A Quilter's Dressing Gown/Wrap :)
 

I absolutely love this. Did you use a pattern & would care to share the name? Thanks

This is lovely and it even has a pocket which I can't seem to do without. Your friend is a lucky lady.

That is so nice. Looks so cuddley and warm. I wish I was wrapped in that today. You did a fantastic job.

Wow, that is great wish I had one!!!!!!

Good job!

Thanks everyone!! ...

I started with the free pattern at Connecting Threads, and then made my own improvisations, starting with only one layer of fabric.

It's "sew" simple and quick to make.

I'll look forward to seeing what the rest of you create.


Shelbie ... me too! I "need" pockets in everything. Again, wasn't part of the pattern, but one of my add-ins! Lots of snow up there in "High"? :D Only about 3" here, with a fine show coming down again now.

QuiltE ... it looks great. I love the ragged edges and the plaid. So manly. Yes ... you deserve one too!

Thanks DHMom!!
I hadn't planned the ragged look, but as I was working with it, and auditioning the border sizes, it just kind of jumped at me. Originally I'd bought it for a nightgown for myself ... Little House on the Prairie style. I only wish I had more of that same fabric for my own housecoat and/or nightgown but so looks like it won't happen. Although ... if I could find some blue flannelette that coordinates with it, I do have enough of the plaid for the yoke. hhmmmm? Reason to go shopping, I guess! :D

I love this dressing gown! I will have a look at the pattern and see if I can find something suitable to make one for myself. I only have these heavy ones which I don't like.

I love it!!

Dig into that stash Anael ... you could do it in regular quilting cotton.
Though it wouldn't be quite so cozy as the brushed cotton is or a flannelette would be.
I have visions of another one done with quilt block pockets.
What a way to use orphans!!! :)


JeanieG ... would be perfect for all your tripping about!

I love the fringing.

turned what could have been a plain robe into a work of quilting art! the litle rag edge and touch of quilting is perfect.
peace

That is wonderful QuiltE. I am sure that recipient was thrilled. WELL DONE!!!!

love love love it! great job.

Very nice and really like the colors... did you prewash the fabric?
Thanks for sharing..

Love the dressing gown! perfect!

Just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day and New Year

Absolutely! Several times, to deal with the shrinkage before making it.
And once more for the ragging.

I love it QuiltE, you have been very busy. Must check out the website

Wonderful job. Love the way you staged the picture with the evergreen wreath too. Very creative!

Looks like a warm and cozy. Love the style and colors. Great Job.

Not only is it pretty, it is matched perfectly. Very, Very pretty.

Very very pretty!

What a great robe, beautiful job!

Love it, what a fantastic job - lucky friend. That is one perfect unisex housecoat.
As for the snow, we can send you some, so far we have about 2- 1/2 feet & up until a week to 10 days before Christmas, we had almost none !! But of course, we life in Northern Ontario & the snow gods love us more !!! LOL
Happy New Year everyone.

Love it!

It's beautiful. If you need an address to send me one let me know

Looks great ! Love the colors.

Cozy! Lucky friend.

How creative! Just love it! Don't think I've ever worked with combed cotton. What exactly is that?

Yes, unisex ... and being a wrap with the drop sleeves, fitting it to the individual is not an issue, either.

I'll be fine with the Snow Gods, providing they keep us with even whiteness.
I don't require depth!
You'll be out playing snow golf! :)





Technically, I'm not sure!

IMHO it's pretty much the same as flannelette.
It's not quite so bulky, so perhaps a finer weave?
It used to be a common men's winter shirt material, usually in plaid, and used as a dress shirt, rather than as a work shirt.

Looks sooo soft & comfy.

Pretty slick.....bet that was appreciated!

Really cute, love the extra's you added.

I love it! And a very Happy New Year to you as well!!!

Looks great, so warm and cozy!
