Another Kids Clothes Week is in progress and even though I didn't make any plans to participate this time around, I found myself sewing for the kiddos. One project was for K but ended up being too big on her so I am the proud new owner of a Briar top. Pictures and details to come when I find some time (and a photographer). I've also been slowly working on a trench coat for MG. BK wasn't left out...she got herself a new long sleeve top. Can you guess what pattern it is?
Sure enough...it's a Bimaa Sweater! Sarah of LouBeeClothing has expanded the size range from 6/12 months all the way to 12 years. And it's the Crafterhours Friday Fiver so from 10 am EST today to 10 am EST Saturday you can purchase the pattern for $5 with the code FRIDAY5.

pattern: Bimaa Sweater from LouBeeClothing
size: 10
fabrics: cotton/lycra knits
*I was a pattern tester of the expanded sizes so I received the pattern for free. All opinions are as always my own!
BK's chest measurement puts her is a size 8 but since the Bimaa is meant to be slim fitting I went up to the size 10. BK prefers a little more ease in her clothes.;) For reference, she now wears a 10/12 (for shirts) in RTW.

perfect amount of ease, not too tight and not too loose
The Bimaa Sweater pattern has more options than the cowl. It also has a shawl collar and a hood. I really like the way the hooded version looks. I'm thinking of giving up my precious wool/nylon knit fabric I've been hoarding so that I can make MG one to wear for Girls on the Run practice. It would be perfect for running in cool weather. But that cowl...there's no denying that it's super cute!
