Guoba has the power to create fire, which is apparently a manifestation of his inability to handle spicy foods despite his fondness for them. A symbol resembling a combination of a Geo and Pyro symbol can be seen on his back. Guoba takes the form of a bipedal, orange panda-like creature. He also enjoys eating plenty of tasty food. He accompanies Xiangling in her journeys, although he typically helps her by keeping her spirits up, locating ingredients and providing a fire when needed. While incapable of speech, Guoba is capable of remembering what was familiar to him as the former deity Marchosius, such as his former adepti friends. Unbeknownst to her, she had found one of Liyue's ancient gods. She named him Guoba ( scorched rice), after her favorite childhood snack. Undeterred, Xiangling gave him some more food, and he thereafter began following her around. By the time she woke up, she found a strange creature instead - and he had eaten her cornbread. The girl, tired from her journey, fell asleep after snacking on a piece of Chili-Mince Cornbread Bun she left the rest of the cornbread on the offering table, intending to eat it later. One day, Xiangling stumbled upon a mysterious shrine while searching for Violetgrass. He slept for several centuries, and over time the people of Liyue merged the legends of the God of the Stove into that of Morax's. Leaving Morax and Madame Ping with his recipes and secrets of the flame, he retired to the mountains and fell into a deep slumber with both his physical body and intellect greatly reduced. Marchosius and the adepti accompanied Morax and their people to what is now Liyue Harbor.Ĭenturies later, Marchosius would sacrifice his power to save Liyue from calamities and plagues. Around 3700 years ago, in the midst of the Archon War, the Guili Assembly was destroyed by a battle that resulted in a massive flood. This post has been linked up with Finish It Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts and Show Off Saturday at Sew Can She.The god Marchosius was one of the gods who helped the Guili Assembly flourish thousands of years ago. Not sure why, but I love it! Oh, and I also love the cap sleeves and of course, the pockets.įabric I Used: Rose Garden in Coral from the Fort Firefly Collection by Teagan White for Birch Fabric, 100% organic cotton, quilting weight woven fabricĬheck out other peoples versions at the Washi Dress Flickr Pool and Rae Made Me Do It Flickr PoolĪnd if I left anything out, messed anything up, or if you have any suggestions please let me know! Thanks so much for checking it out. What My Favorite Aspect Was: The smocking on the back. What I Was Glad I Did: Lining the bodice using a very light weight, 100% cotton muslin instead of using facing. On this particular version, I was pretty impatient and just wanted to get it done.mostly because I was supposed to be doing something else! Anyway, after looking at the photos I realized I need to make the darts shorter, meaning they need to end more on the side of my boob instead of toward the top (makes it a little pointy). What I Would Modify On The Second Round: I will most likely mess with the darts a bit again. You can also make a number of modification to the pattern with the many tutorials that Rae has on her site as well as the Washi Expansion Pack that she recently released.Ī Second Washi: Yes, I will definitely be making another. ![]() ![]() ![]() The dress or top can be dressed up or down and is a forgiving and comfortable fit. I think the construction is nice, and it goes together easily. Overall: I would highly recommend the pattern, from beginners to advance sewers. Perhaps I will add some new photos when it is not freezing outside to get some better shots! Plus, my photographer did not want to get off of the couch, so the camera angle in not ideal. So, I will include some photos of me in the dress but go easy on me. I feel it helps me to get a better idea of what it will look like on me. When I am looking at pattern reviews or pictures of other peoples versions, I really like to see when someone is actually wearing the piece of clothing. I am glad I did do the lining instead of the facing and I really do not think it was any more work than the facing. I just don't like how you can see the outline of facing under certain fabric. The one modification I did make was that I did not do facing as the pattern called for, I used Rae's tutorial for lining the bodice. I did not make any modifications to the size small, I just cut and sewed it as is. It did not take much time and I really liked the construction of the dress. First off, I have been wanting to try this pattern forever! I finally bought it a few months ago and then made it right after Christmas.
