Do you know the feeling, when you wish your granny or mom was this amazing and could teach you these intensely smart and kind instructions, and then you find someone this kind and smart on KZbin, and you think the world is a great place? Well, this is how I am feeling right now. Melissa -- you are amazing. Thank you for this content and for being so fabulous!

Thank you so much for this fab and easy to follow tutorial. Been wanting a hammam style robe for a while - bit pricey to buy though. Found a couple of light cotton summer blankets at a local discounter by chance this weekend (less than €6 each), and thanks to you, am delighted with a robe I've created myself (tassles n all)! All for €12, with some yarn I already had, a long weekend, and a bit of patience 😁

This is so great! I assume the measurements would basically be the same if making this for a man, would that be correct? Men often have wider necks, would I need to make those measurements wider?
@Mellysews

Yes, measuring would be similar for men and yes you would want to find the neck circumference of the man the robe is intended for.

I’m trying to make this with a cotton bedsheet, but every time I sew along the underarms and down the side seam, I get bunching. I did a snip into the corner, but I still get bunching. Any ideas where I’m going wrong and what I can do? I’ve unpicked it about 8 times now!
@Mellysews
@Mellysews 4 ай бұрын
You have to snip pretty close in to the stitching and then you'll still likely get wrinkles, which are different from bunching. My most recent video about sleeves helps explain this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKO4dHt8oJt_iNk
