Gift Post: Paint Tube Bathrobe

Before Christmas, I went to Mary’s again and we worked on this bathrobe. It wasn’t a complete bathrobe Christmas, but two people got them. That is about all the garments I can manage even with Mary’s excellent assistance.

This is a different pattern than the Tarot bathrobe. It has a flat collar instead of a shawl collar.

I bought this fabric awhile ago, sort of by accident. I was trying to replenish my stock of the dark grey version of this fabric and ended up with the light grey background. I like it, but Mom has put the stop sign up for more bags. I didn’t want to start a whole new set with this fabric anyway. I decided a bathrobe would be good. It used up most of the fabric.

As you know, I often get stuck somewhere on garments and my confidence drains away. Mary has been great about helping me. This time I was able to rip out some seams for one of her projects and also cut out a Classmates Tote for her to sew later. It was a good exchange for me, at least.

I was able to take a photo of both bathrobes and their people.

  1. Great work, Jaye.
    Thanks for sharing this fun idea. (I’d need more than a little help to make something like a bathrobe.) Enjoying thoughts of learning more things from you.

    1. I am definitely not the person from whom to learn garment making. From me you can learn that confidence helps a lot. LOL! There are quite a few online classes for garment making. I think bathrobes and pajama pants are good projects with which to start.

  2. Awww, that picture of the two lucky bathrobe recipients. Those smiles are worth all the work that goes into making a garment. I’m so glad that you have a garment sewing consultant.
