3 Looks for Kids Spring Fashion: Kids Clothes Week 2015

I'm always late to the blog party lately, mainly because I just allow my kiddos and our adventures come first.  We're constantly checking off our seasonal bucket list so I blame that for my breaks between posts 😁  I decided on a whim, last minute, to partake in Kids Clothes Week this spring!  I recently flipped out when I found that my favorite sewing book, A Sunny Spot, just put out the newest edition a couple of weeks ago.  I decided to freak out and immediately order it (and another little pattern book) from Amazon Japan.

Sew Geeky Marvel vs DC Episode!

Good morning to you!  ^_^ It’s time for Sew Geeky’s newest episode: Marvel vs DC! We didn’t want to do just Superheroes.  We wanted to spice it up a bit, so we did a Marvel vs Detective Comics (aka DC) theme! So I decided to go with a hero vs villain approach for my outfits. I give you retro Catwoman and chibi Loki!

KCWC, INTRO TO SEW GEEKY, PACMAN

So 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!
