I turned on your video today to listen to while quilting. My 9 year-old daughter was playing legos in the same room. She spoke up and said, “Oh, I love her! She is so good at sewing.” Thank you for opening your sewing room up to us. I love that my daughter is learning from you too and that we can watch your videos together. Love from North Carolina, USA.

Thanks for sharing the fabric address. Beautiful, beautiful colors. Your dressing gown will be a joy.

Thank you for posting more regular videos. We love to see you and see what you are up to. I find it interesting how we feel that you are like family and miss when you are gone to long.

I feel a whole bunch of us are going to be chopping, sewing etc etc and new dressing gowns all around come autumn 😂..brilliant.

Yes me too. How cosy!

I'm not sure how I found your Home channel, might have been through your gardening channel. Whatever way it was, I am glad I found your home channel too as I love sitting and listening to you chat about your quilting projects. It feels like a conversation with a good friend, and at my age and stage of life, a good friend is a treasure. So thank you very much! I don't quilt much these days as I haven't found the work around for my back aching as I sew, but you've inspired me to keep trying to figure that out because the creativity that sewing invokes in me is really a balm. Who knows, maybe some day we will have a two way chat! Love and light to you, Kate.

I love quilted clothing. It’s just the only one in the world like it, and every one is a piece of art. So enjoyable. Thank you.

So much inspiration from your videos, Kate, Thanks.

Pockets YES definitely!

definitely pockets. Definitely.

I think this is going to be lovely and nice and warm for you.

Such a fun adventure! Enjoy!

I CANT WAIT FOR THE FINISH 👏👏👏👏👏❤️. ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME 😎

I just love everything you do Kate, you lift my day! I loved your patch reversable jacket, I think it is like the coat of many colours. You are so gifted, and lovely, and I wish there were more Kates in this world of ours! xxx

Thank you so much Kate! This project is a real ‘feast for the eye’, and I’m sure will provide you with lots of joy while you’re working on it! It certainly makes my dressing gown appear very ‘tame’ in comparison! It’s one redeeming feature is that it is pink!

I just found your channel. I’m watching from Lebanon Tennessee in the US. We are about 25 miles from Nashville Tn. I love this idea! I have so much fabric that I have collected through the years, this would be a great way to use some of it. Since I’ve become a widow, stitching and crafting have been therapy for me. Thank you for sharing your talent. May GOD richly Bless you. I will now be following you. 😊

Thank you Kate. One of the nicest pages I've found in ages.

My ultimate project plan is to make yardage by piecing and quilting to re-upholster a chair I have. I have seen chairs in shops and advertisements covered in quilts and I think they are quite pretty.

Kate there is only one thing to say.... This is so exciting! I think we are as excited as you are to see this come to fruition.

I think it is going to be very beautiful . Can't wait to see it.😊

Earlier this week I received my Aurifil Thread Box and Quilt Planning Notebook. I love it, so now I'm stitching with my beautiful new threads while watching the new video. Thank you so much Kate and Anna

beautiful fabric....pinks for the win!!

Would it not be easier to hand quilt your piece of material you have made from the big squares, before you make it into a garment? I love all the patterns on the lovely material, just beautiful. As you said yourself Kate, this pattern reminds me of the wonderful kaftans we made back in the 60s/70s! I so loved my Kaftan I put together back then - the good old days! xxx

Thanks Kate!

First i wish to tell you i am so glad i found your show. You amaze me with your projects. Love them. Never stop, please. Barb may

It sounds absolutely beautiful! And the fabric blocks are amazing, I can see why you like them so much!

Kate, you look so well. The new format is obviously suiting you. I still get a rush of excitement when a red notification comes up. Love the fabrics & your ideas. Hello to everyone else on the lime green sofa. Can't wait to see the finished housecoat. Best wishes, Ellie. Formally Seneca's groupie.

I just love how your concepts come together the fabric blocks are beautiful & I am excited to see how it all develops into your quilted kaftan cosy colourful & gorgeous 🥰

This will work well, i have done a similar but short garment many years ago. The trick is to not quilt up to the edge. You then sew the outside fabric seam, trim the batting, and fold the inside fabric inwards and sew the edges by hand with an invisible stitch. When done quilt across the seams in a few places. I love love those fabrics.

Kate, you are a marvel!! Many of your videos get me started on a new "Kate" project! So I have many, many WIPs!

What a great idea! Definitely with pockets! Can’t wait to see the finished dressing gown, Kate!

Oh my gosh…I enjoy your videos so much. Your voice is soothing and you get to the point! Thanks for creating these lovely videos!

