/0 Comments/in , , /by

Artemis will be one of your newest loves… and it isn’t like anything we’ve ever put out before which makes it super special! Why don’t we just delve right into what Artemis is and why it’s so amazing!

Snuggle Up With Artemis For The Whole Family!

What makes Artemis special? Well, it’s a blanket. But not just ANY blanket. It’s a wearable hooded blanket with optional corner pockets for your hands! It also comes in 3 sizes… Small (toddler/small child), Medium (big kid), and large (adult)! Just think of all of the amazing fabric combinations you could use to make it even better!

One of my favorite things about it is how perfect it is for fall and winter. Want to go on a hayride through a pumpkin patch or a sleigh ride through a winter wonderland of lights? Bundle up and grab your Artemis to snuggle up in and you’ll be perfectly cozy for your trip.

It can also be great for summer! How? Well, use a terry fabric or a lightweight gauze and take it on a trip to the beach or water park!

Plus… we added some fun animal options for the hood if you don’t want it plain (like this)!

You can be a bear or a horse, which we, unfortunately, do not have pictures of, but… you can also be:

A bunny:

Or (my favorite) a unicorn!

These hood options are available in ALL the sizes, so never be afraid to let your inner child out and make yourself something fun!

We really think there’s something for everyone where Artemis is concerned. And just like always, we’re having a release sale! So, from now until December 7th, 2019, You can get your copy of the Artemis pattern for only $5! They’d make GREAT gifts! When you make your own, we’d LOVE for you to share them all in our Facebook group! They’re too cute NOT to, right? And they’re so quick and easy to make! We can’t wait to see them! 

Fall In Love With The Little Love! New Release!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

What? Another new release? Yes, it is! It goes live today, along with Adella kids, adults, and bundle! And you’re really going to love our Little Love! The first in our infant line! Let’s take a peek at what all it has to offer!

Fall In Love With The Little Love! New Release!

When our fearless leader added a new bundle to her family, we were all lucky enough to benefit too… in the form of the beginning of some truly exceptional baby patterns! The Little Love is the first in a (hopefully long) line of the cutest baby things you could ever want with the phenomenal quality you know and trust with the Bella Sunshine name!

Options for all!

The first thing to take notice of is the size range. Little Love is available in sizes preemie through 24 months, making it one you will use again and again. For your own babies, baby showers, holidays… It’s likely to become a staple in any pattern library. Aside from that, all of the options have the lap-neck opening for ease of putting on and removing the bodysuit, as well as a snap crotch to keep everything where it belongs.

It also comes with three different sleeve options. Sleeveless, short sleeves, or long sleeves, which make it work no matter what season or climate you happen to be in! Just look at all of the adorableness! (Just make sure you notice the sleeves too! haha)

Another option you might like is the chest pocket. It’s teeny, but functional, not that I’d know what to put in it! Regardless, it adds a little something to the style to make the bodysuit just a little cuter, don’t you think?

And then there’s maybe my favorite option of all! The skirted bodysuit version! Yes, it’s a little more complicated of a sew, but you can’t argue with the cute factor! And since it’s a circle skirt, there’s no gathering necessary! Just look at all of these gorgeous one-piece baby dresses!

Little Love is also on sale! You can get if for only $5.50 through 11/02/2019! It’s a great deal, so jump on it while you can!

As always, we would LOVE to see all of your sewn up Little Loves! So hop on over to our Facebook group and share away! We can also help you out if you get stuck, so please, take advantage of all of our knowledge!

Release day is always an exciting day here at Bella Sunshine and today is no exception! I’m extremely proud and delighted to introduce you to Adella! It’s releasing on the main website TOMORROW!

Adella Is Coming At You! New Release!

I’m SO excited about Adella! It’s a great pattern for all seasons (like many of our knit designs), but I REALLY want to make all of them for my fall and winter wardrobe! Shall we go over specifics?

Design

Adella’s most notable design element is the princess sleeves that grace both the front and back of this gorgeous piece. I also adore the flared/swing bottom. It’s one of my personal favorites because of how flattering it can be! The combination between the princess seams and the swing makes it absolutely gorgeous on all body types. Just look!

It’s also super cute on the littles!

 

Options

If you know us at all, you know we LOVE our options and Adella is no different! We have three different lengths. Top:

Tunic:

 

And Dress!

We also have short sleeves:

3/4 sleeves:

Or long sleeves!

And our usual wide range of sizes. From 6 months all the way up to an adult 30! Did you see how great it looks through the full range?!

Did I hear the word sale???

We wouldn’t let you down like that, and you know it! In typical BSD fashion, Adella will be on sale From 10/25/2019 through 11/02/2019! You can get the adult sizes for $6.50, The child sizes for $5.50, or grab the whole bundle and have access to ALL the sizes for only $11.50!

Hazel is going to be the newest BSD craze! It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s beyond adorable! Wanna know more? Let’s go break it down and give you a proper introduction!

Meet Hazel! The Newest Must-Have Wardrobe Staple!

First, let’s talk about ease. Being a dolman style pattern, it’s not just easy to sew, but it is SO easy to wear! Hazel is extremely flattering on ALL body types! With 2 size ranges; kids sizes 6 months to 12 years and women’s sizes 0-30 (or get the bundle with the FULL range of sizes!); ANYONE can look and feel great in this! But don’t take my word for it, look at these tester pictures!

Next, I’ll point out one of Hazel’s more unique features, the drawstring sleeves. You can leave them loose or cinch them up for a cute ruched look! I especially love this look in the sleeveless version, but it also looks great with the short and 3/4 sleeve options. Look at these amazing sleeves!

Also, Hazel comes in 3 different lengths. Make it a top to go with your cute shorts or jeans. The tunic length is perfect for leggings or other pants/skirts. And the dress length will be a great option with a great pair of boots for fall, which is right around the corner! Really, just picture it in a great pumpkin or mustard color in the 3/4 sleeves. Fall perfection! Let’s see how some of these different lengths look, shall we?

 

As a final little surprise, the women’s version does come with one last little option that I know I love! 2 different necklines! You can have a higher or lower cut front neckline, which I know a lot of people appreciate! It’s always great to have options, right?

All in all, we’re really in love with Hazel and can’t WAIT to see all of the ones that get made! It’s on sale right now in our shop for just $5.50 in children’s sizes and $6.50 for adult sizes or get it ALL with the bundle for only $11.50! These prices are good through August 10th!

With all of these options, you can make a whole wardrobe of dresses and never make the same dress twice! A hi-low top with ruffles and a straight neckline. A straight hemmed maxi with a sweetheart neckline. A hi-low dress with a scoop neck and no ruffles… Just imagine all of the possibilities!

Ladies sizing (0-30) includes a full bust adjustment like all of our other ladies sizing.

Our kid models from the tests LOVED the comfort.
