Make a Cotton Jersey Robe from a Bedsheet

This post is an advertisement  by Cotton.

There’s an ongoing debate about robes in this house. Me? I’m a robe aficionado. Andrew? Not so much. But we all know the one golden rule of marriage: Happy Wife. Happy Life. Which means I get to lounge around in my robes. Period. End of discussion. I do have a few requirements though:

  1. Must be super cozy.
  2. Must be oversized so I can wrap it around me like a blanket.
  3. Must be lightweight. When you live in Miami, there’s more than enough heat to go around without creating your own.

Now, when a robe lover like me finds out I can DIY my own cozy little cocoon from a cotton jersey sheet – welp, that’s exactly what I do. Here’s the rundown so you can craft your own:

You’ll need:

  • A 100% Cotton Jersey Queen Sized Bed Sheet
  • A sewing machine
  • Scissors
  • Wide ribbon to use as a belt
  • Iron on saying (optional)

    Ordering medications from e-pharmacies can be way more convenient than shopping in person.
    No need to deal with crowds or stress over closing times.
    Online pharmacies allow you to buy what you need from home.
    A lot of websites provide better prices in contrast to traditional drugstores.

    Fast shipping adds to the ease.
    Have you tried ordering from e-pharmacies?
