Needed a new robe for winter - looked at the stores and couldn't believe the cost! Since I'm short I usually have to shorten ones I buy. Off to JoAnn's for their 3.99 Fleece. It will cost about $15.00 with buttons and the seleeves and bottom will be the right length. It's been a long time since I have sewn for me and really enjoy making this. Now to decide on the embroidery design for the yoke. Of course I have a quilt top I want to finish. Another day.
