Here are a few pictures of the other half in his bath robe. It was a 2-hour Simplicity pattern, which is lying around here somewhere in the post-New Year debris!
We began the morning cup of coffee, and a wicked grin. Trouble is brewing – more than just the coffee in the coffee cup! Photobombing is most likely going through his mind . . . .
Do you notice the overall greenish theme – robe and coffee cup? Pretty clever of me to think ahead for the photo shoot I knew was coming.
The robe was a success! I wasn’t really sure if it would be. I felt the roll collar was a bit too stiff, didn’t know if the side pockets would be acceptable (side rather than patch), and the length of sleeves and robe were left undone at the time of the wrapping. I loved the material, which is a fluffy flannel, rather loosely woven, and rather ravelicious when sewing. Overcasting, felling, all sorts of endeavors to keep the threads from escaping the warp and woof.
And speaking of “woof” – here is the Master of the House with Smudge, a Mistress of the Canine Guard. Please admire the modesty of the pose, the fine fire guard, Italian marble and mahogany fire place, and decorative tree, along with my fine photography skills.
Happy New Year, Everyone!!
