Hi! This is Sephira! She’s my daughter, my muse, and my best friend. Earlier this week, she turned 10 and we are having such a fun birthday week celebrating her! Keep reading below to check out more on her handmade outfit request: the DEMAND BEAUTY look of KEY’s (SHINee) from Don’t Call Me.

Another Easter passed during the pandemic! Last year was a really bizarre one for everyone, us included, but after a year of self-quarantining, we learned how to make the best of things! I wanted to do something colorful but in a different way than I’d done in the past. Originally, the plan was holographic vinyl and neon elastic cording and white but I found it impossible to find colorful cording that wasn’t super skinny (and that was just not the look I was going for!). So I ended up having to quickly change up some of my plans!

We felt like celebrating this chibi Taemin outfit again! We left out some poses last time and there were some details about the outfit that needed a little more focus so we got all dressed up and did a round two!

This year I made an Ender Dragon from Minecraft, a Cake Dragon from Roblox, and chibi Lee Taemin “Criminal” cosplay! Further down this post, you’ll see the pictures of my dragon girls, but for my chibi Taemin, I made a special Lookbook describing the whole process and backstory on the outfit! I hope you enjoy them! Please take a peek and tell me how you think it came out!

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 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. ❤)

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!

What if there was a way to immortalize your child's drawings? How would you do it? For me, it was a labor of love... x 2.
We stumbled upon the conversation of what her birthday outfit should look like. I told her she could help design it (since I am a part of an affiliate program with My Fabric Designs). Well, this little puppy girl of mine came up with the idea of animals playing instruments! How fun!

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!
