we have all been big fans of Made by Rae‘s washi dress pattern since it first came out in pdf form. when it became available in paper form, of course we had to have it… and coming up next month, i’ll be teaching our first washi dress (or tunic) class!
yesterday i finished up our store sample washi tunic (made with Jeni Baker‘s Color Me Retro for Art Gallery Fabrics), and i thought it would be fun to put together a round-up of washi inspiration. click on the links below the photos for more info about any of these fabulous garments!
it seems fitting to start with a washi from Jeni herself….
washi dress by Jeni / In Color Order
washi dress by Stephanie / The Crafty Kitty
washi dress by Jane / Buzzmills
washi tunic by Erin / Hungie Gungie
washi dress by Rae (the original) / Made by Rae
washi dress by Frances / Miss Matatabi
our first washi dress (or tunic) class will meet on wednesday evenings, march 13 and 20 from 6:00-8:30 pm. class registration is $99 (pattern included) plus materials. pre-requisite: intermediate sewist or confident beginner with some garment experience. as of the posting date, we still have a few spaces available! please call at 513.321.1600 if you are interested.
ready to give it a go on your own? washi patterns are available in the shop for $16.00!
and coming soon… a sewn shirring tutorial. you really can do it! easy peasy.
xo, rachael
