Warm woolen dressing gown

Add caption

I managed to finish my warm woolen dressing gown in time

for the cold weather.

(How far away is Spring??)

I decided not to line it afterall. I am making a gown out of the lining instead.

Still deciding whether to have long sleeves or not.

I kept the original blanket stitching as the hem. Originally I did this to the sleeves as well, and the realised they were way too drafty.

So I finished them with a ribbed cuff instead.

 

I am very pleased with the results - a beautiful woolen gown for a mere $10.

 from an online garage sale.

And a mid season gown for $0 from gifted stretch satin.