Can't wait to see your dressing gown.❤

Beautiful Kate and just in time for season change🎉🎉🎉🎉

Brings back memories! My mother made my grandmothers patchwork bathrobes one Christmas when I was young . She worked so hard on them. I thought at the time how wonderful they were, maybe that's why I grew up to be a quilter. I do need a robe.......I know yours will be colorful and wonderful. Good Luck Kate

I’m not a garment maker so when I saw the title of the video my heart sank a bit. How wrong could I be!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking to buy but how much more fun to make it from 10 inch squares. Thankyou Kate, as always, for a lovely video and an even better idea! ❤

This rather reminds me of Bilbo's dressing gown in the Hobbit . If i could get my mitts on some fabric that looked like that , I'd get nothing done ! So very visually pleasing 🥰

I can’t wait to see your dressing gown. 😊

Diamond gussets under the arm( could be made without wadding) would be charmingly old fashioned and greatly increase your range of movement.

Congratulations on the new grandson!

Oh my!!! How clever you are. I can hardly wait to see the final product.... it will be beautiful.

Joseph and his .. Coat of many colours , Love it ❤

I get so inspired by your videos. I've missed many months of your videos because I quit my job got an online job and moved to Europe so I've been busy! 😊 so it's so nice to be settled and to be able return to your comforting voice, your wonderfyl home and projects. I have missed you. Hello everyone! 😊

Now I need a new dressing gown. I have a flannel gown I love, but my kitties think it's a napping spot and always want to sleep on it. I need to get my own. Thank you for sharing your world. Just love it!!

You've inspired me, and solved a problem. I have two thin cotton kimono dressing-gowns that belonged to my mother that I 've been keeping because I can't think what to do with them. I can patchwork them together and make one quilted dressing gown! They are both lovely fabric, and I have other block prints that would make sure there's enough for lining and binding (because while I was watching you and I thought, I would edge that just like the boro jacket), and, of course, for pockets, because every garment should have pockets.

My squares have arrived can’t wait for the next episode 🎉

Thanks Kathe. Have a nice week. Your jacket is wonderful. I bought the same book. You have a lot of ideas to sew new items. See you next time. Greeting from Germany. ❤👋🐞

What beautiful cloth you've chosen! I love how you have laid them out together

Wonderful fabric designs, and pattern. Melly Sews is a great help to us sewers. Can hardly wait to see your dressing gown come to life.

Patch pockets on the slant would be my vote. That pink stripe with the tigers... perfect!

Love that you make each project uniquely your own! Can’t wait to see the finished jacket! ❤️

I am a huge fan of dressing gowns/ house coats! If I'm at home I'm almost always in one. Winter over my clothes and in summer mostly naked underneath. If anyone comes calling I am presentable and I'm not wearing out my clothes or being a walking magnet for my dogs shedding hair. Anyway, DO NOT SKIP ON THE POCKETS! You will regret it. I make my house coats/gowns with beautiful colorful fabrics with big roomy pockets. In the summer when it's hot if it wasn't for the pockets I'd just walk around naked... 😅 Can't wait to see your finished project!

I can not wait to see it!

Hi Kate I made a similar coat and decided to quilt each piece separately with a Kantha stitch then sewed together with seam allowance outside then did a binding over the seams with a striped fabric on the bias. Looked great.

Love your channel Kate. It takes me back home.

I can't wait to see the gown!

I made a dressing gown out of a woven yardage done in the Japanese Saori style. I use some of my tablet weaving belt yardage for a tie. I just cut it in two lengths and sewed up the back, reinforcing where I stopped at the back of my neck. Left the fringe. So one side has fringe at the back and one at the front. Very simple and very cozy. I used the lightweight Mandala yarn as warp and weft and lots of add ins and different techniques, so it's a sort of sampler. I sewed up the sides leaving ample room at the arm holes. The fabric drapes down my arms to 4 inches past my elbow crease. I was going to add sleeves, but never bothered. It's lovely. Just two strips of yardage sewed up just shy of halfway folded and sides sewed to just below my arms a good bit. I changed my profile picture so you can see it on me. My favorite. Have two others that rarely get worn. Since it's Saori style weaving, cat claw snags disappear into it and become a part of it. You have inspired me to make a second one of quilt blocks. In winter sometimes I just nap in it and use it as a blanket. It needed pockets so a small pin loom was used and I made 4 squares sewn together for each pocket. Out of the same yarn. I don't have an actual Saori loom yet, so I used a Ridgid heddle one. About finished with more yardage of the same type and yarn. Made a nice drapey fabric.

Wow! That’s absolutely beautiful! What a wonderfully creative project, and so much love in it! Thank you so much for sharing your technique and finished garment with us!

