Pattern Description: unisex child/teen/adult robe AND dog bed (woohoo!)
Pattern Sizing:XS-L, XS-XL
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?yes it did
Were the instructions easy to follow?very easy to follow...almost TOO easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?that it was simple, quick, had a variety of sizes, and pockets because my son MUST have pockets!
Fabric Used: Steelers (gag) fleece that my aunt sent to me since she heard that DS loves the Steelers {sigh}
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:Well....while pinning the facing pieces together, I didn't check to see that the right sides were matched before I sewed them, so they were all bass-ackward and I HATE removing stitches from fleece, so I decided to just toss the facing and fold over the front edges (with mental fingers crossed) an let it go at that. DS didn't care because his robe was finally DONE
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Probably will sew it again since DD has outgrown the last robe I made for her. MIGHT sew one for me if I get the urge. Definitely recommend it to others, just not if you are doing it in team fleece and the Super Bowl is looming rapidly in front of you - yes, I know they didn't make it, but I promised him it would be done by then and, even though I blew out my back, I was determined it would be done....2 hours before kick off and it was...lol.

Thanks for the review. The last time my granddaughters were here I noticed that their robes were 2 small. I will have to make them new ones with this pattern. Looks good on you.

Looks good... maybe it's just as well without the separate facing b/c it seems like that could get bulky in fleece.

What a cutie - the robe turned out very nice - I agree, no need to do facings on fleece.
