Progress report

The "French terry Granny-Smith-Apple-green with black piping and belt" robe for DGD is ready to wrap. It looks long, so I'm going to wait until after Wednesday to hem it, but I'm actually happy with everything except the in-seam pockets. Should have gone with my instincts and done patch pockets, this fabric is quite bulky so the pocket insertion isn't as smooth as I would have liked. But the piping was a good addition, it makes the shawl collar really stand out. Pics later.

That is absolutely beautiful, Beverly, and green isn't even one of my favorite colors. Your DGD will feel like a queen wearing it. Thanks for the photos. Emily

Thanks! I'm thinking it might be a bit warm for DGD. ;-) And it certainly is green!

Nor mine, the only greens I like have more blue in them.

Thanks!

Probably not too warm. Teen-aged girls tend to bundle up. Not like us, who throw off the covers and grab a wet, cold washcloth sometimes. One of the best-received gifts I gave one of the girls years ago when she was a teen was a bright red longjohn complete with the drop seat. She loved those and wore them for years. Until they were completely worn out.

This one is hot-blooded, she wears a very light weight robe of flannel I made several years ago. It's too small now which is why I made a new one. But I'm worried about the fabric, it's heavier than the flannel she loved.

I just put up some additional pictures, of the sweatshirt I embroidered for DGS with the new college logo and a tiny monogram.

Thanks, Kate. I was having a serious case of funk (low blood sugar) on Wednesday and didn't think it was going to get done, or if it did I wouldn't like it, but now I think it will suit DGD very well.

Yes, indeed! When you see her bundled up in it, you'll know for sure. I can just imagine her sweeping into a room......tres elegant.

Ah, but for très très elegante she would need a long black cigarette holder...

Perhaps she could settle for a licorice stick?
