New Sweater(s) in the Shop!

Hello, all!  Happy Monday!
I just wanted to show yall the newest addition to LouBeeClothing - the Bimaa Sweater! 'Bimaa' is Navajo for Vermont - fitting for this snuggly cowl neck sweater. 

This is a super gorgeous floral sweater knit - lighter weight, yet still warm.  This week I'll also be adding an animal print version of the Bimaa Sweater!  Look for it, it's awesome.  ;) Hit me up on Facebook for updates!    

Have a good day!

Cutest Halloween Costume EVARRRR.

If I do say so myself!

A stinkin' giraffe with a stinkin' denim vest!  :D

I am pretty proud of myself for having this costume already cut out and ready to sew.  If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know that I had this beast cut out in SEPTEMBER!  Huzzah!

It has one million pattern pieces, so I knew I needed to give myself plenty of time.  Not to mention I'm working with that crazy faux-fur business.  What a hot mess that makes.  I think it's going to be worth it though!  I am going to put lots of loving care into sewing this one up so that Emmy can wear if for dress up for a good long while.  :)

Here is the pattern, btw:

Simplicity 1766

I'll show it to you guys as soon as it's done!

In other news, I'm adding some awesome new items to LouBeeClothing in the next few days!

The first is this cowl-neck skinny sweater:

This green version was the final test run.  The 2 actual fabrics that this sweater will be offered in are freaking awesome - I can't wait until you see them!  I'm keeping it a surprise until then, though!  :)

Check the Shop, or follow me on Facebook to see the new items coming into the collection!

SO EXCITING!

This picture is so 'portrait studio'. I love it.

Cheers, yall!  I hope you're having a lovely October!

20 Interweb Points

Hello gang!   Happy Wednesday!
I created a quick 10 question survey, and I'd be forever indebted (in the form of 20 interweb points) to you if you'd fill it out.
If you don't sew for children, you can skip it because, well, that's what it's about!
SURVEY
Since before I opened the Shop, I've been having this internal struggle regarding making sewing patterns.  My heart says make the clothing, but my soul says make the patterns.  I'm torn - have been for months.  I sort of think I should just do both.  ;)
But anyway, here's the survey - I'm just looking for a little spiritual guidance via SurveyMonkey.  Lol.
Thank you so much guys!  I really appreciate your input!

Ni Hao!

But Not a Real Green Dress, That's Cruel!

Aka - One More Summer Dress, Please!
Hi everyone!  So since I've opened my Shop, and settled into the nerves of doing such, I've gotten back into sewing just for FUNZIES!  It's nice to cut yourself some slack every now and again, right? I wanted to make Emmy just one more summery dress before Summer officially ends!  And here she be... A delightfully minty, twirly summer dress:

Notice my daughter is suddenly 100 years older than she used to be.

This is the pattern I used - McCall's 6305.  It's a very easy pattern, nothing fiddly or fussy.  The thing about it though is that there's no closures of any kind, so it's kinda big!  Still cute though, and she can grow into it.  :)

I sewed the red-polka version, below.

McCall's 6305

The fabric I used is a stretch cotton gauze that I think I got a Joann.  Really great material to work with - I need to procure myself some more of that!  I lined the skirt part with a heavier poly/crepe type job for extra twirling capacity.  I love the final dress!  Super pretty, if I do say so ;)    

The back - you can sort of see the gauzy texture better here.

"CHEEEEEEEESE!"

Emmy has taken to modeling!  Huzzah!

Happy September, all!  I hope your Summers have been fantastic.  :)
