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.

Mine was pink with flowers!! Guess I'm old too!!

Mine was plain pink. One of the very few things I ever had that was bought in a store.
My Mother and Grandmother made all my clothes including winter coats even through high school.

I always say that I no longer sew clothes, but as my sisters say the Christmas season has officially started when I start working on pajama pants. We have 7 children (all grown) and 13 grandchildren, they all want pajama pants. They usually start telling me what kind of fabrics to look for right after opening their gifts. This has become a tradition and I love it. The first year (about 9 years ago)I made pajamas and robes for the little ones and robes for the adults but the adults all wanted pajama pants too and so it started. Now they all get pajama pants and occasionally a robe when one tells me they need one. By the way, the Christmas season started this past Saturday.
