Getting pregnant was such a surprise to me. We had so longed for a baby for such a great length of time, that though the idea sounded magical, it also seemed out of reach. We were certainly past the point of getting our hopes up each month. So as I said, when we were finally...

Your Washis are so pretty! It is one of my favorite patterns out there– it sews up so quickly and is super comfortable! I want to get the expansion pack soon so I can try a Washi with sleeves.
You’ll have to stop back by and tell me what variations you do! I’m so excited to start on mine.
Super cute! I love the bright red, yellow, and blue one :)
Thanks!
these tops look great! i, too, am expecting; i’d love to make a few of these tops for myself. did you make any modifications to accommodate your growing belly? or is the pattern roomy enough as written?
thanks for any tips you can provide!

I found the pattern to be roomy enough. I did go up from where I was prepregnancy in the bust, just because I think the bust in the pattern is a bit small to begin with, and because I’ve grown there far more than I anticipated. I’m 21 weeks and have plenty of room both around and lengthwise. But if I get really big toward the end, I may grade the pattern up to the next size and add a little length to the bottom front to keep from flashing my baby gut. But as I said, currently the fit is great, and there is no worry of showing off too much.
Your Washis look amazing on you, I especially love the Liberty ones…shopping for maternity wear can be so frustrating- how great you can make things that make you feel good. Congratulations on your news!
Thank you!!
Love, love, love the tops! Hope you and your little apprentice are doing well. God bless.
Thank you! We are doing quite well!
They look awesome! And so do you! I’m pretty sure she is coming out with a new top that is also very maternity friendly too.
Oh! Awesome. Do you know what the pattern is called? Is it the one with the pleats on the front?
oh my gosh I love all of these so much!!! It’s making me want to sew more sleeveless Washi tops now. LOVE!!
Girl, they are so perfect for maternity! Thank you so much for this pattern!
