UFO #7: Summer Robe


Simplicity 5931

I cut this out last summer, as my fleece robe (done the same way from the same pattern) was feeling much to warm in the summer weather. I didn't get around to sewing it up before fall though, so it sat folded in a drawer, still pinned to the pattern pieces, until today. I had been thinking about this robe for the last week, as the weather starts to warm up and I mull over my UFO mountain thinking about what to tackle next. So I pulled this out after dinner, and 2 hours later tried on my brand new summer-weight robe :)

Pattern Changes: Remove collar extension and add 2" wide folded band instead of collar. Contrast Band, Pockets, Belt and Loops.

Printed Cotton.
