Li’l Fashionista Boo

July 22, 2010 by Ashley Hackshaw

Stephanie Corfee drew up this “lil fashionista” illustration of a slightly older Boo for my new business card! I love everything about it…..the hair, the Lil Blue Boo dress, the mismatched socks….she nailed it! But it gets better…..

…..I’m working out the details now for custom dresses from her illustrations….so if you order a “lil fashionista” portrait from her sho p you will soon be able to place custom orders for a dress with your own original print like the one shown below that I made for Boo. So stay tuned for details!

Our last collaboration was so much fun…..it is still running! Here are a few dresses I made this week with the “When I Grow Up Print” and mixing various knits and linens:

That’s it for tonight! I’m trying to get over a cold and I’m of to bed early. Hope you all are working hard on your entries for the Great Ugly Knit Upcycle! I’ve received some great entries so far…but you still have time to enter!
