For Christmas Eve this year, we decided on a Korean Hanbok theme! The girls got to pick the fabrics they wanted: elephants for Akira (of course); for Azriella, a beautiful African print from House of Mami Wata (I am in no way sponsored by them, but if you haven’t checked them out, you really need to… right now!), and for Sephira, now also known as ‘lil shawol’ because she’s a massive SHINee fan like her Mamma and Daddy, she picked a look inspired by Taemin’s recent Music Video: IDEA.

Sometimes, amazing patterns stay in the vaults for way too long. I drafted the first version of the Touka Sweater in October 2017 for Halloween sweaters for my kiddos. It quickly became my go-to pattern for sweater-making because it was so quick and so easy. I used it for almost every holiday at least once since then! I was constantly putting other newer patterns ahead of the Touka until a few months ago when I declared the time was neigh! I must turn the Touka Sweater I’d loved for so long into a real-life pattern!

It’s holiday time again! The theme was “A Very SHINee Xmas” and the girls each picked a look from one of their music videos for their outfit inspiration! This year we hadn’t gotten a real chance to take a lot of pictures so I only did a re-shoot with Sephira’s Flame of Love outfit since I had zero good ones of her! I plan on doing some more of Azriella’s Dream Girl outfit at some point if she’s up for it!
