Guess who JUST turned 1?! I mean, I can hardly believe it myself! As hard as I tried to keep her my tiny baby forever (I mean how much coffee and junk food to you need to feed a baby to keep her small? TOTALLY KIDDING, OF COURSE!!!), she just keeps growing and growing! Sheesh! The weird thing is she doesn't seem to change physically at all! I mean, sure she gets taller but her face looks the same as it did when she was six months old! And man, oh, man do I love that face!
Read MoreI really wanted to do something special that I’ve never done before (so bear with me): a self-drafted multi-sized PDF pattern. It’s free (yay!) and it’s for sizes 12months to 5 years but could easily be graded up or down as you please.
Read MoreHey 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 MoreIt’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.
Read MoreSo check this out, guys. I'm on this super cool tour for the Rowan Tee by Titchy Threads! What makes it different from your average tee pattern? Well, because it is customizable in 144 different variations! Isn't that crazy?! All truth, folks, I tell no lies :-)

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!

As part of the {affiliate link} Perfect Pattern Parcel #5 for girls and tweens, I chose to do the {affiliate link} Sunki dress here straight away. I later realized that I signed up for a day the following week so I tried to whip something up in a jiffy.
Read MoreMorning everyone! Today I am really happy to be a part of Rachael’s {affiliate link} Selfish Sewing Week! These days, I have tried to keep the focus on my family what with tiny Akira and all, so that means less blogging. That’s me-being selfish. That being said I wouldn’t dare pass up joining in for Selfish Sewing! I just had to join in! Rachael is my GIRL!
Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreGood 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!
Read MoreHello my lovelies! I'm over at Rae Gun Ramblings for her Happy Harry Potter series today showing off my chibi Bellatrix Lestrange dress!
Read MoreThis is me.
In a nutshell, my whole life I've been a cartoon addict. No lie. I recorded my faves on VHS when I was a teenager and I have never really stopped watching them!
But as you get older you learn to appreciate new things and I fell, similar to Alice, down the rabbit hole, into the world of anime.
Read More"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.
