I can’t believe it’s this time again already! October is here and so excited to announce this year’s Sew Scary event to celebrate all things Halloween.
Here’s what you can expect for the month of October from BeeZeeArt!
2023 Clearance!
There’s a good number of plushies from last year still haunting my house, perhaps you can help them find a home?
Halloween themed plushies from 2023 are discounted 30% to clear the way for the new spooky critters coming to the store.
You can check those all out here: https://www.beezeeart.com/collections/halloween-2023
Daily Plush Releases!
In previous years, I released a new daily bat design. However, interest in last year’s bats wasn’t as high as in previous years so I’m switching things up a bit. Instead of a daily bat release, I’ll have a daily plush release of all types of Halloween themed plushies so those who aren’t interested in bats may find something they like a little better..
Previews of the plushies will go live at 1pm on Facebook and Instagram and plushies will be available for sale at 2pm. They are first come first serve and there are no cart holds or reservations. There’s no way of knowing how fast they will sell out, so be prepared right at 2pm EDT if you have your heart set on a particular plush.
All the plushies for this year can be found here: https://www.beezeeart.com/collections/sew-scary-2024
Freebies!
Every physical order will come with some little extra goodies in the package.
Don’t forget the free fresno nightcrawler pattern. This cute little cryptid pattern is always available, but there’s no better time than now to make one of your own!
There may also be a few more freebie drops happening over the month of October so keep your eyes peeled.

Trick AND Treat Giveaway!
What is the trick and treat giveaway? Well, it’s very simple. You can enter to win a special treat! In this case, a large Halloween bat. Covered in glitter. That’s the trick!
(The glitter is biodegradable and made from plant cellulose. So even though it will haunt you forever, it won’t haunt the planet with microplastics.)

This bat is one of my large size bats. The wings and ears have low loft quilt batting inside them to give them a bit of thickness and a warm, snuggly feel. It’s the perfect bat to cozy up to as the weather gets colder. There’s also a spooky skeleton hand charm at its neck.
The giveaway will be held on Instagram and the post will go live October 1st and entries will be cut off on Friday the 11th at midnight! To enter, like the post and comment with your favorite scary monster. I’ve personally always been a huge fan of vampires, especially the classic scary movie kinds. You must be following me to win. Optionally, tag a friend and share the post.
The value of the bat is $120. Giveaway includes shipping, but not customs charges or fees. You must be 18 years or older. Winner must be willing to provide a full name and address for shipping. The winner will be chosen via random comment picker and contacted via DM. Winner must respond within 7 days with their shipping information or forfeit their prize. ONLY the account @BeeZeeArt will contact you and ONLY after the giveaway has closed. Any other account attempting to contact you saying you have won is a scam. Please pay attention and don’t fall for these scams! I report them as they pop up, but Instagram takes awhile to remove them.
Giveaway is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or otherwise affiliated with Instagram or any other company.
FAQ
How do I purchase a Halloween plush?
Visit my store at 2pm EDT, refresh until you see the plush in the store, add it to your cart, and fully complete checkout. There are cart holds and I don’t do reservations.
I don’t want any freebies sent with my order!
No problem. If you aren’t into that sort of thing and want the least amount of packaging possible, send me an email when you order and I’ll exclude any extras for you.
I wasn’t able to complete the checkout, but I was still charged!
If checkout fails for any reason (info doesn’t match, product sold out, interrupted connection, etc) the payment will not be captured, but a hold may remain. In most cases, this is displayed as a pending charge and the authorization hold will go away within a few days. You can contact your bank to verify the charge wasn’t completed and see if they can clear it sooner.
I visited your page right on time, but I didn't see the daily plush!
If the plush doesn’t show up for you, you may need to do a hard refresh of the page or clear your cache. Your browser may be displaying an older version of the site to speed up loading times. You can also try searching in the search bar for “Sew Scary” to find it manually.
Will you make X plush again?
Maybe? Some plushies may be recreated in the future, but some are made with limited fabrics or accessories and can’t be made again.
If I win the giveaway can I request it be sent without glitter?
Nope! The glitter is part of the fun (and horror) of the giveaway. And it’s already on the bat. If you don’t want to be glitter bombed, I don’t recommend entering.
Glitter is horrible for the environment!
The glitter I use is plant based. It’s made from cellulose and it is biodegradable. It has been independently lab tested to certify it is ASTM D6400 compliant. This means it has been tested and proven to fully decompose at a rate comparable to known compostable materials when composted in a municipal and industrial composting facility. Further, when composted it does not diminish the value or utility of the compost that results. (It is also certified to meet ISO 14855 standards, tested free of heavy metal content, safe for the skin, and made in the USA)
Why is the giveaway only on Instagram? I don’t have Instagram!
Instagram is my largest following and highest engagement so that’s where I generally choose to hold giveaways. In the past using apps or posting on multiple social media pages didn’t go well so this is the current solution to still offer giveaways in a way that is sustainable for me. You can always create a throw away IG to enter with, I don’t check how active you are, just that you meet the giveaway rules.
