Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! How was everyone’s weekend? Any fun projects that you’re working on? We’d love to know!

It’s time for our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring Carbon – one of our latest colors to become a part of the Fresh Solids collection. Carbon is a moody and broody, dark grey color that meshes well with a lot of different palettes. Warm a bright project with a bit of carbon, or create a neutral-colored quilt. And with the fall time coming soon, carbon is one color that is sure to keep all of your projects (and you!) feeling oh-so cozy. Our carbon color is available as a solid, as well as in our herringbone and honeycomb prints.

We are obsessed with how fresh and modern Calvin Klein’s Fall 2006 Collection is. Even almost 10 years later, his ensembles are all pieces we still see on the streets, in the magazines, and as upcoming trends. We love the neutral palette he chose – a classic look for the autumn weather. We adore this outfit, which is reminiscent of our Carbon herringbone print. Simple, classic, but that skirt is incredible.

We hope we have inspired you today! We’d love to know what fall trends you are looking forward to trying. Especially since NYFW has been underway! Have a great day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! And Happy #ForceFriday! It has been all Star Wars, all day loooong on our blog – including our exciting launch of our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection.

Ending our week with our Fan Friday, with one of the coolest Star Wars ensembles we’ve ever seen! Shawnee of thedisneyworldgirl is a, hence her Instagram handle hehe, huge fan of Disney. Her Instagram account is probably the next best thing to actually being at the parks!! On her account, she shares her Disney World adventures, and also ventures to many of the yearly conventions.

When we saw the dress she had created with our Star Wars fabric, we were so impressed!!! She used a vintage pattern to make the dress, and even sewed a matching set of Minnie ears! To complete the look, she wore Star Wars tennis shoes with fun, blue laces. So adorable!! We are so in love with her outfit – we can definitely call her a true Star Wars fan!

You’re rocking it, Shawnee!! Thank you for the fabric love – we are so happy you love our Star Wars fabric. If you are a huge Disney fan too, be sure to check out Shawnee’s Instagram; it’s filled with lots of magical and nostalgic posts. Have an awesome weekend, everyone!

As we count down the days to #ForceFriday, we’re also sharing some amazing projects featuring our Star Wars fabric – from some equally fantastic Etsy creators (who also happen to be Star Wars fans!!). Let’s see what they have designed, as well as find out why they love Star Wars too…

The Force is Strong Insulated Lunch Bag by brookiellen, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Comic Book Covers fabric.

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “First of all, I never saw the Star Wars movies until I met my husband (yeah, I know…seriously).  Better late than never, right?  This was mostly due to a story my dad had me believing for years.  When I was little he had this black and white photo of a scary looking old man in a robe, standing in the woods.  He told me that this man lived in the woods behind our house.  Of course I believed him and was terrified.  Then I remember seeing a movie poster (not realizing at the time it was for The Empire Strikes Back) and this same scary looking man was on it.  Once I got a little older, I found out that the photo of the “scary looking old man living in the woods behind my house” was actually my uncle wearing an old robe and a YODA mask.  Thanks Dad!  For this reason, Star Wars will always hold a special and strange place in my childhood memories.  This is comical especially now because after actually watching the movies, Yoda has become one of my favorite characters.”

Star Wars Dress by Cyanidekissx, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Comic Strip fabric.

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “Well….that’s a funny one…because I think he’s just about every Star Wars fan’s least favourite character…But really like Jar Jar.. He makes me giggle! Not sure I should admit that one ;)”

Thank you to these fabulous and talented ladies who let us share their Star Wars products! 2 down, three more days to go…
