Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! How was everyone’s weekend? :) Can’t believe it’s already the last couple of days of April – We are super excited to be heading closer to warmer weather!! It’s still been pretty cool and rainy here, so we are hoping the “April showers brings May flowers” holds true this year (and therefore, we should we expecting LOTS of flowers blooming haha!).

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Star Trek Universe collection’s moodboard – this one is for all you trekkies! Our Star Trek Universe collection is a 13 SKU collection, immersed in the iconic blue, red, and yellow colors that vividly represent Star Trek. Divided up by color, just as in Star Trek, the different skus represent the members correlated with each ‘team’. As well, accompanying shields and space silhouettes designs coordinate with the colors too! We have got all your favorite characters from the Star Trek original series; trekkie fans – we’ve got you covered. So, are you team blue…team red…or team yellow? :)

Recently, there’s been a couple of fantastic, memorable interviews with legendary Star Trek cast members, including William Shatner and Patrick Stewart. Back in February, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen sat down for one of the most incredible interviews ever with Buzzfeed Brews. During their interview to publicize their Broadways No Man’s Land and Waiting for Godot, they managed to play The Newlywed Game together…and honestly, the whole interview is golden. I’m sure all the fellow trekkies have seen it already, but if not – go watch it right now! You definitely will not be disappointed.

Another recent interview is that of William Shatner. In the two-part interview, Shatner discusses everything from his later endeavors: Wacky Doodle, Shatner’s World (one night, one man show!), his latest book, and of course all things Star Trek related. The interview is will StarTrek.com, and you can read part one and part two here. Shatner is such a brilliant man, with many words of wisdom, and is an icon. And the fact that he Montreal born, like us, makes all the more awesome! ;)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! Stay tuned for some exciting things coming these next few weeks. There’s always something new happening at Camelot Fabrics! Until then…

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Let’s start off this week on a positive note! And in keeping with that theme, the weather seems to be cooperating with us today. We are supposed to be getting up to 23°C in temperature – definitely no complaining here! :)

Let’s start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with a pretty and springtime appropriate collection, our Theodore & Izzy Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio. Theodore & Izzy is a very girly and feminine collection, decorated with lovely pastel florals, bees, and honey bears. This collection is sweet and gentle, perfect for a newborn’s nursery – imagine a matching crib comforter, bed skirt, rail protector, and curtains with Theodore & Izzy in a honey themed room! Complete the room with a couple of bear plush friends, a friendly bee mobile, & a cozy baby quilt and it will be the sweetest room for any little honey bear to grow up in :) This collection reminds us of all the things we are especially looking forward to in Spring such as walks to the park, weekend picnics, and tea parties!

And keeping in theme with all things pretty and sweet (in every best way!), celebrations are coming up too! That means fun Easter crafts, exciting Easter egg hunts, and of course all the delicious food to celebrate Passover and Easter! What better place to get all your inspiration from than at the Martha Stewart website – the epitome of all things yummy, creative, and pretty! It is the one-stop place for every sort of crafting or party-planning idea, from baby showers to holidays to girl’s night in!

Recently, Martha Stewart posted some Passover recipes, and for dessert no less (our favorite!). We cannot wait to try the chocolate cake with espresso glaze and matzo s’mores – um, yum!! She has also got you covered with her Passover entertaining tips. For Easter, she has shared some egg-cellent ideas on everything egg-related, from decorating hard-boiled eggs to egg recipes. Be sure to check that out too here! We are very much inspired, and egg-cited to start our own holiday party. Thanks, Martha! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired. You can check out our Theodore & Izzy by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection here. Have  an egg-static (haha last egg pun for today, promise!) rest of the day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone!! We hope you all had a restful weekend. It’s starting to feel like springtime here, and we cannot wait for all the pretty blooms! To add some glisten to your day, have you entered our Bright Now Giveaway on Facebook yet? Giveaway winner will be announced this Wednesday! :)

To start off another great week, we have our Moody Monday to inspire you. Today we are going to share with you our DC Comics Originals moodboard. Our DC Comics Originals collection is the ultimate fabric line for all the DC comics enthusiasts who also love to sew (…or know of someone who can hehe!). This collection brings together all of your favorite DC comics characters – Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Flash – in a multitude of vibrant and dynamic designs and prints.

We picture a fun quilt with this collection, as well as t-shirt patches of each DC comic character, and a modern bag design! The possibilities are endless, and can fit the style of all DC Comics fans of all ages everywhere!! You can check out the full collection here.

The DC movie Superman vs. Batman, set to launch in 2016, has been getting a lot of buzz lately on the storyline…and more importantly, who will be playing who! DC Comics has not yet released any set plot information to the public yet, but from the title we can assume there will be a storyline focused on the two superheroes in some way. DC Comics has released most of the actors and actresses set to play the superheroes: Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. This film will include all your favorite DC Comics characters, just like in our fabric collection!

There has been lots of discussion amongst fans on the chosen parts, namely Batman and Wonder Woman – What do you think about the chosen cast? We are SUPER excited for this movie to launch – We are happy with the cast members and cannot wait to see the movie ourselves. We cannot wait for all the action and drama, we know it’s going to be an amazing movie! :)

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Remember, you are all superheroes in your own right :) “Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman…then always be Batman”. Have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a restful weekend. It is officially the last day of March! We are thrilled for the upcoming warmer days without layers, the patches of green grass starting to peak through, and the little creatures coming out of hibernation. Easter is also coming up, and we are super excited to start working on all our pastel-infused, springtime projects!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Pepsi by the Camelot Design Studio Collection. Imagine sitting by the pool in a large wide-brimmed hat and favorite novel, soaking up the sun’s warm rays…listening to the giddy children playing and the cool water splashing all around you. Starting to feel a little sticky from the sun, you reach into your fully stocked cooler and open up a refreshing can of…that’s right, Pepsi. There is honestly nothing quite like it. Can you tell we are just a little bit excited for warmer weather? :)

Yup, that’s right! Your iconic blue and red drink is now in fabric form! We have taken your favorite drink print and put a modern, vintage twist to it! Keeping the red and blue hues prominent, but adding a fun and charming flair…our Pepsi fabric collection is perfect for all the Pepsi enthusiasts who also love to sew and craft. Imagine a flirty, Pepsi-printed skirt or a matching Pepsi-printed bowtie and pocket square? Very fresh and playful! :)

In 2012, Christian Cota had collaborated with Diet Pepsi to create a capsule collection of Diet Pepsi-inspired pieces throughout the decades. There were a total of five inspired pieces including an adorable shift dress, a couple of maxis, a fun pair of capris, and a classic blue and red pullover. All the pieces used classic Pepsi prints and were inspired by fashion elements through the years. The preview also included unlimited Diet Pepsi for the guests, Pepsi-inspired straws, and décor in the classic red and blue colors! It is such a fun and beautiful collection, and gives us lots of inspiration of what to create with our Pepsi fabric collection! You can check out the full Christian Cota x Diet Pepsi Capsule Collection here.

Thank you so much for reading this week’s Moody Monday! Have a great day everyone! :)
