They keep sending me videos and photos of her cooking, so I made my granddaughter this for Christmas.<\/p>\n

\"apron-and-chefs-hat-for-cadence\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t it adorable? \u00a0I think I want one in my size!<\/p>\n

It worked up very quickly, especially with my shortcuts, so there’s still time for you to make a couple before Christmas. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It’s McCalls 6049. \u00a0Have fun!\"M6049\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s my pattern review:<\/p>\n

Pattern Description:\u00a0<\/strong>Children’s Aprons, Chef’s Hat and Oven Mitts<\/p>\n

Pattern Sizing:<\/strong>3-4. 5-6, 7-8<\/p>\n

Did it look like the photo\/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, except for changes I made. I made the view C apron, skipping the lace trim and neckline ruffles.<\/p>\n

Were the instructions easy to follow?<\/strong>\u00a0I mostly did my own thing, but they were easy enough.<\/p>\n

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?<\/strong>\u00a0Too many narrow hems on a simple child’s accessory.<\/p>\n

Fabric Used:<\/strong>Cotton Twill<\/p>\n

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:<\/strong>\u00a0I had no desire to do all the narrow hemming along all those ruffles, so bought 1\/4 yard more of each fabric and cut each ruffle strip twice the pattern width. By doing this I was able to fold it, wrong sides together, and seam the short ends, then turn, press and gather the raw edges as one. This left a nice finished folded edge, rather than having to hem.<\/p>\n

After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to skip the ruffles along the neck line. I thought they looked like a bit much, and other reviewers said they made making the casing difficult.<\/p>\n

I sewed the ruffles to the marked lines with the seams\/marked lines meeting, and the finished edge of the ruffle pointing up, towards the neckline. I then pinked the raw edges, folded the ruffles down and top-stitched them in place.<\/p>\n

For the hat: I made it as directed, except machine top-stitched the hat brim in place, rather than hand sewing. (An edgestitching foot is very helpful here.)<\/p>\n

I didn’t make the oven mitt, as it didn’t seem appropriate for a three-year old.<\/p>\n

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?<\/strong>\u00a0Since this pattern goes from size 3-8, I certainly hope to have opportunity to make it again, if not for my granddaughter, then for other special little girls.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong>A really cute, fun little pattern. I made the hat and apron in just a few hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
