Grandma's Robes

This is a sewing theme LO I did for the March Sewing challenge. It's the first time I used my sewing machine on a LO. I also used my Sew Easy. You might have a hard time seeing the sewing machine stitching as it its almost mono-chromatic.

The photo is of me and my brother about Christmas 1960. We are at our grandmother's house and she had made us matching robes of black and white plaid fleese with red rick-rack trim. I hope I thanked her enough! She grew up in the country where every woman worth her salt knew how to sew. She always made all her clothes including the dress she has on in the silhouette photo of her looking on. Her machine was just like depicted in this paper, it was not electric it had a treadle.

I lifted Roosterhead Designs button heart for this and Cndgay on fussy cutting out my grandmother like she did her aunt in her LO "Margaret".

Papers are The Paper Studio Kellerkurtz & Co. and Haberdashery as is the Vintage Rose Ribbon.

Doily is from Bonnie Prate, Thank you Bonnie! Buttons are vintage buttons from my mother's and grandmother's.
