Dreaming of a White Christmas

Its only the second week of summer ,we have already had several days approaching 40 o C (104 o F) I think a White Christmas will stay a dream, but this cosy dressing gown will be comforting when winter returns. It was nice to get such a big peice of fabric out of my stash, it was gifted and had been in my cupboard so long it was granted permanent residency. For the hand-made satin piping and binding I recycled table toppers I made for my daughters 21st birthady 8 yrs ago, I am very pleased with this freebie! The pattern was Simplicity 5737 circa 1983
