I hope you've enjoyed this round-up as much as I've enjoyed assembling it! Leave a comment with your plans for Halloween this year... What are you working on?!

Much love,

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!

Meet Ellen! & a Halloween Powwow

Happy Friday!  Woot! May I please introduce you to my new lady friend, Ellen:

Isn't she a dear?!  I found her on Craigslist!  And I named her after the adorable lady with whom she lived previously.  She isn't quite as endowed in the northern region as I am, so she's wearing a stuffed bra.  Which is so, so weird.  I'll get over it. :)

And she's modeling a new shirt that's going to be featured as a guest post project on another blog!  Stay tuned for that!

So now, down to business.  Halloween!

I want to whip up something for Emmy, but I am seriously running out of time!  Yall want to help me pick what to make?  Check out these costume ideas that I'm loving:

Mermaid costume!  Unfortunately, It's def going to be too cold for this unless I make it long-sleeved.  Meh... Maybe.  It's so cute though!

That shell!  I love it so much.

Now this next one is the MAJOR front runner!

Little sheep!!!

Could you just keel over from the cute?!!  Plus this little munchkin looks about Emmys size, so I know it would be comparably adorable.  I think I would just purchase the black tee, already have black leggings, and use this pattern (below) that I already have to make the sheep body, sans sleeves and pocket!:







Seriously, so cute.  And how fun would it be to fill a cart at Michael's with bags of big ol' pompoms?  Answer - wicked fun.  :D

Candy Corn costume!!!  This one is just so sweet, and I know for sure that it would whip up in like, one evening.  One evening plus wine.  Now that's an easy project.

I love the matching hat and bag!  I think I could make a long sleeved version with my go-to dress pattern, the Charlotte Dress from Mama Stellato.  Totally doable!  I'd have to source out orange tights though...  Hm.


Owl costume!!  This one is as insanely cute, but I do not harbor the required patience it would take to make it.  Not this year anyway, I'm already running late!

So what do you guys think?!  Do you love the sheep one as much as I do??
Are you making any costumes this year?


Holler attcha boo!
