Robe updates and surprise, Misfits box

The main seams stitched, I tried the robe and it felt too snug for a casual item. Sooooo I opened the seams back up on both sides and inserted panels under the arms, wrist to hem, which gave a much better drape. 

As you see

Now to create a neck facing and cut it so the neck is a t shape. Then hem the cuffs, then attach patch pockets, finally finish the hem. It's below knee length, not too long, to avoid tripping on the stairs. After it's all done I'll decide if I want a belt. Plenty of fabric available. Possibly a hood, too. We'll see.

Then I will have a cosy robe for winter reading and whatever else takes place.  And big pockets to house whatever I need to lug about. This is particularly important for stairs, the fewer things in my hands the better.

And I know it's not Friday but Misfits appears to have changed my delivery day to Wednesday. I checked and they say I might lose my slot if I change it back. 

I think they're growing rapidly and organizing customers without mentioning it. This doesn't really matter. I can just change the frantic prep time.

And since this is how it is here

Notice the "feels like" bit. Guaranteed to make a person feel worse.

So here's my response 

Mid afternoon break, Misfits apricot with the last of the birthday cake, suntea. Lovely color and flavor combo as well as cool. Supper of Misfits salad in the background. 

It's good.
