Another vintage gift idea -- a bedjacket or wrap to make from a square of material. This is an advertisement for the pattern, but I don't see why you'd need one! Fleece or a heavy sweater-knit fabric would have the necessary drape and "give" for this wrap.

I love it. I would so totally wear that while watching teevee or reading.
in albatross or in heavy silk crepe?
I'll definitely be making this one
to wear in my frigid office.
I think a soft, warm fleece for me!
Snyone know what 'albatross' is, anyway? Besides whot hung 'round the Ancient Mariner's neck?
I don't know what albatross is, although I suspect it's white, so I'll choose the silk.

Here's what i found on Albatross cloth -
Albatross A Lightweight, Plain Weave Fabric Traditionally Of Wool Or Wool Blends With A Napped, Fleecy Surface . So Named Because The Texture Resembles The Breast Of An Albatross. Usually Light In Color- Used In Infant's Wear , Sleep Wear.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Nancy...that sounds like it would be perfect except that I'll bet it had to be hand washed. Synthetic fabrics have spoiled me.
I did link to this post on my blog, when I get the shrug made, I'll send you a pic. If you mind, let me know and I'll remove the link.
