I finally found time to get back to this project and I'm so pleased I did. It came together really well and is my new favourite item of clothing!
I like it both sides out and I have to say, I think there will be pockets before too long. You know my theory of pockets? A garment is useless without them. So, pockets it is.
If you make a similar thing you could tag me on Instagram. #lhhlgs or #kateatthelasthomelyhouse
The Etsy site where I bought the fabrics is called Colours of Spirit.
Catherine Called Birdy is the film I really enjoyed where Andrew Scott swanned about in a dressing gown that inspired this one!

In America we would call this garment a “robe” or a “house coat/dress.” I love that you take your time to return to started projects. I do the same thing. Creativity is not always “linear.”

@judithburke1539 11 месяцев назад

Or even a Bath Robe. It's amazing to see how different the name's are for the garment with the same function.

@hellenic.h1168 11 месяцев назад

It is so funny how we all call normal th8ngs by such different names my kiwi friend calls hers A Brunch Coat.. in oz we also call it a dressing gown:).

@impishrebel5969 11 месяцев назад

It depends on which region you're from. I would definitely say dressing gown but I'm also not from the center of the universe--- I mean east coast.

@debbiew3052 11 месяцев назад

And now my plain, green "robe" has a lovely new name - it's my dressing gown!

@christineboyce988 7 месяцев назад

Oh Kate, I bought my fabric from the Etsy shop. It came quickly, sorted them and am ready to go making your fantastic dressing gown. I will also add the gussets. I plan on wearing this to my garden. We can be the dressing gown gardeners. Look out pajama gardeners Arne and Carlos

@VenessaOliver-lb9fw Год назад

In case no-one else mentioned it, Kate has a channel all about her garden also🥳 I was having an awful day and then i saw that you had a new video for us all. And then I read a whole lot of comments. What a wonderful place the LGS is. All positive, happy comments about 'our' lovely, creative, sharing Kate. Thank you ALL so much for making me feel better. I adore what one person called your leisure gown. I feel that name fits it best. ❤ from Western Australia

@jacquehabermel4827 Год назад

In America, a dressing gown is called a housecoat, at least, in my family! None have ever been as beautiful as yours💖

@mindydehart7165 Год назад

I'm in the US too, and we call it a robe...and I love to wear mine as much as possible!

@sandygardner6060 Год назад

Or bathrobe to some 😅

@deniseblake6214 11 месяцев назад

For me, an elderly UK lady, a bath robe, a dressing gown and a housecoat are 3 separate garments

@pattyhansen7563 8 месяцев назад

@@deniseblake6214 what is the specific distinction of each...you have piqued my interest. I just say bathrobe. I just 'won' a SpongeBob Squarepants neon yellow fleece job for xmas, at a party. I hate sponge bob & I hate fleece. I would lean more towards what Kate has or a flannel robe. But my kids thought it was so hilarious that I ended up with this Thing, that I kept it & wear it daily just to bug them. My younger daughter said that it makes me look "too commercial" & she hates it. 🤣 It has done its job!

@charliedeloach1222 Месяц назад

@@deniseblake6214I would love to know the distinction

@tinatippin5705 Год назад

The underarm triangle was a brilliant solution. Many colors makes for a cheery wear. I am toying with making myself a "couple" aprons rich in my favorite fabrics. I have been thinking all of them will do just fine. Your dressing gown proves it. Happy week, Kate.

@jaedd_plans 11 месяцев назад

I'm always so amazed when people can make things like this without any sort of pattern. It turned out so cute! I love it!

@jeanmanz2234 Год назад

Too beautiful to be a bathrobe. Too classy to be a housecoat. Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely a dressing gown. In the Midwest, USA.

@jamiethrogmorton2540 Год назад

I agree. The two layers of fabric gives just a nice amount of warmth, structure and flowiness! Beautiful, as always, and an extra cheerful way to float through the gray days of winter. 🌞

@rebeccasloan3605 Год назад

That is awesome! I wouldn’t change into “going out” clothes until I absolutely HAD to!!😅

@kathystone8817 Год назад

many in the US call it a "bathrobe". I love the idea.

@Silva007ish 11 месяцев назад

I love this…beautiful fabrics. My Grama called them housecoats and they are comfy! Must have pockets…my daughter in law had her great grandmother’s old housecoats and she asked it I could make a quilt. I said yes, just the kind of unique project I love. My thought was to cut as many 12 1/2 squares as possible. When I looked at the dresses they had beautiful Pearl buttons, some had ribbon ties and pockets. So I cut my squares to include those special items. It turned out fabulous!

