Anyway, back to the hunt for the perfect winter bathrobe.
Remember? No wrap-tie fronts, wrists covered, ankles at least approached.
The next day after exhausting everything on this planet that would ship to my address, I decided to find a pattern and make my own. Sleeves that are too short can be changed by cutting them longer before the cuff. Length that is too short in a pattern almost never happens but if it does, that, too can also be fixed. The search should not have taken very long except I FIRST LOOKED AT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE PATTERNS. Waste. Of. Time.
Finally I wised up and checked etsy.com and found a lot of out-of-print patterns that suited me just fine. Here is the one I decided on. Kwik Sew 2726. Then to choose fabric. I want fleece. A non-pill fleece would be just the thing. Maybe at a sale price.
Fabric.com had a lot of fleece on sale. I picked one I liked, found a website that would show me the back of the pattern, figured out how much to buy and ordered. What do you think?
Sweet, isn't it? I just now noticed the ruler at the bottom of the picture. I thought the cute little double cherries pictures would be about the size of a quarter. Well I was wrong. Can you see my photo of the fabric that came Tuesday? Yes, that is my quarter.

Could not find a house coat to suit me. Frustration. Solved when I ran across Blair's elongated sweat jacket which snaps down the front. No ties, no hair attracted, warm and comfy.
