Hi! Here’s another thing I made fairly recently; a summery linen robe.
I used the new Veronik pattern by Closet Core patterns, and a really lovely (I think) sky blue and white pinstriped linen, inherited from Mum’s stash. It’s really beautiful, though not my colour really, and then when the idea came to me to make a robe for a friend for her birthday I rummaged through my stash and realised this colour was actually perfect for her. I only just managed to get the pieces for the Veronik robe out from my 3m of fabric, the pattern recommends you need a lot more than that.
Ok, I just checked, and you need just 3.4m, but still! My honest feeling is that even that is cutting it quite close!
I took my time and made it as carefully and as beautifully as I could; doing flat-felled seams throughout including the armscye. The long neckline/collar is stitched down invisibly by hand stitching on the inside.
I really loved using this pattern and will definitely be making more in the future. I think it makes a gorgeous gift for a lady! I hope my lovely recipient enjoys wearing it!
