(Warning: side effects include turning 3-year-olds into Kung Fu warriors.)
Dana's pattern is made from a beach towel, which is awfully smart. Also smart: the ties are sewn into the robe (cause I know we'd lose that thing before we got out of the car).
I had intended to make the hooded version, but the towel I bought wasn't quite big enough (and I ignored Dana's advice to buy two towels to be safe). Oh well. Still cute!
My bias tape is kind of sloppy. I might go with the store-bought version if I make it again.
It's a great pattern, and Luke really likes it (I suppose that goes without saying). Mom and son are both happy!
Note to Luke's pediatrician. I know you said we should try to keep him out of the pool until Monday if possible (swimmer's ear). But on a sunny, 95-degree Saturday, we decided it wasn't possible. As you can see, we feel really guilty about it!

I love towel robes - this is absolutely awesome!
You're crazy! I can't believe how fast you turned this out. It's awesome.
love Luke's wracked with guilt face. not too convincing.

oh it turned out great! You're one of the first to make it and put your pics in the flickr group. Thanks for sharing! It's fun for me to see :)

Sew cute! I never learned how to make clothes.
HILARIOUS!! Your son is cracking me up! I want a Kung Fu warrior too. Maybe I need to make some of these for my boys... :)
Bahahahaha! Those photos are priceless! Looks like he loves the new robe.
Holy smokes! Those are freaking adorable pictures! And such a cute robe!
Love it! Yeah, um, his pediatrician must be nuts. There's no way to avoid the pool on a Saturday in the Dirty South. DUH!
Loving how tan Luke is, thanks for bringing him up to work last week!
I love this robe! BTW, your son is adorable!!!
I bought the same towel!! And, I have to go back and get another one so my robes will have sleeves (already cut out the hood). ADORABLE!!
