hello everyone, after a much needed vacation I was anxious to stitch something but I think I went a little over-board with this housecoat for our god-daughters up-coming birthday. I purchased the robe but took it apart to do the arm. I worked with metallic thread (& needle) & it worked like a charm (first time no thread breaks) I used fleece inside the hearts, she will be 9 & purple is her favorite color.
