Happy 40th birthday to me! (a little....late)

Guess what this is:


Yep, I finished the bathrobe! Over two years after my mother gave me the gift of the fabric for my 40th birthday, I FINALLY got my act together and sewed it up!

Here I am in all my terrycloth glory!(I had to brave the boy cave to take the above picture. Nowhere else in the house is there a full-length mirror. Seems to me a full length mirror is wasted on boys.)

Fabric detail
#5 of my 2010 resolutions completed!

Knock on my front door before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. if you dare! I'll greet you wearing my lovely bathrobe!

PS I hate cutting out and applying interfacing. I just want to sew whatever I'm sewing and having to deal with interfacing slows me down! (I know it's necessary, but it's not the fun and good part of sewing)

I love it, and especially the detail of the fabric. How posh!

Oh, and happy birthday!

If even belated, it's still a lovely gift to yourself. I'm glad you finished finally, now go sit on the couch on your bathrobe and eat bon-bons. The fabric detail is very nice.

Now can you do all my many sewing projects that I want to do?
