How Does it Sew?! :: The Washi Dress

Since I began sewing a few years ago, patterns scurrrrred me. It wasn't until I began my job at the locally owned fabric store that I work at that I was able to get up enough courage to sew something from a pattern.

SO, this Summer I have deemed the Summer of sewing patterns!
And guess what? I have some fun giveaways (with designers!!), guest posts, and other cool stuff lined up all about sewing patterns!

Are you joining us for the Sew-Along? I really hope you are!

So, I suppose I've been living under a rock for my whole blogging life, but I just came across Rae's blog, Made By Rae.

A couple of Saturdays ago, David was out of town.
I got home from work, stumbled upon Rae's blog, bought the Washi Dress pattern, sewed it up, and wore it to church the next day.
BOOM.
Possibly one of my MOST FAVORITE dresses to date!
