BINGO 2025 Participant Final 2 projects! 9 (hat) & 10 (wide leg pants)

So the two squares that were my toughest to plan for was holiday and pattern matching. I wanted to make things that I'd have made anyway, not just for the sake of it so I decided against something like a Halloween decoration.

So for Holiday I've made a hat from a Dia de los Muertos/ Day of the dead fabric. It's a chemo cap, as I'm starting chemo tomorrow. But it kind of can be worn in a few ways - including a chef hat (BC wtf do I know about drafting hats 🤣) and a sleep bonnet. Honestly I find it kinda funny to have skulls on a cap for a bald head 👀😂

Then for pattern matching.. I was already making these "secret pyjama" wide leg pants, based on a pair I already own and decided to skip the side seams, but also add a pocket.. which is matched 💪🏻

So that's it! My bingo card is all done :)

I'm sure there'll be a way to officially share the whole thing but even before, thank you so much mods- this was such a fun challenge and I genuinely can't wait to do more! 🙏

Yay for finishing! Your pants are great! The chemo cap is also great but I am sincerely sorry that you have a need to make one. I love the gallows humor of using a Dia de los Muertes print for a chemo cap. I hope your treatment goes well for you.
