Whee! New clothes!

I always like getting new clothes, even when I make them myself.

I noted how my Black Watch plaid flannel nightgown was getting altogether too holy for everyday wear, and took it upon myself to come up with something new as a nightgown/house robe.

There was a length of bright pink serpent-scaled pattern fabric in the box that I don't think anyone had plans for. I took it and improvised a pattern based on a very simple robe Mama made for me years ago. (swallowtayle, that was the black-and-white checked T'Khut robe.) This version lacks the hood, and has a much simpler sleeve style.

Intitially, it was the whole doubled-over length of fabric with hole for head and holes left for arms thing; I decided it didn't drape very well, and took the ends of the sleeves and tucked them back up inside, doubling them up so the tips are fastened at the edges of the neck-hole. It fits comfortably, and as elegantly as a great loose sheet of BRIGHT FUSCHIA can.

I'm happy.

... nightgown was getting altogether too holy...

<feigned-misunderstanding>
Holy, as in unusable except on special days and ceremonial events...? ;)

Ones where nudity was most appropriate...
