I was going to Denman college with the WI in March and needed a new light weight dressing gown as three of us had been gently persuaded to share a room. We normally have a lovely single room each, but due to complications with numbers we agreed to help out. It turned out to be very pleasant indeed and really enhanced our stays, as we chatted and interneted and shared our days.
I digress. It is made from light weight seersucker cotton, in a lovely sky blue check. I think it was a NewLook pattern with a raglan sleeve.
I had not added a raglan sleeve before so that was new.
See how it goes into the shoulder.
I put most of it together using my overlocker. I only did the top stitching around the neck, cuffs and hem on the straight machine.
Hanging and looking slim.
Tied and looking chic.
On my dress makers dummy, looking a bit podgy. Must be the light!
It was super for the trip and in daily use at home.
3 metres of material at £2 per metre is £6 plus the half price pattern £4.99.
Total cost £10.99 plus thread.
