Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Just popping by to show you a present I sewed for my Mom. Butterick 9214, from 1959. I really enjoyed making this pattern, I love the elegance of it. I used a heavy velour fabric which has a great drape and is cozy for a robe. My mom loves it and feels very glam in it. Read more about on my blog: ErikaMadeIt
Have a happy and healthy 2013!

The way the ties are designed add a really nice look to the robe. Great work. What a lucky mom you have!
Thank you and trust me, I’m the lucky one.

Absolutely love the collar and ties!
The ties are so easy to copy, and will never get lost! thank you
Love this. I soooo need this pattern! If anyone has one hanging about in their stash, please let’s make a deal!
Thank you, I think you could easily adapt a regular robe to look like this by making side ties.
So true, but that would require thinking! Maybe after I finish up the last of the Christmas gifts …
Sassy lady! Love your mum’s fluffy slippers pose on your blog
I’m kinda amazed how a simple change in the shape of the ties takes the humble bathrobe to glamtown. Will definitely keep my eye out for this pattern.
My mom is sassy, thank you!
Wow, I love this, it kind of reminds me of Marilyn Monroe’s robe in How to Marry a Millionare, I so want to make one now too!
