McShane's Sundress...with Sleeves

Never mind the title. I'm about halfway done with the Friar Dave robe...I have the hood to attach still, the neckline and bottom to hem, and the tabard to work on. I'm thinking of going a little rugged with the tabard to make it look well worn and leaving the edges raw, but I'm afraid that cotton would fray itself into a ball of string by the end of the day.

I was worried about the height...what you can't see in this picture is that the bottom of the robe is resting on the floor and that I'm extending my arms up over my head to hold it! I think it will be okay.



Note also the Daily Show on the TV in the background...Man do I love some John Stewart for keeping me sane when I'm up sewing at this hour...
