Loose Ends

I purchased 6 yards of satin for Josh's robe. (I won't include the color here in case he's reading.) The pattern is Simplicity's 3969, the only robe pattern I could find that I didn't have to select a size before buying the pattern. This one includes sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL. I think Josh already knows I'll be coming at him with measuring tape in hand. I've included the picture from the pattern. I think it'll be especially handsome because of the length (high visual impact and maximum satin-on-skin allowance) and the wider lapels. The packet includes the pattern for a pair of sleep pants, which I'm thinking about making when I finish the robe--not in the same color but one that will look quite smashing as the other part of a set.
