1960's Fashions by Fieldcrest - Mother Daughter Robes From Towels - Free Patterns
Fieldcrest® is a trusted brand of household linens. In the 1960's the company published a complimentary selection of patterns and instructions using Vogue, Simplicity and McCall's patterns. This wonderful duo of casual pullover robes for both women and children have easy to follow instructions for cutting and minimal sewing to achieve these sturdy and easy to wear robes. You may have to look for vintage towels for patterned towels, or why not go for the hotel white effect. Whatever towels you choose they will surely be a hit this winter as a cuddly and warm lounging caftan.
I remember these! My mother made them for herself, my sister, and me. I must have been about 4 or 5. I'd forgotten all about them until this article. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
