That could be a nice alternative (I actually bought that first, before discovering this vintage pattern). Might be worth checking out. <br /><br />Haha re your bathrobe -- I think it might be time.... to.... let that one go, as much sentimental value as it has... <br /><br />Are you kidding?? I LOVED the stuff at Fabrics for Less. The service could be better, of course, but when you could get beautiful rayon at $5 a yard, you won't hear me complaining :) Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644415042425814372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-15093744396306591812014-09-08T20:48:59.758+01:002014-09-08T20:48:59.758+01:00Thank you Philippa!

I may have to troll eBay for this pattern... my current bathrobe was a gift from my then-boyfriend, now-husband when I was heading off to college... yikes, 13 years ago! It's ragged and filled with holes. <br /><br />PS- I'm so glad you had a good find at Fabrics for Less! I know some people are turned off because it's small, not fancy, and crowded with bolts, but I always find something nice and inexpensive when I go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-23697136874793935962014-09-08T08:56:23.868+01:002014-09-08T08:56:23.868+01:00This turned out so well (despite being a difficult...This turned out so well (despite being a difficult fabric to sew). I love the colour and the shape. I make all my own pjs and have a selection of handmade aprons, too...they get so much wear, they are almost more satisfying than my other handmades, even if no-one else sees them :)Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-19929185052196168512014-09-08T08:31:36.446+01:002014-09-08T08:31:36.446+01:00Thank you!

As for the walking foot - the built-in walking foot is why I bought my Edith Pfaff machine. I'm a new sewer and I haven't sewn that much but it seemed prudent! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
