Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a couple of gorgeous aprons with our Scented collection. Charmed by Aprons is an online shop of feminine, 50s-inspired aprons in elegant and playful fabric prints & combinations. It all started when Liivika, owner of Charmed by Aprons, was searching for feminine aprons to no luck. She decided to create her own patterns, getting inspiration from vintage styles. Her friends loved her aprons so much, that it sparked the idea for a new business idea. Her shop has now expanded to several designs and limited collections, and is ever-growing. Her wish? “…that every woman feels comfortable and feminine in our aprons!”

One of her latest fabric choices caught our eye… or rather our nose! She chose a couple of prints from our Scented collection, perfectly mixing and matching different prints (and scents!) to create her stunning aprons. One of our favorites is the Peachy Peach apron, featuring our “peachy peach” design. Love the complimentary coral color with it. She also combined two of our scented prints – Watermelon and Pink Sugar. Pink and red is always a classic combination, but we also have no qualms about an ever sweeter watermelon scent.

Thank you for the fabric love, Liivika!! These aprons are absolutely gorgeous!! You can check more from Charmed by Aprons on their website, as well as on their Instagram. And with that – have an amazing weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a sweet What a Gem Topknot and Shorts set, designed by Knox & Yorke. Knox & Yorke is an online, Australian-based shop dedicated to “funky threads and accessories for awesome little people”. She specializes in unique and custom pieces for little girls and boys, from harem shorts to lil’ shoes, with a good range in modern to vintage fabric.  

A recent custom order was for a topknot and pair of little girl’s shorts, with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. We can just imagine a little girl out to dinner or playing in the park… of course being the stylish one there in her new play suit! How precious!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! In honor of World Kindness Day, we just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who takes the time to visit our lil ol’ blog each day. We appreciate you so much!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today’s feature is an adorable baby set by DolceVera with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. Karen What a Gem is a boho-inspired collection of arrows, geometric shapes, and dreamy dream-catchers. Karen, creator behind DolceVera, was inspired to start her little shop after having her daughter – Vera. Wanting to dress her up in all the pretty things she decided to start sewing, with the help of her mom, and caught the sewing bug. Her hobby eventually turned into a business (name inspired by her daughter!), where she creates sweet baby shoes and other baby items – all handmade with passion & love.

One little set that caught our eye is this What a Gem baby set she sent to a customer. It features a pair of adorable soft sole baby shoes and a matching burp cloth. She chose a pink print from our What a Gem collection, and we adore how sweet it looks as baby attire. Those shoes!! 

We hope the lucky little girl enjoys her new shoes and blankie!! Thank you so much, Karen, for the fabric love. For more from Karen, be sure to check out her Etsy Shop and Instagram. And with that, hope you all have a fun weekend!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone is having a great one. Have you entered our Make a Wish FQ Bundle Giveaway? Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Nikki of Seam Allowance Fabrics used one of our free patterns, our Wallace the Whale pattern, to create an adorable toy whale for her son. She scaled our pattern to 60% because her son wanted a baby whale, and we think that Wallace looks just as sweet. She chose a green and white design for the main body, and a white for the tale and tummy. He son looks so happy with his new whale friend!

We are so happy you enjoyed our Wallace the Whale tutorial! Thank you for sharing him with us on Instagram. If you want to create your own Wallace the Whale, you can find the free pattern on our website! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! And Happy Hallow’s Eve! What is everyone dressing up as this year?

Ending our week is our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an adorable quilt made by TamTam Designs, with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas collection. TamTam Designs specializes in handmade, cozy baby blankets and plush play mats. More specifically, TamTam Designs’ blankets are puffed, so that they add extra comfort and support for little ones. It is such a unique technique and look, and can be created with lots of different colors and designs mixed together. One of their recent releases is a puff quilt with our Sea Life collection, and we adore how the green and blues look together! She added a cuddle border, and it is the perfect puff quilt for a little swimmer-in-training.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, TamTam Designs! And thank you for sharing your puff quilt with us on Instagram. We always love seeing the projects you tag us with! Have a fantastic and safe Halloween, everyone!
