A very late post today, sorry! But the good news is the second robe is done! And looks awesome, if I do say so myself :)
|
Ta-daa! 24 hand stitched buttons... |
It's a fairly simple looking robe and it was quite interesting to sew. What you can't see is that it has a scarlet sleeveless lining. It looks as though the sleeves are lined, but that's a sneaky addition I put in the cuffs.
The red piping detail is hand stitched, as were the buttons, but luckily the button holes were machined (and Katy is a star for lending me her machine when mine had a hissy fit!).
|
I love the piping, it really makes the robe! |
The robe is straight at the front, but had three pleats in the back, so it is manoeuvrable in.
|
The pleats in detail (sort of...) |
I love pleats, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by how awesome they look!
|
The rear view :D |
So yeah, that's it really. Now I'm going to go get some sleep, as by Thursday I hope to have finished a skirt, waistcoat and pair of trousers. I think I'm mad...
