This is a dressing gown that I began making about a year and a half ago, but lost. It went missing during one of our house-moves around that time and I feared I had sent it to an op-shop in its ghostly, half-finished condition. But then I found it again the other day, and quickly finished it. And now I can lounge around in my dressing gown, knitting and drinking coffee. If only there weren't so many other things to do!
It's a kimono-style drapey dressing gown made from double-gauze cotton. Not the ideal gown for this time of year, I must admit, and I couldn't steel myself to try it on for the blog (sorry). Anyway, you don't want to see my pasty and blue-tinged skin right now- there must be a decent dusting of snow on our mountaintops today. I used a great vintage pattern from 1979, 'Style' 2656. The ladies on the pattern cover look rather glam, don't they? Even though they're wearing floor-length sleepwear. Oh, to be from the 1970's.
