Hello, friends!

The long-awaited Washi update is here! I'm beyond thrilled to announce that our beloved Washi dress & top sewing pattern is now available in our extended size range, and with new bodice pieces for fuller busts. Our extended size range includes eleven sizes (xxs-xl & plus sizes 1-5). We've also updated the instructions to make them even better and give them a fresh new look.

To celebrate the new Washi, we are combining the launch with a site-wide PDF pattern sale! 

From now until the end of May, use the newsletter-exclusive coupon code WASHI20 at checkout to take 20% off all PDF patterns in my pattern shop. 

Washi features a cut-out scoop neckline, cap sleeves, pockets, and shirring in the back for an easy, comfortable fit. One of the best things about this pattern is that no zippers or closures are needed! The pattern can also be made with a basic scoop neckline, sleeveless, and in two lengths (top or dress) to achieve a large number of different looks.

This newly updated Washi pattern is currently available as a PDF download.

FAQ

what if I already purchased it? 

If you purchased the Washi PDF pattern from our shop in the past, you'll automatically get access to the new sizes. We've sent out an email with an updated link (check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox!), or by using the original download link that was sent to you at the time of purchase.

If you purchased the pattern from my shop and didn't receive an automatic update, please fill out our handy request form.
 

what about the print pattern?

 This is a PDF-only update. We hope to put the new sizes into print soon! 

If you purchased the print pattern and want the new PDF update, please consider purchasing it through my shop so that you have access to it and all future updates. If that’s not possible for you (those of you in a financial crunch, those who bought the print pattern but never fit into it - I see you), you can put in a request through our request form. 

how is the update different from the original?

I wrote a super-detailed blog post about the new size range, new bodice pieces, and all of the other ways this version differs from the original pattern. Read it here!

does it include copyshop files? metric? 

Yes (A0 and 36" wide) and yes, metric!

Washi was my very first women's pattern and its design has stood the test of time. I hope you love this updated version as much as I do; we've been working so very hard on it. I'm especially happy that the new pattern pieces will allow so many more people to sew beautiful versions of this pattern for years to come. 

Happy sewing!

Rae
