Haven't sewn robes in years but used to. The great snuggly, wrap around kind that didn't require buttonholes! With so many wonderful fleeces, it would be a snap and warmth without weight and easy care. If you didn't want to do the cotton and batting, etc., just wait until Joann's has a sale on their quilted fabric - already done for you. Remember as a kid in the late 50's, early 60's, the robes were made out of pastel, quilted nylon. Yikes I'm showing my age for sure.
