Saturday LBB Gallery Share – Fall Fabrics

by

I took a day trip to L.A. last week to pick up some fall fabrics…so inspired by all these prints…..now I just need more time to sew:


The second I got home from the long drive I knew exactly what I wanted to make first. A 3/4-sleeve fall tunic inspired by Alexander McQueen’s butterfly dresses (after watching some Rachel Zoe this week):


And a mix-matched “Mint Monet” asymmetric dress:

Of course I picked up a few random finds in L.A……some wool yarn for a new custom doll by AppleTreeHouse:


Lots of buttons……no plans for them yet….they just looked so pretty. I’ve already admitted that I have a fabric/craft shopping disorder:

I just finished and listed these limited edition fall “Calico Pony” silk screened dresses. There are just a few random sizes left in the shop right now:

Some new fan photos!

I just LOVE this one of the new Lil “Bleu” Boo collection pieces. How cute is Miss Sydney in her beret and glasses! There are just a few smaller sizes left of this:

I’m 100% positive that Harrison is already some breaking hearts……he’s so adorable in his corduroy blazer and a Lil Blue Boo upcycled hat! I’m not even going to show Boo this photo….she’ll have her first crush!

Upcycled Bohemian

by

As soon as I saw this bottom print on a dress at the thrift store I knew I had to have it to pair with Stephanie’s “I Grow Up” print….and who better to model it than Grace! An elephant ear dress with an empire waist….upcycled from thrift store finds: a dress, 2 polo shirts and some silk screened and tie dyed yardage. Eclectic, one-of-a-kind, bohemian…and totally green. Stunning photos by Monika McSweeney Photography. Enjoy!









Infinite thanks to Monika and Grace for such beautiful photos!

Stephanie Corfee for Lil Blue Boo!

by

Here are some sneak peeks of a brand new Lil Blue Boo collaboration with artist Stephanie Corfee! Stephanie emailed me a few weeks ago out of the blue and the second I saw her artwork I was hooked. Stephanie’s blog title describes her work perfectly: vibrant, bohemian, intricate. Her detailed works are amazing!


After a few emails back and forth, all I could think about was how similar we were and that I wanted to work with her on something! I kept thinking about how great her work would look on fabric. When I asked Stephanie if she would be interested in a collaboration she said yes! She even had the perfect typography print that she had been working on……When I Grow Up:

The coloring for her print comes from another one of her original works: Baby Bohemia Stephanie writes more about her print on her blog.


I love the idea of giving a silk screened piece of clothing combined with the original art print for a gift!


The past week, I’ve been working on several different fabric and ink combos using Stephanie’s print…..


…..as well as incorporating some vintage linens.


Here are a few sneak peeks of the new mini collection:




I’m so excited to be working with Stephanie! We are already talking about the next project! Look for the “When I Grow Up” limited editions in my Lil Blue Boo shop starting tomorrow! As usual, new items will be added daily until the print is discontinued.
