Chemo Cap Update

We met last Sunday to make chemo caps for cancer patients at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at UAMS. We were able to complete 32 caps, including quite a few embellishments to go on them (see photo).


If you're making the caps at home, we found that the turban pattern is a little more difficult. The "Easy Chemo Cap" pattern is much simpler but there is a small learning curve to it.

I will go ahead and take the completed caps to UAMS this week since they have an immediate need for them, but we will continue this project next month. I think now that we know what we're doing, we can get quite a few more of them made. And don't forget to select some fabrics that would be appropriate for male patients, too.

Thanks, ladies, for a very productive sewing circle! I know the patients will appreciate your labor of love.
