McCalls 5769 - Mom's Robe

For mom, I made McCalls 5769.   She bought this fleece when Walmart was clearing out their fabric.  It's been in the collection for a while.  I was never quite sure what to do with it.  I finally decided a robe was in order.

 It was a little freaky working with this fabric.  Faces starting at me.  Weird.  I'm not a big political person and neither is my mother, but Obama's election was historic and here is here piece of history.

I had no problems with mom's robe.  Even the layout was relatively easy.  Of course, that's because I've used this pattern before for my robe.

Figuring the layout for my Alma Mater robe was a little more tedious, but I got with a lot of patience and perseverance, I prevailed.  Hail Alma Mater!

The only change I made to the pattern was to eliminate the interfacing. Just didn't seem necessary with fleece.
