Helium x Life on Mars

This is something I have been wanting to do for 7 years now. Wow. I can't believe it took that long to get around to making this outfit but now that it's done, not only was it worth the wait but, I sincerely couldn't imagine it any other way!

As she got older, she naturally gained new interests but Bowie and Man Man, and SHINee have always stayed at the forefront in her heart. She said she wanted to do Life on Mars for Easter and I told her how I was planning on doing a Helium (from Key's Bad Love album) x Life on Mars crossover. It was an obvious collaboration considering Key himself mentioned how this album was heavily influenced by his long-time admiration of David Bowie😱🤯This project is so important to me and to Sephira, as it’s that something I've been planning for almost a decade! I truly hope you enjoy hearing all about the process! HAPPY SHINee DAY!!!!

Sew Chibi Easter 2022

This year marks my 10th year blogging at Sew Chibi Designs!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I don’t think I could have ever imagined all the things I would create, the friendships I would make, and the way I developed my not only my sewing skills but my photography, photo editing, pattern drafting, graphics making, sewing tutorial e-booking from non-existent to things I’m really proud of!!!

I already went into major detail about both Azriella’s outfit and Sephira’s outfit, so, for this post, I’m going to focus on Akira’s outfit and the group shots I got of them at the Rose Garden.

🌟Saturday Night Wizards!🪅🪄

HAPPY SHINee DAY!!!!! Today is the 14th anniversary of the group's stage debut and I have something really special to share with you!!!

After watching the Groks from the Keyland concert, we all went completely😍over the pink, plaid outfits Key and the dancers wore for his latest song "Saturday Night"… and then he did the same look in lime green for his Music Core stage! Both of my older girls are totally into the crop tops and plaid skirts or high-waisted pants look, and they loved the mix-matched dancers' outfits.

Soon after its release, the holidays were coming up and it was soon time to pick our theme for the year and they were torn between Harry Potter and Saturday Night. I mentioned that the two could easily be blended together in an epic mash-up and both of the girls were super excited!! For Akira’s outfit, I went a different direction and made her a doe Patronus, pulling inspiration from an earlier Key video/song, called Forever Yours. I named her outfit, "Forever Your Patronus."

🎸⚡The BEST EVER Mini Ziggy Stardust You'll Ever See!⚡🕷

WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'ME!

I've made a lot of super fun, ultra rad, kickass stuff in my sewing lifetime... but this, THIS, is at the top of the list for me!!! Nothing could inspire me more to put on a good show than the starman himself, David Bowie. Yesterday marked the first anniversary of his death and so I have been planning a grandiose ZIGGY STARDUST homage for the past year! My muse is one of the biggest little Bowie fans out there so I made a commitment to myself and to her to make her a capsule wardrobe of iconic Bowie outfits!

Sound + Vision cosplay

Sound and Vision is by far my favorite David Bowie song. If you're unfamiliar with it, the lyrics are basically: "Blue, Blue, electric blue, that's the color of my room where I will live..." I've always loved it because just the thought of having this ultra bright, blue room where I could just sit in it, and be blissfully silent, bursting with creative visions, excites me...and calms me all at the same time. It speaks to my core as an artist and fills me up. I could listen to it aaaaallll day long! And I knew straight away that had to realize it into a dress for me.
