This beautiful Indian Block Printed fabric was an impulse buy and I think it will make the perfect summer dressing gown. In this video I take a look through all the lovely fabrics and start thinking about the design and the layout!
The Etsy site where I bought the fabrics is called Colours of Spirit.
This is where I got the pattern mellysews.com/sew-robe-easy-t...

I turned on your video today to listen to while quilting. My 9 year-old daughter was playing legos in the same room. She spoke up and said, “Oh, I love her! She is so good at sewing.” Thank you for opening your sewing room up to us. I love that my daughter is learning from you too and that we can watch your videos together. Love from North Carolina, USA.

I'm not sure how I found your Home channel, might have been through your gardening channel. Whatever way it was, I am glad I found your home channel too as I love sitting and listening to you chat about your quilting projects. It feels like a conversation with a good friend, and at my age and stage of life, a good friend is a treasure. So thank you very much! I don't quilt much these days as I haven't found the work around for my back aching as I sew, but you've inspired me to keep trying to figure that out because the creativity that sewing invokes in me is really a balm. Who knows, maybe some day we will have a two way chat! Love and light to you, Kate.

Would it not be easier to hand quilt your piece of material you have made from the big squares, before you make it into a garment? I love all the patterns on the lovely material, just beautiful. As you said yourself Kate, this pattern reminds me of the wonderful kaftans we made back in the 60s/70s! I so loved my Kaftan I put together back then - the good old days! xxx

I am a huge fan of dressing gowns/ house coats! If I'm at home I'm almost always in one. Winter over my clothes and in summer mostly naked underneath. If anyone comes calling I am presentable and I'm not wearing out my clothes or being a walking magnet for my dogs shedding hair. Anyway, DO NOT SKIP ON THE POCKETS! You will regret it. I make my house coats/gowns with beautiful colorful fabrics with big roomy pockets. In the summer when it's hot if it wasn't for the pockets I'd just walk around naked... 😅 Can't wait to see your finished project!

Loving the reversible idea, MUST have pockets! And all the cut off pieces you can use to make little Agnes a dressing gown like Grandma's, maybe for Christmas? Maybe cut the "other" side a bit larger so you can make felled seams after it is quilted? Love it!

I made a dressing gown out of a woven yardage done in the Japanese Saori style. I use some of my tablet weaving belt yardage for a tie. I just cut it in two lengths and sewed up the back, reinforcing where I stopped at the back of my neck. Left the fringe. So one side has fringe at the back and one at the front. Very simple and very cozy. I used the lightweight Mandala yarn as warp and weft and lots of add ins and different techniques, so it's a sort of sampler. I sewed up the sides leaving ample room at the arm holes. The fabric drapes down my arms to 4 inches past my elbow crease. I was going to add sleeves, but never bothered. It's lovely. Just two strips of yardage sewed up just shy of halfway folded and sides sewed to just below my arms a good bit. I changed my profile picture so you can see it on me. My favorite. Have two others that rarely get worn. Since it's Saori style weaving, cat claw snags disappear into it and become a part of it. You have inspired me to make a second one of quilt blocks. In winter sometimes I just nap in it and use it as a blanket. It needed pockets so a small pin loom was used and I made 4 squares sewn together for each pocket. Out of the same yarn. I don't have an actual Saori loom yet, so I used a Ridgid heddle one. About finished with more yardage of the same type and yarn. Made a nice drapey fabric.

Just an idea or advice (as you want) for your pockets. Your challenge, cause you're gonna work with patchwork tissu to make your clothe, your challenge will be to match the pockets with one of the squares on the front of the clothe. Otherwise the pockets risk being shifted. I think that inside reversed pockets will be the best option. Think about it.

This will work well, i have done a similar but short garment many years ago. The trick is to not quilt up to the edge. You then sew the outside fabric seam, trim the batting, and fold the inside fabric inwards and sew the edges by hand with an invisible stitch. When done quilt across the seams in a few places. I love love those fabrics.

Hi, Kate, It occurred to me that you might consider using a Sashiko Needle for Hand Quilting. They are longer and have somewhat a larger for heavier thread. It would cut the time down and be so much easier on your hands. Keep up your delightful You Tube connection with we, people, who have gotten to think of you as our FRIEND.

You've inspired me, and solved a problem. I have two thin cotton kimono dressing-gowns that belonged to my mother that I 've been keeping because I can't think what to do with them. I can patchwork them together and make one quilted dressing gown! They are both lovely fabric, and I have other block prints that would make sure there's enough for lining and binding (because while I was watching you and I thought, I would edge that just like the boro jacket), and, of course, for pockets, because every garment should have pockets.
