This badge bit (BB) is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in
textiles.
In this project, you will make a housecoat or dressing gown with pockets. It's a garment that usually goes over other clothes, like your pajamas, underwear, or even day-to-day clothes. This is a garment designed to protect clothes and keep you warm at home. It's like a bathrobe, but not made out of towel/terry cloth (there is a separate
badge bit for bathrobes here)
For more examples and information about housecoats and dressing gowns, take a look at this permies thread
Housecoat and dressing gowns.
