If your husband or grandpa loves to relax and pamper himself, then this Men’s Spa Robe is the perfect gift for him. This gorgeous design is for a light to mid-weight fabric, and we recommend using cotton velour to create a luxurious spa robe. A waffle or honeycomb texture in a mid-weight will give it a more trendy look. Even a fleece will work for the perfect winter gift.

We made ours in a lightweight velour which gave it a lot of drape. The robe features a faux lapel, top pockets, and tie belt. It requires just under 4 yards of fabric.

Men's Button-Down Dress Shirt, Advanced Level (Video Tutorial)

For the more advanced and ambitious sewers out there, this Men’s Button-Down Dress Shirt is a high-quality, handsome gift that your husband or grandpa will love.

It’s a medium to heavy-weight design with flap pockets, button sleeve cuffs, button-down placket, and pleated back shoulders. Generally, this shirt takes several days to complete, but it’s worth it.

Notions required are 13 buttons,11mm, and medium weight woven fusible interfacing.

We have a tutorial on this for the cuffs.
