Review on Simplicity Adults Sewing Pattern Childs by Carol Miller

Excellent bathrobe pattern

I've been looking for a luxury hotel terry bathrobe for a long time. I didn't find the size and quality I needed. I wanted an ankle length robe with a belt around my real waist. I found a thick terry cloth and bought five meters. I like this model because it doesn't have a shawl collar. That would be too many thicknesses for home machines. I have chosen not to use an overlock because it breaks too easily. I finished the seams with a zigzag stitch. I used the excess fabric for towels and rags. I recommend a heavier fabric and longer length for those who can't stand drafts after a shower. There is a dotted line to add length. The finished width should be indicated on the details of the pattern. Otherwise, before cutting, use a tape measure to ensure there is enough fabric for the wrapping and the seams on the sides of the body touch. Just as carefully determine the desired length before cutting. The recommended fabrics are lighter than my choice. That means the larger size is guaranteed. When sewing thick fabrics, use an appropriate needle and reduce the presser foot pressure. Also lengthen the stitch. I recommend this model for all skill levels. If in doubt about the fit, make a muslin or swedish tracing paper.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
