The Lounge Robe – Ultimate Comfort and Style

Date: Saturday, February 28

Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Description

Join Irene for this relaxing and rewarding one-day workshop to construct the beautiful Style Arc Loungewear Robe. This is a wonderful project for creating a versatile and comfortable garment that is perfect for layering or luxurious lounging.

The Loungewear Robe pattern features a simple yet elegant design:

The robe has a comfortable relaxed silhouette that drapes beautifully. It includes practical features such as a defining tie belt and essential patch pockets. For those looking to elevate the finish, Irene will demonstrate the technique for adding optional piping,  as well she will discuss the option of adding decorative stitching to the facing, either of which would add professional and polished detail.

Irene will guide you through all aspects of construction, including working with delicate or soft fabrics, ensuring neat pocket application, and mastering the optional piping technique. This is a perfect class for the sewist looking to create a high-quality, personalized gift or a new favourite piece of loungewear.
