Chibi Hour is no ordinary online shop… it is a workshop of creative curiosities, nestled in the heart of Northern France, where gears, needles, and sparks of imagination collide.
At the helm of this dream machine: two sisters, passionate time-travelers of creative arts, specialists in cross-stitch, and tireless explorers of the fiber realms. Mélodie, pioneer of the adventure, first pulled the levers in 2013 with Chibi Stitches, later transformed into the grand steam engine now known as Chibi Hour in 2022.
By her side, Mélanie, who at the age of 14 was already sketching her own embroidery patterns like hidden treasure blueprints. Since 2014, she has fueled the gears of the workshop with her designs under the name Chibi à Croquer, before joining forces with Mélodie to create the Cutie Ink collection in 2018.
Inside this factory of wonders, worlds collide: sometimes Kawaii, sometimes Gothic, and often Steampunk… Their creations are forged like precious artifacts, from hand-drawn sketches and colored illustrations to cross-stitch charts: enigmatic codes ready to be deciphered on your hoops.
For several seasons now, Chibi Hour’s machine has been connected by pipes and wires of creativity to the English shop SEW IT ALL. Together, they keep the boilers of imagination running hot, delivering fabrics from across the Channel.
In 2022, the two inventors unveiled a new mechanism: monthly subscription boxes infused with magic and adventure. Each chest, crafted like a secret vault, explores new worlds: fairy tales, wicca, and realms where gears and enchantments intertwine. Every box is carefully assembled by hand, every object within a collector’s piece.
Beyond these marvels, Chibi Hour equips you with tools for your own textile expeditions: hoops, needles, needle minders, skeins, and all the indispensable accessories for any stitcher-adventurer.
The workshop also extends its mechanical branches into other creative territories, with a catalog brimming with Scrapbooking and Mixed Media artifacts.
At Chibi Hour, the experience is not merely that of a shop; it is a journey through the gears of time and imagination. Prepare your needles, set the cogs in motion, and embark on an epic where every stitch becomes a spark of adventure.
