Default Making a Bathrobe Out of Old Bath Towels! - 09-15-2007, 12:56 AM

So I recently got married and got more bathtowels than I've ever imagined owning (especially since I only registered for one set.) Anyway Trying to be resourceful I decided to make a horribly mismatched colored robe out of some of the old ones. This is how I did it.



This is what mine looks like!

I just like the little drawings, hehe.

Totally rad idea though, turned out very Rocky-esque! Well, if Rocky liked to feel all warm and fuzzy anyway....

Welcome to ThreadBanger!

***applause!!!***

The tute was well-drawn and easy to follow, and you gave a really great explanation.

And I love the sassy pose! LOL!

I'd love to try this someday. I bet if you did it with old bedsheet(s), you can also have a halloween robe pattern of sorts.
