A Bimaa to Save the Day!


LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

What happens when a niece decides she doesn’t like the jeans sewn for her??

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

Involve her in the coordination of a top to go with it, of course.

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

And, since we KNEW she loved her sister’s Bimaa, we opted to sew EA her first Bimaa {size 4, with size 5 length }. *Note to selves: added length wasn’t necessary.

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

Her part was to select the fabric for the Bimaa. We raided our stash and gave her three options {that we didn’t think we’d go wrong with any of them….although some were more our ‘style’ than others}.

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

We thought we knew the one she would pick. True to form, the bold flowers were too much to pass up for this 4 year old! Thank you, Project Run and Play and Low Price Fabrics for this number!!

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

She’s IN. LOVE.

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

Absolutely GIDDY!

*Please note: When a “snarl smile” appears, it is a REALLY GOOD THING in someone’s eyes…

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

It was perfect for hunting wolves, bears, and even snakes {in trees, mind you!}. Doesn’t someone look FIERCE?!?!?

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

Bravery is in the eyes of the beholder, and the one with the “big stick!”

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

Or, a “flashlight” {aka: a pine branch}…

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

And, when an aunt howls like the wolves….well, it’s all over!!

LouBeeClothing, Bimaa

No need to worry about her wearing her jeans any more!! Thankfully too, because these are to be a “staple” for her winter wardrobe….

The top and the niece are both gorgeous! I think the upsized bimaa add-on is going to be my first purchase of the new year. My 8 year old has already outgrown the one I made this fall, and it is her favorite top. I hope it will have the same magic power to make her love her jeans, too!

    Thanks for mentioning the ADD ON to the pattern….we discussed putting it in the post, and then completely forgot to do so! Let us know if the Bimaa has the same effect for your 8 year old…. EA is smitten with her outfit {including her jeans} now!!

    HA!!! THANKS! We are already slighting “Baby LG” too much as is….. and, our creativity lags in comparison to yours!! Our clothes would be too boring for your trendy kiddos…

    Yes, yes, yes!! We are so glad that Carrie mentioned the add on…. We thought of it, and then completely forgot about it before publishing the post…

We’ve only made one Bimaa so far too, but love it! Well actually, I used the cowl from the largest size Bimaa to add on to the neckline of one of my shirts…
Love her fabric choice and your work as usual!

    Thanks, Audrey!! It’s such a fun pattern….and one that is hard to resist in the fall/winter months.

She is SO CUTE! This top looks like it fits her personality! I’m really impressed with the jeans… those look really professional.

    Thanks, Charity! The “jeans” were BASIC….we aren’t talking the Small Fry Skinny Jeans or anything as detailed as that. Still, it gives the effect of “real jeans” {or so we’d like to think}.

    “Go BOLD, or Go HOME!” We have a feeling more bright colors are in our sewing future with this one…
