitches are so hard for me to see. Glad I didn't use the serger 1st go round!

    After I got the 1st one where I wanted it, I took the time to make a pattern so I don't have to measure every one I make. I think I am going to make her 4 hats and 4 bands, send them out and see if she likes them before I make any more. Hey if she doesn't like them she can donate them to the chemo or radiation dept. in her hospital.

    I'm sure she'll love them! We definitely want to see pics!

    Great idea about donating them, too. A very good day's work for you.
