Have you ever had one of those last minute request?......He came to me on Thursday morning and said, mom I would like you to make me a bath robe for my birthday.... and I asked... tomorrow's birthday or next year's birthday? .....so that was the end of our Thursday morning discussion before school and work............
After work, I branched off at Fabricland , looked through, but couldn't find any green flannel fabric... (Green being his fav. color). So went to Wal-Mart as usual and found this lovely soft flannel...... ..... Here is what I made after he went to bed ... I used simplicity 3575, and it took me about 3 hours from start to finish.....
It was a big surprise for him when he woke up in the morning with his gifts all wrapped up beside his bed..... So glad I was able to do this..... you should have seen the look on his face.......and I got one of those hugs and the ..." You are the best mom in the world" thing...lol.
Here is the birthday boy showing off his new bathrobe...
Enjoy........

You are the best mom in the world! It looks great and I can see that he loves it. Fine work!
ReplyDeleteAh seriously you are the "best" :)
ReplyDeleteHe looks so thrilled and those "you are the best mom ever" hugs make it so worth it.
Your WalMart must have a way better fabric section than ours. They really down sized it and there really is not much in ours, I've never been able to find anything, thank goodness for Fabricville :)
Ditto on above comments! You are such a good mom! He looks happy and comfy and warm in his new robe. Nice sewing!
ReplyDeleteYou're a great mom. I hope your son knows how lucky he is.
ReplyDeleteNice job.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that last picture of him. "Chillin'" in his robe. 'Cause that's what you're supposed to do in a robe.
ReplyDeleteAh, you are the best mom in the world and aren't our Sugarmen worth every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and so quick! He looks so happy in it - love the pose in the second picture.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you all for all the wonderful comments...
ReplyDeleteAwwww I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a super mom! He'll never forget it! Happy belated birthday. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI've come here from another blog, and I started with your latest post, and I can't stop reading! I like almost every dress you've made, and I've got a new list of patterns to shop for (even though I hardly have time to sew!).
ReplyDeleteMy son (9) wanted a turquoise (?!) bath robe for Christmas. I had a pattern already but no fabric. And I just couldn't make myself sew something that I really couldn't see him wearing, LOL. His dad found a grey robe with a big skull on the back instead. Boy's robes are actually hard to finnd! Your's looks great, and I totally understand how it feels to be able to do something like that for your child :)
