Hi you crafty bunch!
So, today I have for you the snuggliest cosiest softest dressing gown ever made! Cuddle fleece is THE best, lol.
I had meant to make this before Xmas so I could snuggle on Xmas morning with a Baileys coffee, with Rosie in a matching jumper, buuuuut I ran entirely out of time, and out of fabric which is why itâs a little shorter than I had hoped, and why Rosie doesnât have her matching jumper!
I did buy her a Xmas jumper though so at least she matches in colour!
âBARK BARK BARK!! Dis MY photo shoot, not yours stoopid hooman!!â
So, after my usual trawl through my huge stash of patterns (paper and pdf of course) to find a dressing gown or robe I liked, I printed one and then changed my mind, printed another and stuck half of it together⊠then changed my mind again, mostly issues with sizing as those ones didnât quite go up to my size so I was going to have adjust it a fair bit (including potentially an FBA), and I was at this point in another rush, but this time to make it in time to take on a Spa Break with my bestie
So I went on a hunt to find something more suitable (e.g. easier for me, lol), and came across the Compose Robe pattern from Love Notions which thankfully fit the bill perfectly as it went up to my size, AND had a full bust option so I didnât have to make any amendments, wahay!!
Suffice to say I love it, I got it made in time for the Spa Break, and am of course still currently wearing it, with my pjs, even though itâs nearly midday. And whilst Rosie doesnât have her own matching jumper, itâs so snuggly that sheâs been snuggling with me more which is defo a win win for me.
Oh and the âplush cuddle fleece fabricâ was from my fave fabric store Minerva.
Iâm pleased to say that my lovely MiL got me vouchers for there for Xmas in fact so Iâll be very soon putting in a large order for more fabric, mu ha ha ha. Cos obviously now I have a dedicated spare room just for storing my fabric, other craft supplies, stock of doggie collars etc, I have to make sure itâs as jampacked full as our old house was, rofl.
Anyways, hope you like!
