Have you ever seen the film Enchanted April? I haven’t watched it in at least a decade or maybe longer. I hope there is nothing offensive in it. I sometimes think fondly on an old film and then rewatch it and find myself appalled by something I never noticed before!
Anyway, in the film, Josie Lawrence is wearing a lovely silk kimono robe. I’ve always wanted one. I have shopped robes but never found one I liked or felt good about buying. Then I decided to make one, and I shopped silk but couldn’t find quite the right thing. I finally settled on this cotton lawn with cranes and peonies (printed in Spain).
This was a very zen make. I didn’t follow instructions or a pattern. I measured and cut rectangles and sewed them together. I made the sleeves extra long for extra waftiness. Isn’t it great with the pink tile? I purchased this fabric several months ago, before I’d even seen the pink tile! Happiness score = 😃
Bob and I walked our local rails to trails bike path this morning. It wasn’t too far and it was a well kept path. I got all my steps in today!
I can’t wait to drink my coffee on my hammock swing tomorrow in my new robe.

I love your robe! Great job:)
A well groomed trail is so nice for walking. We have a new “greenway” in our town. It’s basically the same sort of thing. We haven’t walked it yet.

Extra waftiness? Not extra coatings of food as it drags through the scrambled eggs?? Looks great, though.

That is a great robe – beautiful! And it definitely does look great with your tiles 🙂 Glad your nearest path is close and pleasant to walk! Rails to trails places are usually so nice 🙂

Your robe is stunning. It is yet another reason that I should play the lottery so I can win and hire you to be my stylist.
