New to Lil Blue Boo

New to Lil Blue Boo! Silk screened shorts! These were made out of necessity....Boo wears dresses 99% of the time but she also wears shorts underneath for the hot slide at school! No one wants a burnt bum! I couldn't find a yoga style short I liked so I decided I needed to design my own:


I made her wear a tank top so I could get a photo of them (Graffiti shoes look familiar?)


I love mixing and matching them all!


I've also been working on perfecting a new sleeve style.....an extra large fluttery sleeve. Sienna thinks they look like elephant ears (maybe because we just a got an elephant shaped baby pool for her to play in).....so that's what we named them!






I turned 33 this week! Here I am at 3 years old....same age as Boo now....sporting vintage flutter sleeves.

    Looking forward to a pattern for the shorts. They look incredibly comfy and stylish. Just started with my first Lil Blue Boo pattern and am officially hooked. You do a great job inspiring others to be creative. Thank you.
