I'm too cheap for that.
I made my own pattern. Maybe I'll post how did that later on if anyone is interested. I won't make a pattern to download though, you can spend the $money$ over at MADE if you would like a pattern.
This bathrobe that I made is out of two towels. I couldn't get one to go far enough so luckily I had another one the same color. They were towels I didn't like anymore. I was just testing to see how it turned out. I love it, they are super easy to make, the binding on the edges is what takes the longest. I used my serger for everything else. I LOVE my serger! I ran out of the yellow binding so I had to use black for the tie. Bummer.
I plan to make a couple more, but out of nicer towels next time :)
Cost to make = "0" dollars
Old towels, binding left over from other projects. Doesn't get any better than that.
Dana over at Made suggest it be a robe for the beach, but we don't live anywhere near the beach, so swimming could work, but we use his for bath time.
