Gigi, this is a wonderful robe, and your ILs must look terrifically stylish in their coordinating robes. Love the monogram, too. Thanks for reminding me that these utilitarian garments can be really special and personalized.

This is such a good gift idea-everyone needs a nice robe. Serging the front band on is a big time-saver. I do this on all cardigans, kimonos or anything that has a banded edge. It makes a lighter, more comfortable finish. Adding the bands to the sleeve and pockets is a nice touch too. As an alternate method when using self-fabric, you can serge a mock band. Make a deep hem the same way a blind hem is done on a regular machine. Instead of serparate bands, this is an extension added to the hem. Figure out how deep the band will be, double it, and add a narrow serger seam allowance.

Diane, robes are one of my favorite gifts to make. :-) Mini, what a great idea to make mock bands - now why didn't I think of that?

What a great gift idea, coordinating his-n-her robes! I may have to try this for some of the folks on my Christmas list... thanks, Gigi!

Gigi, lovely robe. It looks like it came from Nordstrom's! My DH needs a robe so this pattern goes onto the wish list. ;-)

Your DBIL & Sis must be in 7th heaven with these for their hot tub. I love the band pockets, and the serged neckband tip is invaluable. Thanks!
