Hi everyone!
Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Happy Memorial Day to all our American friends! Have you seen our latest How To’s Day? We posted a tutorial for a stunning Lattice Table Runner that would be the perfect centerpiece for all the upcoming Summer parties. Find the free tutorial here!
It’s time to start another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with one of our Spring 2014 Collections…Folklore by Heather Rosas for Camelot Fabrics. Folklore is an exquisite collection of ruby, turquoise, and cream hues to create a very happy and modern look. The designs in this collection include sweet birds, fluttery leaves, and a multitude of spring florals – daisies, roses, and tulips!
There is a Scandinavian feel of the designs in Folkore, but the brighter colors make it very fresh and on-trend. We can imagine a perfect Farmer’s Tote, a precious apron for the baking enthusiast, or a playful dress with the turquoise & red hues of Folklore!
One collection that has a similar essence to Folkore is Antonio Berardi’s Spring 2014 collection. The soft hues of creams, nudes, and pinks make this collection very pretty and fluttery, especially with the sheer and delicate fabrics. We especially adore the floral detailing, with the subdued metallic accents. This collection is very feminine and dainty, and we love the juxtaposition of the bohemian-inspired hairstyle and bold red lips. This collection reminds us of our Folklore by Heather Rosas Collection with its beautiful floral details, muted creams and pinks, and boho-vibe. You can check out the full collection HERE! We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It’s Victoria Day here in Canada, so we’re enjoying the long weekend. The weather has been absolutely pristine….and we have an extra day to enjoy it! :) Oh, have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric & Chalk Markers Giveaway yet? You can enter here! The giveaway ends tomorrow.
To start off our week, we have our Moody Monday! Because we launched our Spring 2014 Collections last week, we are continuing the trend by talking a bit more about each one. Today we are going to share and inspire you with our Spectrum Collection by Camelot Design Studio. When we think of a perfectly crisp Summer day complete with a pretty frock, a bike ride to the farmer’s market, and some freshly squeezed lemonade…that is what Spectrum exudes to us! The citrus-inspired hues of tangerine, lemon, lavender, and mint green makes us crave a cool, summer drink! Spectrum is bright, vibrant, and happy…and you can’t help but feel that way too when creating a project or wearing a piece using this collection.
With Spring officially here, we are bringing out our favorite Summer dresses and playsuits! We are so excited not having to bundle up into a thick scarf and down coat anymore. One collection that reminds us of Spectrum is Nina Ricci’s Spring 2014 RTW collection. Complete with citrus-infused colors (yellows, oranges, and grapefruit) and playful silhouettes, we absolutely adore this one.
Ricci’s collection is a mixture of texture and strong colors; exquisite ruffle details, delicate eyelet, pretty tweed, and playful print combinations make this collection reminiscent of a summer in the Hamptons! We especially love this outfit, as well as this one, and this one. You can see the full collection here! Be sure to check out all the designs of our Spectrum Collection, and let us know your favorites! We hope we have inspired you today :)
Happy Sewing!

We’ve got one more Spring 2014 collection to share with you all!! Last, but definitely not least, we are sharing our Singin’ The Blues Collection by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics.
Jackie McFee’s Singin’ The Blues is ornate and vibrant collections of, as the name suggests, blue tones! The beautiful mix of cobalt blue, topaz, and mint colors makes this collection very light, breezy, and ocean-inspired. This collection reminds us a beach vacation somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece – the rustic architecture, the clear waters, the rich culture, and the delicious food! Wouldn’t that be an exquisite vacation? Singin’ The Blues is decorated with elegant designs of medallions, ogees, hexagons, and lattices all in wonderful blue hues. So, so pretty! We can imagine a Singin’ The Blues summer frock, a room with a Mediterranean theme complete with flowing curtains, and a tote bag to carry all your beach treasures.
This stunning quilt design is our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel. You can find the free pattern for it on our website here!
We really hope you enjoy our Singin’ The Blues by Jackie McFee collection! You can check out the free projects with this collection here, here, here, here, here, and here.
We really hope you have had as much fun perusing our newest Spring 2014 Collections as we have enjoyed launching them. We would love to know which collection is your favorite, and if any has inspired any project ideas! :)
