The Lahja dressing gown is a casual, straight-cut unisex sewing pattern. The Finnish word ‘lahja’ means ‘gift’ and, as the name suggests, this robe is a great gift either for your friend or yourself! There are two versions; a shorter knee-length gown with cropped sleeves, and a longer version that extends to the midleg and has full-length sleeves. Both variations feature large patch pockets and a belt fastening.
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Choose a non-stretch fabric. Depending on the desired look, choose a coarse fabric, for example natural linen, terry cloth, or honeycomb fabric or, for a lighter version, pick a drapey rayon or satin. The sample garments are made from stonewashed linen.
MATERIALS
Short: Fusible interfacing, 125 cm (1 3/8 yd)
Long: Fusible interfacing, 155 cm (1 6/8 yd)
