OK, now you've got me wanting to sew up a robe myself! Great job and very thorough and fun review. 12/29/09 6:53 PM

colorkitten said... thanks, guys!! Peter, you really do need to do some robe sewing - perfect for over those nightshirts! I am wholeheartedly for the raglan sleeve - there are two in print these days, M4244 and S3575, not as detailed but of course easier to find. 12/30/09 10:55 AM

fourkid said... Great job - I love that pattern! I will be looking for it.
* Edited to say that this drove me to my favorite vintage pattern site -and they had the pattern in the size I need! Of course I can't buy 1 pattern when shipping for 5 is free! So the bathrobe and 4 other patterns are now on their way to my home :) 1/2/10 9:06 AM
