My son decided one day that he needed a chef’s hat and he wanted it to be very “poofy”. I knew I had to find some very stiff fabric to give the hat some body. After all, he wanted a mushroom shape, not a pancake! The local thrift shop had a surplus of military uniform shirts. The fabric was quite stiff and stain free.
After disassembling the entire shirt, I found there was more than enough material to make a hat as “poofy” as he desired.
As you might be able to tell, he is quite pleased with his new hat!

This is an awesome idea! I make chef hats for my kids from cardboard rings with paper towel stapled to the top for the poofy part, but making fabric ones would last longer (and be less wasteful). Thanks!
