Oh wait, that’s not right. This is more like it: Hubby Needs a New Bathrobe.
And now he has one:
Yes, the Dear Husband has a new bathrobe to replace the last one I made him, which was completely worn out. I confess: it was more than worn out. The cuffs on the sleeves were so frayed that I resorted to turning the ends inside and stitching new hems as a temporary measure while I made him a new robe.
I found the perfect fabric at Montavilla Sewing Center in Lake Oswego where I teach: a honeycomb design on a midnight blue background, part of the “Patchwork Blue” line from Maywood Studio. It paired beautifully with the midnight blue blender (“Shadow Play,” also from Maywood) that I used for the front band, tie belt, and pocket trim:
My view of the DH reading the newspaper every morning at the dining room table just got better!
Wow, Charlie is going to look extra handsome and distinguished in this bathrobe! I especially like the trim on the pockets which is a pleasing offset to the main fabric print. I assume that the belt is sewn into the back of the robe to keep it stationary – a brilliant idea. Nicely done, Nubs. 🙂
Very stylish to go with your handsome husband!
Very nice looking.
Dear Dawn, how beautiful ❤️! You are such a great artist. I am thinking of you so often and also of Portland!
