CHEMO HATS, TURBANS, SCARVES, etc. Updated 3 May 2005; a collection of links for comfort caps, chemotherapy hats, and miscellaneous ideas, culled from web searches and posts to various sewing email lists. In order to cut the bulk a bit, I've trimmed attributions, but please know that this is really the efforts of a lot of people. I'm just sort of keeper of the faq here. URLs are in no particular order within groups. If you find broken links or more resources, please drop me a note, and I'll be glad to update this. Kay snipped-for-privacy@fern.com
