We’re finishing off this week with a bang. Remember when I showed you that stunning large scale Liberty floral? Well it became a Mother’s Day gift for my mom.

This pattern came from Purl Soho, and it was delightfully simple to put together. Of course, since I started working on it shortly before giving birth and finished it afterward, it was not a quick project. I was alright with that, however, because I’d rather take it slow than mess it up- especially when working with such an exquisite Liberty print.

I’m so happy my mom liked it! Not gonna lie, if she wouldn’t have, I might would have had a minor breakdown. Not because of the robe and work put into it, but because the print is so dang beautiful! Yes, I am that crazy. :)

I hope you have a great weekend! I’ll be back on Monday with some new fabric and project plans.

Absolutely gorgeous!
amazing! do you recall the name of that print? i’ve never seen it before! would love to track it down!
I spent over an hour browsing the Shaukat archive to find the name of this print to no avail. I got it from B and J, but I can’t find it on there anymore. :( I’ll keep looking and let you know what I find out. I’ve had some other people ask this as well, and its like I bought it and then it disappeared from the internet.
ah thank you so much for trying to dig it out! i think it must be an older seasonal print.
This is incredible. What a lucky mom!
dear Meredith, what a gorgeous job you made of that robe! I wonder if you had any problems with gathers and puckers when you attached the sleeves? I am sewing the same pattern at the moment and seem to be making a real hash of it, and so have been trawling the internet for those souls who’ve sewed the purl bee robe! If you had any issues I would really like to know.
Much appreciated,
Giulietta
I don’t think I had puckering, per se. But I do remember that the fit is a little funny because of the sleeves. They’re not rounded to accommodate a moving arm, so that squared fit can be a little funny when worn. I feel like that’s not a helpful answer, but its the best one I have. I’m sorry!
[…] one needs little explanation. Anna’s Garden… I purchased the white background one for this robe, and didn’t think I’d ever get my hands on more. When I saw this colorway pop up in […]
