Stash busting: Tuques Not Toques

These reversible tuques will be donated to the church to be distributed to those in need.  There was a request for knitters and crocheters to create some winter hats and scarves.  I can't knit or crochet to save my life, but I can sew.  


They are created with The Littlest Studio's "toque" tuque pattern.  It's a free pattern.  The red ones are made with red sweatshirt fleece left over from this dress, jacket and kid's top projects. The reverse side is a gray jogger's fleece left over from this jacket project.   The blue ribbed knit fabric was left over from yesterday's skirt project and the gray jogger's fleece.  


Project Details

Seams:  Serged and knit stich

Seam finish:  Serged

Fabric:  2 metres (for all four)


Pattern
:  The Littlest Studio free downloadable pattern

Additional Tools & Supplies:  Cutting table, scissors, pins, pin cushion, paper scissors, printer, tape, Janome serger, threads, Janome sewing machine, walking foot, thread clippers, hand sewing needle and coffee.  

Happy Sewing!
