I think I love this robe more than Kate ever will. One of my favorite blogs to read is SouleMama and I remembered seeing a similar robe she made for her daughter last Christmas. I am planning to make Kate some Christmas pj's and then remembered the robe and it quickly made it's way to the top of my project list. I found the vintage pattern on ebay as well as the flannel Michael Miller fabric. The flannel is so soft I'm going to have a hard time waiting until Christmas to snuggle her up in this! It came together really quickly. I got a little hung up on the button holes--I've only made 1 before. But I think I've got the hang of it now. I should probably put the Christmas projects on hold for a while and think about Thanksgiving. I am cooking the turkey afterall.

So cute Jill! You really are so talented! When do you find time to do all this stuff? I wish that I could make the time.
To die for! I'm horrible with clothing patterns and get a little discouraged that there aren't cute stuff for boys. I can't believe you are making the turkey...daring!!
Oooh, I love it! Kate is so lucky. I love that fabric.
ps. Peter is going to be Peter Pan again for Halloween, so I'm forging ahead....I might need some of your expertise....
Whoa--Jill BUTTONHOLES?? Those are hard!! You are amazing. So fun to see all your projects. My next project is a halloween costume for Ron and I--should be hilarious.

This is ADORABLE! Patterns really intimidate me. Maybe I need to just give one a try.
That is such an adorable robe. I quite enjoy the fabric and the ric rac! Note to self: buy more vintage patterns...they are fantastic!
Hi Jill!
I saw your sewing blog on Jill's (your s.i.l.) my former roomie. This is the most adorable robe! You have so much crafty/sewing talent! What a great blog! Also, I saw that you guys are at Yale, My cousin Katie and her husband Robbie Glazier are at Yale/new haven too, do you know them? I think she is the YW pres or some such calling? Anyway, such a cute family you have and your daughter is a sweet pea!