Thank you so much for this lovely glimpse into your creativity. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

It's a beautiful idea, and will be lovely when finished

Kate! So nice to see you and it is going to be beautiful 😍. Muahhhh and smooch smooch ❤

So next an indian-Hantan-Jacket/gown....well,well. Your free spirit and endless ideas are amazing .Don't stress yourself. Stay healthy is most important....

A banyan! A goal of mine! But now I know how I want to do it! You are such an inspiration.

All the ideas I had as you went along, you implemented. What a wonderful project!

I’m excited to follow along with you Kate. Love the quilted idea…similar to having fabric “pre-quilted” like in the fabric store. It’s going to be super fun!

Love flosstube. Beautiful. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hello everyone,think the dressing gown is going to be absolutely beautiful...love the reverseable idea...pockets...they are a must.Love to you all ❤8.30pm GMT

I enjoy watching you. You are great sewer.

This is a very exciting project. Can’t Waite to see more

Wow I love that quilt behind you. ❤

Such gorgeous fabrics ! That dressing gown is going to be divine 😍😍😍

Am excited about this new project. Can't wait to see the next video ❤

CAnt wait to see this done!

Love to see your project...Love to hear you talk. So calming. And I laughed out loud when you talked about measuring yourself...hahaha..I know what you mean.

I love the idea of making a WARM dressing gown, as I tend to be on the cold side most of the time. I am most interested in seeing how you will join the already quilted pattern pieces togethe at the seams, so that it is nicely finished on both sides.

Those fabrics are DELICIOUS! Reminds me of Kaffe Faucet.

Loving the reversible idea, MUST have pockets! And all the cut off pieces you can use to make little Agnes a dressing gown like Grandma's, maybe for Christmas? Maybe cut the "other" side a bit larger so you can make felled seams after it is quilted? Love it!

Such lovely fabrics! I would put squares of the same colour together and make your gown reversible.

This is so inspiring. That pink side. I love it!

I love the quilt on the design board behind you! I think you've just inspired me to make a summer dress! 😮 I don't normally even wear dresses but I love the block squares idea. Xx

This IS exciting, I’m so happy for your joy!!! I get like that when I’m working on a new crochet project, can’t wait to wake up in the morning and get back to it! I’m so looking forward to seeing what blossoms from your ideas, thank you for sharing, and God bless 💕😊

The oppressive heat here has given me a great case of Finish-itis while I stay inside .

Hello Kate, you look very well and seem to have your energy back! I'm very glad for you. The fabrics are beautiful. I can't wait to see the project complete. Thank you so much for this video. Have a wonderful day.

loved watching this again after part 2

Fantasic designs and colours the dressing gown be fab.

The fabrics, especially the pinks, are delish! I am looking forward to watching the construction of your dressing gown. I feel that your new format has been beneficial for you. You look rested! ❤

Love the fabric and I am looking forward to seeing your new dressing gown

Oh wow, so happy to see you on my Sunday evening. Love everything you do Kate xx

In just a few short months, that warm housecoat will be much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing it finished. I appreciate you sharing your thought process in making decisions. Very helpful!!

I have been binge-watching your videos for at least 2 weeks 😊. I love everything you do! You are such an amazing woman and extremely inspiring! So happy to see you today. My best to you 🤗🩷

Double layers seem hot in July but, by the time this project is complete there will be an autumn chill in the air!

So very inspirering. Thanks Kate. Gives me ideas.

I would want pockets on both sides along with a sash. My mom made one like this when I was a teen. It was very nice.

Hi Kate! Thank you for sharing this project with us. I am also in need of a new dressing gown, and maybe a housecoat too. Hmmm.....

Hello Katie from warm Fair Oaks, California in the US A I just love sitting and watching all your videos. You are such a beautiful soul and so crafty. Can’t wait to see your dress done. I love the idea of pockets.

Love your creative thinking. Thinking it through this way and that. Coming up with a game plan. It will be very cozy and bright. ❤

Thanks Kate

i love this idea i am stitching pieces of denim together to make myself a jacket but i do like this idea of the 10 inch squares of different fabrics yours will be beautiful

Poor Kate, you then have to decide every morning which side to wear. Both are so beautiful. I would be in a big conflict every time. 😂

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to see the finished dressing gown.

My fabric arrived! So excited. I’ve figured that I will sew the entire layout as one piece with an open front, like you show at 9:45. I am going to do patch pockets. Looking forward to seeing your progress, no hurry of course!

Just an idea or advice (as you want) for your pockets. Your challenge, cause you're gonna work with patchwork tissu to make your clothe, your challenge will be to match the pockets with one of the squares on the front of the clothe. Otherwise the pockets risk being shifted. I think that inside reversed pockets will be the best option. Think about it.

That block print fabric looks wonderful 💚

I was wondering if i could piece together fabric for a dressing gown…and this video pops in! Perfect
