Getting Ready for Winter...



My eldest son is getting too big for his old dressing/winter robe; and so I decided to make him one out of this soft and cuddly coral fleece with bear prints all over. Lucky 1 meter had been enough to put in a decent length of tie and a pocket to it.



I don't exactly have a pattern for a dressing robe but I derived it from a shirt pattern that I have. Turns out really well, I presume. The insides is also finished clean with edging stitches. I made it in size 5 so that there would be room for him (armhole, sleeves & bodice) as he grows and leave at most 2 years more before I make him another one.