The dressing gown is going to be beautiful! You make it look so easy!😁 I love how you share with us how to be flexible. We can change our minds. I would like to try this. I do think it would look wonderful quilted, too. I would probably need pockets! 😂This has been so enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

@Dranma51 Год назад

Such a beautiful gown, Kate! I love the fabric! The smile on your face says it all! ❤️

@nursekate6772 11 месяцев назад

Hello Kate! LOVELY dressing gown! You've inspired me to make one for myself although I have TONS of unfinished quilts in my sewing room. Some are projects where I started making blocks and half way through the project, I hated the fabric or pattern so much I just stopped and moved on to the next project. Right now I have 11 quilt tops that are waiting to be sandwiched and quilted, and bound. UGH. By the time I get the top finished, I'm tired of looking at the fabric, so it goes into a plastic tote. Usually in the fall and winter seasons I pull out a few of them to complete, and I'm ALWAYS forget some that I've made and think to myself "why on earth did I put this in the tote? The fabric is lovely." and I end up liking the quilt again. 😂😂😂😂

@conniebublitz2966 Год назад

You have inspired the world once more MS. Kate!❤ This is another Joyful project......simply DELIGHTFUL! So enjoy this and every other that you might have up your sleeve🎉

@cwfan2 11 месяцев назад

Sew the right sides together. Leave a turning "hole" perhaps in the hem or the sleeve. After you turn it press it and then topstitch all around. You can pull a lot of fabric through a small "hole". What I usually do is place two pins on each side of the "hole" in an "X" shape so I don't forget to leave that gap.

@susanbaker3078 11 месяцев назад

Hi Kate. My much loved granny was from the UK and she always used the term dressing gown for what we in the US often call a robe. I love all our different names for things!! What a lovely garment! 💜💐🤗

@susanradford9503 Год назад

What a fabulous dressing gown. I love those vibrant colours.

@janchalmers9867 8 месяцев назад

T love how you have created a really beautiful and practical dressing gown out of 10' squares with a belt and pockets i also think a hanging loop is a must, the fabric you have used is to die for so floaty love love it.Thank you for sharing. 😍😍

@eileensecrest2185 Год назад

Oh, Kate, the dressing gown is magnifique! What great ideas you have! And of course Im going to run out and make one for myself! I love the flowyness of it and the fact that it is just squares! Wow, so much bang for the buck with this one. I love it.

Kate, I absolutely love the dressing gown. I so enjoy your videos. I’d like to live in the lovely space you’re fortunate enough to live in. Even via video I get an excellent vibe from your home. Until next time, life’s best to you. 💕

@deedeewalker1564 Год назад

What a great result! I’m mainly a knitter these days so it’s inspiring to see the equivalent of a scrappy project using fabric. (I guess not truly scrappy, but a similar idea!) I really appreciate how you bring us along with you as you plan and scheme and then tweak and change your plans. It’s interesting to have insight into how someone else processes things. Thanks to you and Anna for all of the work you put into the videos!

@c0ldlight1 11 месяцев назад

This came out absolutely marvelous! I especially like the way the hand stitches look around the cuffs- it must make for a wonderful experience when you turn them up. I have to admit that watching that film also made me want to "swan about". It was a smart choice not to add the batting, I think you'll be able to get much more wear out of it at the lighter weight. Although, it would be spectacular to quilt with that fabric as well. It's beautiful!

@beth12svist Год назад

As someone who often takes time with her projects, I really appreciate that you do, too! And why rush it when the end result is so nice! You have time to really think what you want to do that way, and remember the details like the hanging loop. Such amazing colours in this one.

@philippagrun2189 Год назад

@zettaermakova7037 11 месяцев назад

The creative atmosphere in the room provokes to make such beautiful things! Thank you so much for the pleasure of listening and watching! In Russia we call it Halat from arabic ḫil᾽аt and sometimes it becomes a sinonym of idle time and lazyness. There's an adverb in Russian language meaning that you do something inaccurately and careless - it can be translated as "you do it as if you were wearing halat with long sleves"

@blackhellebore89 Год назад

Yes it could be called bagging out - or a bag lining. And you would usually leave a gap at the hem or somewhere else to turn it through.

@stitchann Год назад

Just Gorgeous, Lovely easy project that is totally customizable. You mentioned that some folks didn't know what a dressing gown was. I sure did but bathrobe or housecoat is something we might call it in Canada. I would consider adding some tacking stitches here and there so when you wash it, it will hold together.

@robbiebowers831 Год назад

That is working out great,Kate. You have made me think of making ,one for the winter! But using my,stash of yarn,with Grannie squares ! Wouldn't need to line it! Will let you know how it goes (if I ever get round to it) Lol, but think your kimono, is reallgreat! Well done!

Hi Kate just watching your vide on the very gorgeous dressing gown, it occurred to me that instead of using the lining as the lining use it as a second gown and line with one cotton material, the other one use a lightweight fleece so you had a warmer version on chilly days.
