A couple of months ago I stumbled across one of my favorite websites in which Dana (the blogger of Made) had made up her own pattern for a beach robe. She had a couple of other fellow bloggers try out the pattern before she sold it and after reading their reviews I decided that I needed it too! I purchased this pattern from her and it arrived in my email in a nice PDF format in which 3 different sizes were included! I have the choice to make a 9-18 months size, an 18 months to 3T size and a 3T to 4T. The pattern also allows you to make long sleeve or short sleeve as well as the option of a hood or no hood. There are so many different ways to make a robe it seems to be endless!
Being the somewhat un-crafty person I am I called up my friend Lindsay and asked if I could come over so we could work on it together! I printed off the pattern in all three sizes and we went to work. She made a robe for Eli and I made one for my Niece. I feel that Lindsay finished her robe in no time and completely understood the pattern while I still feel a little confused on some parts. I never actually did finish that robe for my niece but I do need to so I can give it to her for her birthday (it was supposed to be a Christmas present for her but you know how that goes….). Once finished Lindsay added her own touch and put Eli’s name on it. We grabbed our little model and had a little photo shoot with him! What a cutie if I say so myself!
(Sorry for stealing your pictures again Lindsay! I promise I am not that bad of a Facebook stalker. lol).
Once complete Lindsay blogged about the robe on her blog which can be found here. She got together with one of her High School friends a couple of weeks later and made another one for her friends baby. You can find those pictures on her blog post here.
Thanks for your help making the robe Lindsay! I promise to finish the one I am making my Niece and blog about it sometime! I literally only have 2 more steps to complete!
By the way, I would not recommend this pattern for a beginner sewer! Just an FYI!
Ha ha ha. I saw your link on facebook with the pic of my son's robe and I did a double take. I'm like "I didn't just blog about his robe, weird!" My son's gonna be famous in no time!
