Have you ever been in love with a garment? Well, that's me and the Kwik Sew 3644 Robe. I have been wanting to make a robe to match my nightgown I made
here and
here.
I've only sewn a few Kwik Sew patterns and this one makes me think why have I stayed away? The pattern was easy to sew, the directions were very clear and the robe came out perfect!

Fitting Chart |
I loved that the Kwik Sew pattern was marked with ALL three measurements (Bust, Waist & Hips). After a little thinking I added 1/2" at the bust seam allowances, 5.75" at the hip seam allowances and 1" at the sleeve seam allowances. Nothing unusual for my shape.

Piping on Sleeve Cuff |
The directions were clear and easy to follow. It took me about two days to sew the robe. I tried to take my time, and I even added piping!
I used a king size flat sheet I had in my sheet bin.

The robe is a great fit and I love that it wraps completely in the front. Great coverage.
Until next time......................

It's a great looking robe - and smart to use a sheet!
ReplyDeleteI love that, especially with the piping--really stands out--in a good way. I need a lightweight wrap robe. Never would have thought to use a sheet. It's the right weight and texture for comfort.
ReplyDeleteI have hidden in the closet a flannel sheet set I might sew up for a winter robe & nightgown set. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWow - you did an excellent job on that piping! Beautiful robe! Beth in AL
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLooks great & I especially love the piping.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was worried about working with the piping but it went together easy and I'm so happy I tried it.
