chef rolls

My life seems to be revolving around what the boyos need for the shop.  I have been making chef rolls.  Different sizes.  Different upscaled fabrics.  I having been using a lot of coats.

Some of the coats are easier to work with then others.  This autumn leafed one was horrible!  The leather was appliquéd to fabric to get the texture and to sew through it again was difficult.  But it turned out well.  Now, whether it will sells or not is always the question.

This one has been my favorite so far.  It is waxed cotton and wool.  I have to admit that I really like working in waxed cotton and have started to go down that road of how do I make it myself.  I have a bunch of canvas around that I could play with.  Or, I could go to the thrift store and find pants that would work.  

The chef rolls are both in inventory at my Etsy shop and Serenity Knives, if anyone is interested.

The sharpening truck idea may have gotten turned on its head.  Which is okay.  I just have to figure out what is next.  It means I may need to take apart what I have already done.  And I have been asked to build a new display table since new knives have come into the shop.  I am hoping to get lumber for that so I can build on Thursday.  I am still practicing sharpening for them too.  Next year may mean more hours sharpening.

Yes, I know Thursday is Thanksgiving but it is going to be untraditional.  We are having salmon pie with salad and pumpkin pie.  I like turkey but there is no reason to go through all that trouble for two.  I have also been playing with bread recipes.  Because I can.  But that does not mean I am making rolls for Thanksgiving dinner!
