I’ve been living in my Washi Tunics for a few months now. I love that I have a range of tops I can throw on that will make me feel great even when I’m feeling my yuckiest. I’ve been getting away with wearing those and jeans to church for far too long. Valentine’s day at...
It has been busy busy here lately! I have been working my booty off with my day job, trying to earn enough income to cover baby related expenses (which holy cow, there are a ton of!), and in the bits of time in between I’ve been juggling sleep, keeping the house just orderly enough to...
I told you it wouldn’t be long before I made more of Anna Maria’s Pleasant Pathways Shorts. I had to make these longer, and I’m in love with the result. After adjusting the pattern to add 2.5″ length, I used only the main shorts pattern pieces to cut a main fabric (the chambray) and the...
I love Liberty of London. I love Alexia Abegg’s Michelle, My Belle dress too! I think that’s why after making one with Liberty, its difficult for me to think of combining the pattern with another fabric.

You look adorable!! Can’t believe that is a 3rd tri bump, I was such a blimp by then, haha. The dress turned out awesome, and you and your bump look fabulous in it!
Thank you!!
Love your washi- so pretty:)))
Thank you!
Very cute! I lived it Washi Dresses through my pregnancy. I made 3 with a wider skirt and bigger pleats so it got with the bodice. So comfortable.
*so it fit with the bodice. Oops
That’s a good idea. I may add length to the front skirt on my next one since I know the bump will grow and pull the front up a bit.
That is the prettiest washi I’ve seen! Well done!
