Robe Redo

I had two cotton robes that I had purchased as guest robes, but after about four years only one of them had ever been used. 

So I decided to redo one of them into a robe for Arden.

They’re nice organic cotton – I bought them while on a business trip in Thailand.  I used to be an internal auditor for my company and traveled all over the world.  I have some pretty cool purchases from the trips I’ve taken.

I started by using a seam ripper and removing the tie and the pockets.  Then I used a tunic length hoodie of Arden’s to get the basic shape. 

I sewed and serged the seams and reattached the shortened tie to the new waist.  I also made a hood and attached that to the collar.  I think I’ll keep this for a Christmas present for her.  Now I just need to decide if I’m keeping it white, or dying it.  Pink, maybe?  I have a little bit of the original robe fabric left, so I might make a little wrap for Hadley.
