Ah! The best, a robe that I made for a custom job, but which was an amazing brown wool boucle' has returned to my keeping, along w/ the rest of the Jedi, he called and asked if anybody I knew would want to buy it, he's moving to Isreal, so I bought it, I need to alter it, and he had it in storage, so I'm going to wash it, as well as the rest of the washable parts. Will be wonderful on Amtrak to Orlando!

I found the 10 yards of melton wool that I had bought years ago... it was sitting in a box in the garage. No damage! It's really heavy and will make a great robe for the winter. Now I just have to decide which pattern to use... the raglan sleeve or the one piece cut. Raglan works better for the shoulder tucks I think.

I prefer the raglan myself.

If you have 10 yards of fabric then you have plenty for the one piece cut. I've never tried the raglan sleeves. Is the pattern for that online?

I actually made the pattern using the sleeves from an old big shirt I had. I just cut it up and traced the shapes of the parts I wanted to change, modifying the one piece design. The thing I have to remember though, is that to do the shoulder tuck, I need to cut a longer armhole and give more volume to the sleeve.

Most commercial Wizard patterns or an easy mod of a clown pattern work well. I just do it from memory.
