A Boy and His Toy

Ed loves a good toy!

Honey...is this too bright?

That's what I asked The Husband when I sashayed into the room to model my new robe made from M5248.  What do you think?

His eyes nearly popped outta his head, but I think, I hope he was just funnin' me.  I like it but realized as I was standing there modeling it that it didn't have pockets.  I'm not a real pocket gal, except when it comes to my bathrobe.  A girl's gotta have a place for her kleenex in the morning.

So, I guess it's back to the sewing room to add pockets..........................

Butterick 5331 is still not complete and my desire to finish it, even though so close,  is waning  more each day. So I am putting it aside for now.

It's a shame really. I put a lot of work into, here is the inside.

 

Every seam is bound with bias I made myself. It looks great but ...well...I just don't know.  Time to move on.
