Made this robe yesterday. (Simplicity #3969 view F w/alterations) The fabric is what I love the most. It's a high quality fleece that I got at JoAnn's on clearance for $5.00 a yard. I'm not usually a "pink" kinda girl but I couldn't resist this one.

It's not exactly sexy (is fleece ever?) but it's sooooo soft and cozy. :bg:

The robe looks great and I am just loving the print on the fleece fabric. Wonder why I never happen upon any treats like that :re: ?

Lennie it's never the garment that's sexy - it's the contents - so go ask your dh what he thinks.

I'm yet another fan of the fabric - I would have had to buy it too. It looks lovely. And you can never have enough polar fleece stuff.

Thank you everyone! This is why I come to this site. I just know it. Even if I made a totally ugly something or other so many of you would still find something nice to say. Who doesn't love that?

And Pauline, I did say something about looking like a pink cat lady in this but he said with a hug (and I quote), "You look sexy in anything you wear or he he, don't wear."

I'm a lucky lady....:up:

LOL Jan that is funny!!!! Of course it takes you to come up with that funny line. Girl i couldn't stay around you for too long I would be hurting all the time laughing.

Lenny if he's like my husband all he has to do is think about you and he gets all gooshy. (if you know what I mean.) And truthfully I don't see what my husband gets so excited about but he does. :bluesmile::up: Just put a bow on and model it for him and drive him crazy. :angel:

We are lucky, aren't we Susie? I don't see what he sees either, I guess, but I'm glad he does.

And Jan, it's HIS fancy I want to tickle. :bluewink:

But I do like the cave woman approach.....hmmmmm You man, Me woman............:bg:
