Last year for her birthday, Very Tall Daughter asked for a non-fleece robe for her birthday. I delivered, and it was pretty and a total failure, so small in the arms she could not put it on.
So this year, I returned to an old, old pattern (older than many of you, I bet), dug through my stash of cotton, and found some penguin cloth I bought to make curtains only to have someone deem herself too grown up for penguin curtains. I had to buy the contrast cloth for trim, but other than that, the robe was free--and it's long enough for a daughter a full foot taller than I am.
