Apron and Chef's Hat

I stumbled upon this blog http://secretstitchclub.blogspot.com/ one day and fell in love with their adorable creations, especially the apron and chefs hat tutorial that they got from this blog http://makingitfun.blogspot.com. I knew it would make the perfect birthday gift for my daughter and eventually my son (who must have everything his sister has). It is very easy to make. I made the hat and apron in one night! I didn't put in the D-rings on the neck strap because I didn't have any at the time but I might go back and do it later on because it is a little too big around the neck for her. I also did not put a piece of cloth on the back. I didn't really see a need to do it but it does look nicer if you do. One other thing that I did differently is that I did a zigzag stitch (sorry if I am not using the correct terms, I am new at sewing) to attach all of the straps and did it back and forth a few times to make sure that it was secure.

I love this! I want to make one for Nora now, but alas she is too small.
