If you’ve ever thought to yourself, Gee, I’d really like a hooded flannel nightgown, but I’m worried it will look like a wizard costume–your concerns are well founded. It probably didn’t help that my base garment came from a 70s dashiki dress pattern, or that I used a blue novelty flannel. I tried to counteract the wizard effect by adding a kangaroo pocket to make it look like a hoodie instead of a wizard cloak. But now I just look like a wizard who’s keepin’ it fresh. Maybe I’ll try that Simplicity pattern…..
On the upside, tonight I had a brainwave: Rustoleum High Heat spray paint!
Huh? you ask. For my dye roasters, dummy! The acid in the acid dyeing quickly eats away the surface of the inserts, so I have to scour them well before each use to get rid of any rust. I was scrubbing one out tonight, when I suddenly realized: grill paint! I never use it hotter than about 350°, and the paint’s rated for 1200°, and it’s not like I’m going to eat off it, so it’s perfect. Yay.
Almost makes up for this idiotic nightgown.
See, I’ve often thought you should turn Harveyville into a sort of cult. Perhaps you should just make a whole bunch of those robes and everyone who visits has to wear them, like a really cosy religious sect.
Picture!
Dude, I don’t know if I have that level of self-esteem… It’s pretty fracking awful. As horrendous as it is, it’s damn cozy.
