Please, sit. Coz you're gonna pass out otherwise..

Okay so, I have a new project.

Okay, B's bed stuff is finished, I just need to buy the cushion inserts and pillows for her bedroom and then I can take pics of the completely finished product. She's not getting neckrolls, I cant be bothered trying to figure out how to turn squares into circles (yes, you can read that as "muppet is being lazy"..)

so anyway.. EvilMe wants a dressing gown.

Requirements:

Must be long.
Must be black.
Must have a large hood to cover his big boof head.

So I went to my trusty local Lincraft store looking for patterns. It took me nearly an hour of searching through all of those stupid pattern books to find what I wanted, and hey guess what? The last book I looked in is the book that had the pattern I need. Figures, doesn't it?

Okay so here's the pattern:

So, what do you notice about the picture on the front of the pattern envelope?

Two kids right?

Yeah. My boyfriend fits into a size 14 kids.

God I hate him sometimes.

So I'm making the robe the girl is wearing. And now, I'm having a fit. I cut the pattern pieces no worries, and then I read the instructions.

No wonder I failed sewing at school! It's not that it's hard, it's just that its.. well.. hard-ish.

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE LET ME GET MYSELF INTO TROUBLE LIKE THIS? WHY? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????!!!!!!
