Pattern Description:
Very loose a-line wrap robe in men's sizing. Above ankle length, has collar, dropped shoulders, carriers, pockets, long sleeves and self belt.
Pattern Sizing:
XS - M
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
It did.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I can now make this robe in my sleep. I've made it 3 times. The first time was for my husband.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
This style covers all the basics in sleepwear and I chose this style for charity sewing by our local sewing groups for the hospital.
Read the research behind why I sewed up this robe.
Fabric Used:
Rayon print knit.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
The sleeves are shorter than the pattern.
I've sewn the self tie to the back of the robe so that it doesn't get lost in the wash.
I've not used the carriers for the sleeve cuffs.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would use this again but I'm putting this pattern to 'bed' for now.
Buy this pattern for $9.71  List Price: $12.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
