I’ve been working on some spring silk screens for my clothing store. I put the question out there on Facebook and the overwhelming requests were citrus and ladybugs! So I did both. Here are some sneak peeks from a citrus photo shoot my friend Lisa and I did this morning at the park! Lady bug photo shoot to come soon! The “orange fairy” came just in time for some photo props too!
Here is how the dresses looked on the hanger:
Have I mentioned that EVERY little last scrap of t-shirts and knits gets upcycled?! Lil Blue Boo is trying to go to ZERO waste. Pieces that are too small for dress sleeves I send to my friend Shari for use in her adorable Soren Lorensen Design creations. Pieces that are too small for her? Those go to my friend Lisa of Ellebows and More for her new line of upcycled hair pieces to match my Lil Blue Boo dresses! They are so cute I can’t stand it….she leaves pieces of the seams, stitching etc. Each one is limited and unique! She’ll be adding more mis-matched pieces as she gets dress scraps…..so if you are looking for pieces to match your dresses there will probably be a delay before they show up in her shop. OR send her photos of your LBB dresses and see if she has some coordinating scraps to match a few of them! More products to come as well!
There have been a few recent improvements to LBB dresses too…..a more refined neckline and a hidden seam at the neck for those kiddos that might have sensory issues like my little one!
These are adorable! And what sweet little girls you have for models. I love the citrus as summer logo too, by the way. And major kudos to you for your zero waste goal. You are awesome! 🙂
I love these hair clips!!!!
Ashley, these are amazing. I want one with the blue fabric and orange citrus!!! For mia. Great great job. Also LOVE the hair clips. fab lisa!!!
How wonderful and what a great Idea with the hair clips! I used my scraps for hair clips as well in different mismatched scraps and same colors too! Very easy to make and they do look so cute with the dresses to match!The citrus looks so cute!
GASP. Ashley that sleeveless dress. oh my. wow.
Also just discovered Soren Lorenson (love that name btw) is that an LBB pattern? genius.
Ellebows, never ceases to amaze me with cuteness. Wish my girls would keep bows in their hair. Tomboys. sheesh.
I love the citrus! It is great for spring and summer!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these!!!! I might have to start stalking to try and get some for my girls!
these are so fun and fresh! I love them. I'm glad to hear how you use up all those scraps! 🙂
I love your designs! My little one loves to wear stuff I make but my sewing machine lost it's home to finishing the basement, so projects are on hold now. I'd love to win the t-shirt 🙂
Love the juicy citrus and the cutie models 🙂 Lisa, when will you get more hairclips in your shop? LOVE them 🙂 Ashley, keep on keeping it on, you're amazing!
Shari
These are amazing!
Great… I love the citrus. I always love what you do. I followed your blog on where to get fabric paints and my Dharma order arrived yesterday…yippee!
Yay – I'd love the Tshirt, since I don't have little girls to dress up!
Love them! And I love the blog makeover too! You are such an inspiration to me to be more creative, I am trying each day to do something creative with or for my kids. I too am a stay at home mom, who has learned recently to LOVE to sew, and I am collecting tees to make my girls some of your dresses for the summer. Kudos to you, and thanks for what you do! Incidentally, in my house, my husband is the artist, so he has always taken the lead when it comes to art, design, etc. I think he is enjoying seeing me be creative in a way he can't be. 🙂 So yay for that!
And of course, I love the lime t shirt!
I love all of your many crafts and tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
The hairbows are awesome accessories! And, by the way, every time I visit your blog, I want to buy a serger…or get easy and cheap access to one, anyway. 🙂 You're so inspiring!
