We love our play kitchen around here and spend lots of time “cooking” up ” ‘tend” meals, then serving them up to be “eaten.” Obviously, I couldn’t wait to test Patty’s upcoming Lil’ Chef pattern, with its play oven mitt, chef’s toque and cutesy little apron.
Patty told me to use just any ol’ fabric I had on hand, so I grabbed some of the sweet birdy fabric from Joann’s that I used for my niece’s birthday present and got cracking.
What a seriously fun little set to sew! And it’s been a hit with the Little Miss, although it took a couple of days for her to agree to model it for a photo.
The hat sews together super fast — and it’s only two pieces, to boot! I think the longest thing about making this was quilting the fabric for the oven mitt (it may be optional but it looks so cute that I had to do it LOL!). By the way, the hat really does fit; Liesl just insisted on putting it on all by herself and didn’t make the band snug enough to stay put.
I can’t wait to make more and think it would be great to embroider the owner’s name on the hat band to really personalize it.
The patterns aren’t available yet but add Patty’s blog to your feed reader to find out when they’re released.

Awwww! Look at sweet Little Miss in her Lil’ Chef!
Thank you so much, Mary for all your help with the pattern testing! I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again… you’re a GEM! LOVE YA!
