Happy Summer Everyone!!! Earlier this month, Sephira turned 11! I wish these kids would slow down already! This year she asked for the Weekend Boy bellhop look Onew (SHINee’s leader) wore in his recent solo music video “DICE”! The video is so bright and colorful and fun and weird and it just makes you smile! Keep reading for more all about the outfit!

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!!!!

It’s no secret that we are heavily influenced by Asian pop culture around here. We are a helpless fangirl family who are forever inspired by it all, from anime to Aaron Yan, Saiki K. to SHINee… honestly, it’s rare to hear us listen to anything in English! I am sooooo behind sharing things that I made for fun in the past few years but I thought I might break the cycle by sharing Sephira’s birthday outfit request: Lee Tae Min’s opening outfit from Sayonara Hitori.
(Disclaimer, I am not affiliated with anything SHINee or Taemin related nor is any of this for sale or anything like that. Just a post about a momma Shawol, sewing for her baby shawol. ❤)

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!

It doesn't seem that long ago that I made a rainbow inspired 5th birthday outfit, and, as irony would have it, I have done it yet again! That was the challenge: how to make an equally beautiful rainbow-inspired outfit without being repetitive. These girls are so unique; they truly have their own styles and personalities! Sephira is a free spirit that is candid with pretty much everything! I tried hard to tie in all the things she wanted (she frequently wants to be at least seven different things all at once) and keep it cohesive.

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.

It’s the 25th!!! So you know what that means: SEW GEEKY! This month’s theme is Epic Fantasy inspired. Think Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, or really anything that would conjure up visions of enchantment.

It’s Halloweentime guys!
This is one of my very favorite times of year! Max and I decided a while back that it would be great to do a big free for all geek fest for this month's Sew Geeky. A chance for everyone to sew whatever they want that they love, and the creations by our guests so far have been awe inspiring, to say the least!

I told myself that I wouldn’t go over the top; that I want to keep Sew Geeky a little more casual so that I don’t burn myself out trying to outdo myself every month. It’s exhausting! It also makes me struggle to make other things; the essential things. BUT STUDIO GHIBLI?! I could not go small. I just couldn’t! Ugh, I am my own worst enemy, I know! Narrowing it down was incredibly hard. I have the urge to STUDIO GHIBLI ALL THE THINGS!

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!

"Feelin' a little inadequate?"
So who here is a former angsty teenager from the 90s? I was! I was the only kid in school wearing patent leather pants in every color and donning a choker necklace made out of safety pins and I listened to punk and ska music and loved every minute of it! The grown up Kat loves those things still, but I've evolved since then. But ain't nostalgia grand! Well, TANK GiRL is like a time capsule for me of my high school days (even though TANK GiRL came out just before I started high school). The thing about TANK GiRL is that she's a bad girl. She smokes, she loves guns and ahem her tank and she dresses far on the risque side of things. Being that I'm a mom and am not into any of those things, I made my look and accessories more of a TANK GiRL: the Mom.
