Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Today is Groundhog Day and from the looks of it, according to Phil the Groundhog, we’ve still got another 6 weeks of winter ahead of us. Seems about right, as we woke up to a cozy -32 °C with windchill this morning. Brrr…

Time for some weekly inspiration with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Scented Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Our Scented collection features delicious and bright fruit prints; watermelon, lemons, apples, peaches, strawberries – as well as other yummy things, such as honey, coconut, lavender, vanilla, and crisp linen. You’re probably thinking of how delectable all of these things sound…now imagine a strawberry fabric design, that smelled like sweet strawberries! Our Scented collection is bursting with wonderful scents; you’ll not only fall in love with the pretty designs, but the scents too.

Our Scented Collection would make for some awesome projects. Who wouldn’t want to twirl around in a yummy, apple printed skirt? You can also make a lovely quilt or pillow with our Scented Collection, which would also leave a very light and fresh scent in the room.

FFWD, a fashion week-style event in Dubai, has featured so many incredibly talented designers and their designs. In their third season last Spring, one designer we were particularly fond of was Jo Baaklini. His fresh and vibrant style translated into his summer-inspired collection. His ensembles were bursting with color and liveliness, from bright turquoise pants to fruity prints. Every outfit was so fun. We especially adored his watermelon and lemon prints, which were reminiscent of our Scented Collection. This collection is definitely get us ready for Summer!!

We hope we’ve livened up your day with our Moody Monday! We’re definitely thinking about warmer days, despite our “six more weeks of winter”. We can still daydream. Have an awesome day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Did anyone work on some fun sewing projects? We would love to know!!

It’s time for some daily inspiration with this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio collection. Rise & Shine is a gorgeous collection of lattice, diamond, and trellis, and tweed geometrics. This collection is just bursting with wonderful turquoise, grey, and yellow hues that make you feel calm and happy. Our Rise & Shine designs would make for a beautiful mod-styled dress or circle skirt. As well, we adore the idea of fresh pops of turquoise and yellow in a neutral room, such as a Rise & Shine quilt or pillow.

Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection is getting us super excited for fall fashion! The warm navy, burgundy, and grey hues are stunning together and make for a very polished look. This collection consisted of lots of lovely floral prints, preppy stripes, and 50s silhouettes. We are in love with this cute dress, that reminds us of the diamonds print from our Rise & Shine Collection. You can find the full collection here.

We hope you have been inspired this week. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, working on some sewing projects or just taking it easy. We are hosting our Paddington Bear Fabric Giveaway this week on our Facebook Page. Because Paddington is such an adventurous little bear, we want to know what your greatest adventure has been.

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection – a sea-inspired collection of fish, starfish, and seaweed in pretty blues and greens. This collection gives us that nostalgic feeling of being at the sunny and warm beach, a place we would love to be right now (instead of the frigid cold). Sea Life is happy and vibrant, a perfect collection for a beach house, sea-inspired room, or for kids’ clothing! We also love the idea of a simple, modern pillow for a beach-y vibe. Oh, our Wallace the Whale would love to dazzle in some Sea Life!

Valentino’s Spring 2015 Collection is the epitome of femininity and pure luxe. There are two distinct styles in this collection; one ethereal and the other boho-inspired with its geometric and block patterns. The dresses are flowy and loose, the perfect outfits for a vacation in the Mediterranean, to throw on after a day in the sun. We especially adore the sea-inspired prints – seafish against chiffon = the prettiest thing ever. We especially adore this dress, reminding us of our Sea Life Collection. You can check out the full collection from Valentino here.

We hope we have inspired you with our weekly Moody Monday!! Here’s to dreaming of a vacation by the sea. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of winter wonderland, starting off with our Moody Monday feature. Today we showcase our mysterious & feminine Elixir collection, which is reflected beautifully in this dazzling gown from Dennis Basso’s Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection. We’re utterly enchanted with the subtle sparkle and liquid drape of this dress, especially when paired with a luxurious furry wrap.

We adore the decadent elegance of Basso’s line for this coming Spring. All those gorgeous textures! Mmmmm …

Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday as much as we have, and happy sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! Oh, and Happy New Year! It is 2015…wait, what? Where did 2014 go? LOL. We had an amazing 2014, and are super excited for everything that is to come this year. It’s going to be a good one! :)

Starting off 2015 right with our Moody Monday, for your daily dose of inspiration. Today we are featuring our Marvel Comics II Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. This collection brings to life all of your fav9rite Marvel characters, from Spider-Man to Iron Man to the Hulk, and more! The colors in Marvel Comics II are bright and vivacious, the primary color scheme being blue, red, and grey. Deck out your little superhero-in-training’s bedroom with some Marvel Comics II pillows and coordinating tabbed curtains. And don’t forget about the little hero’s outfit. We love the idea of a Marvel Comics circle skirt or tie – and be sure to complete the look with a cape! ;) We also have lots of fun quilt patterns for all our fellow Marvel Comics enthusiasts!

We absolutely adored Versace’s Fall 2014 RTW Collection! The darker hues of burgundy and teal, followed by bright pops of color, gave this collection a very warm and romantic feel. There was definitely a military-esque look to the outfits, with the structured jackets, laced up boots, and button detailing. Even so, there was a femininity to this whole collection that was softened by the more delicate textures and silhouettes. We really loved this outfit, which was reminiscent our Marvel II Collection – strong and powerful! You can see the full collection here.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! We hope everyone is having a great 2015 thus far! Only more good things to come :)

Happy Sewing!
