October's Theme: Geek Spectacular!

It's October! 

This month is all about you guys and what makes you geek out! We're having a Sew Geeky Weeky, meaning that there'll be posts all week from the 20th to the 26th with stuff sewn by you guys, sewn by us and just, I don't know, other people.

When we were coming up with themes for this year, there was a lot of discussion with our friends about things that made THEM get all geeky but didn't necessarily get either of us super into the idea. That totally sucked, because not all of our friends are anime buffs or Star Wars nerds, yet there was no way we were going to exclude them just because we had different fandoms! Part of being a nerd is being into things that other people are probably like "uh... yeh" which is pretty much 70% of how Sew Geeky came together; we wanted to OWN IT.

So don't be shy, what makes you geek out? Are you a Whovian? Do you get a thrill out of math puns? Maybe you just get super excited about the awesomeness of space? It doesn't necessarily have to be a pop culture reference, but it does have to be something that makes you sew geeky.

We love you guys! We want to see what you got!

Sew Geeky Themes

Want to sew with us, or just want to know what theme we will be sewing for ahead of time? Here's our Sew Geeky Theme Schedule. We'll update this regularly as we finalise our ideas. Is there a theme you like that's not here /yet/? Leave a suggestion in the comments below!

August: Marvel vs DC Comics
this speaks for itself! Choose your favourite hero, or villain!
September: Studio Ghibli
Think Ponyo, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away
October: Geek Spectacular 
What are YOU geeky about? Is it something we've already done? Doesn't matter, go WILD
November: Epic Fantasy 
We're talking Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. If it's fantasy, and it's epic, sew it up!
December: Tim Burton
Put Mr. Burton's iconic strangeness onto your things! Nightmare before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland or even Sweeney Todd!
January: Adult Swim
It's definitely aimed more at us than for the children, but we're so in love with the Regular Show, Adventure Time or the Venture Brothers - we had to make this a theme!


Miss something? Here's our past themes!

2014
May: Star Wars
We celebrated Star Wars day with a Stormtrooper, Luke and Leia an Imperial Guard, then followed it up later that month with a Creatures of Star Wars mini special which included a Raincor (Rancor Raincoat), Wampa playmat and a Bantha hoodie!
June: Tank Girl
Feelin' a little inadequate? Just because we're all 'grown-up' now and are supposed to be responsible mamas it doesn't mean that we don't still have some rebellious attitude still inside! Check out our two Tank Girls as well TG's besties Jet Girl and Sub Girl as we celebrate the iconic badass babe with two guests!
July: Classic Anime!
From Astroboy to Cardcaptor Sakura to Sailor Moon, we covered the basics of the classic anime you fell in love with when you were first introduced to the best of Japanese cartoons! Check out the full post for One Piece, Akira and Pokemon too!

2013
May: 8 Bit Babies
Sonic the Hedgehog, Nyan Cat and Tac Nayn, we payed homage to our favourite 8 bit videogames!
