Hey there all! I just realized that I never actually posted about Sephira's 3rd Birthday outfit! The little miss requested that it look like Princess Caterina from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, one of her two favorite shows!
Read MoreOne of my very very best friends and fellow blogger, Sarah of EmmyLouBeeDoo, has literally just released her latest PDF pattern: {affiliate link} The Shandiin Tank and Tunic! So I decided to make a Star Wars version! Check it out!
Read MoreToday is such a special day! I was asked to be a part of the first ever Figgy's Blog Tour for Shelly's stellar (pun intended) Heavenly Winter Collection of patterns for 2013/2014!
I was outside of my skin when she asked me to test for it back in October... it literally made my night (which already awesome because it was Halloween ;-), but more on that later.
Shelly has lined up a rad-tastic group of bloggers to be a part of it, and I am kicking it off with a Valentine Collection!
Read MoreGreetings all! I hope your summer is going well! I was asked to be a part of a fantastic blog tour by { affiliate links} Adrianna of the Crafterhours girls and Hey June Patterns for her latest pattern: the Edelweiss dress. The pattern includes two options for styling: a dress or a tunic. I thought how fun would it be to do a tunic for a change! Seems like I'm always making dresses! Also, Adrianna is one of the funniest, sweetest people on the blogisphere and I heart her very much!
Read MoreSome of you probably don't know what the heck I am talking about! Well, Nyan Cat is a free smartphone game that is basically about an 8-bit pop-tart kitty cat, Nyan Cat, that travels through space eating all sorts of things from sweets to veggies to weird pills while running into obstacles like doggies, spaceships, and worse of all, Tac Nayn, an evil waffle kitty (which is Nyan cat spelled backwards). The game is really simple. Oh, did I mention that Nyan has a never ending trail of rainbows? Hooked. I had my inspiration for my dresses!
Read MoreThe Roly Poly Pinafore Tunic Sew Along! The reversible PDF Pattern by Imaginegnats was a blast to make, with it's pockets and versatility! We went with a Pokemon theme for ours, focusing on two Evee Pokemon: Espeon and Sylveon!
Read MoreSo when you start out blogging, it's a very singular thing. In the beginning it's pretty intimidating to be the new kid on the block. And, for me, I knew that I was definitely a little different from the others. That comes with its ups and its downs. But pretty much from the very beginning of Sew Chibi I gained a fast friend in Ari better known as Max-California. I was stoked to find another rainbow haired sewing mama out there! And the more I found out the cooler she became! We share a very similar creative philosophy which is to make fun things our kids will want to wear.
Our friendship really flourished when she went on to compete in PR&P and appointed me as one of her designer advisers and I became an everyday cheerleader for her. But just before all that I shared an idea with her that I wanted to do a series with her.
We already knew that we both shared a fondness for geeky stuff: she's like a Marvel comic counterpart to my Funimation anime. We're like a yin and yang of epic geeky proportions. So it quickly became clear that our series should be handmade geek inspired clothing.
And thus Sew Geeky was born and the rest as they say is history. We have found an invaluable friend in each other. We make one heck of a dynamic duo and I just love her to bits!
