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.

Good for you, there is nothing like making your own

You will love it when it's completed! Good for you...

great for you! :) Have fun making something for YOU. :)

Good for you. I am short also and have to remake almost everything I buy.

Don't we always do for others first? Good for you and post a pic of it :thumbup:

boy do I need a new robe - badly, hadn't considered making my own, I haven't done that in gazillion years. Really should look into it! Thanks for the kick in the hiney~!

I made robes for everyone for Christmas one year. They all loved them but never made one for myself! Go Figure!
