Dressing-gown: plaid cotton flannel with long sleeves, turnback lapels, patch pockets, and a wrap-style button waist.
This is the softest, most comfortable fabric ever. I wear it over my sweatpants and feel like a Hollywood starlet! It's a mash-up of several of these styles, and I used it as a sort of trial-run for some techniques I haven't tried before--separate waistband in a dress, lapels without a collar, wrap-style anything. I'm glad I chose a button closure instead a tie--it's much neater-looking, requires no ironing, and looks like a frock-coat in the right light!
Those pockets need another row of stitching, though... :( It's always something.
Here's the back--I love the way the darts curve the lines of the plaid:
And my grumpy face, for your amusement:
So lovely! I love a good tartan dressing gown :)
ReplyDeletethat is so cool, I just love the buttons, I hope to see it on Sew Weekly this week coming!!
ReplyDelete@Debi: yes, my life was empty without it!
ReplyDelete@Charlotte: Oh, that is the next theme, huh? I'll have to do some digging and figure out how to post a garment. I'm baffled by the Sew Weekly user interface... all me being inept at technology, of course, nothing to do with the design!
