So it started with one top for Boo. The idea was a racer back muumuu …..floaty and lightweight for summer. I came across this fabric that reminded me of vintage Palm Springs resort style (or cushions on an episode of Mad Men) and combined it with some of my own silk screens…I dig it. I even managed to get a few good photos this morning at the park despite her being tired and grumpy. I love this style so much.

Lil Blue Boo Lady Bugs!
Check out the adorable Izzy modeling my new Lil Blue Boo lady bug silk screens (and racer back style!) New one-of-a-kind upcycled knit dresses to start showing up daily in my Etsy shop using these ladybug and citrus prints until I run out (check the LBB Facebook page for listings)! Thank you Olivia for the breathtaking photos!
Lil Blue Boo Citrus (and ZERO waste!)
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!
