She had a few things in mind already: made from similar or the same kind of material (light, cotton/cotton blend, SOFT), tea length, cuffs, and tie closures. So, of course, we made a girls' day out of it when we went fabric shopping and a pattern just in case I lost my way in the making of it. However, I never actually needed it! Thankfully, I was able to figure everything out. All of the following pictures are from social media because I did a terrible job of actually documenting the making process.
It's a bit rumpled from the packaging, but it was a success. Happy Mother's Day to the best mom!💕💮 I was a little worried about putting the collar and trim together, but it actually came together quite easily considering there were no instructions to follow.
I put a loop between the side seams, one on the inside, one on the outside. Ties were put on the facing-front panel seams on both sides. I was dumb and didn't buy enough of the braided/looped trim to also make it around the cuffs, so we settled on some cotton twill ribbon, which actually looked awesome and rather smart once sewn down.
I had an excellent supervisor for the cutting process!
....He allowed me to put the pockets on after the appropriate amount of cat hair had been applied.😺
I also remembered my Pink Coat Club labels right in time to use them, so of course I put one in.
This robe was definitely one of my favorite projects to make just because it looked so good from concept to creation. My mom has good taste, obviously. 🌟
Happy Sewing!🧵
