Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! And Happy First Day of April! We know the saying “April showers, brings May flowers” may be true…but, we’re up for a little rain, as long as the weather is a little warmer. Excited for all the pretty blooms that will start to pop up everywhere!

No jokes from us today, it’s time to announce our Winsday winner! We hosted our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway, to get us into the Spring spirit, and we absolutely loved reading all of your comments. We asked you what spring-inspired project you would create with Coraline. From little girl dresses to spring table runners, you all came up with some fantastic ideas!! We were also so happy that you loved our Coraline Collection, making this Winsday the best one yet. Thanks all! The winner of our Coraline FQ Bundle is…

Congratulations, Nancy Potter-Schuldt! We hope you enjoy sewing and creating with our bundle. Please email us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by April 8th, 2015. And a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to enter. Lots more to come, so no worries!! Until next Winsday, have an awesome day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you all are having a fantastic day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Echo Pillow Tutorial by Kristy Daum, from our Free Projects Program. Our Echo Pillow has an architectural feel to it, with the fabrics creating angular lines throughout. We love how the linear designs stand out against a more neutral background, to really give that pop of color to any space. We chose to feature Echo with our The Kitten’s Meow Collection, to showcase how versatile this pillow is. How adorable would this pillow look in a little girl’s room? Another fabulous design by one of our faves, Kristy!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We have been hosting our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter!! :)

It’s also time to kick off another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection, a fresh and bright collection to inspire us into the warmer months. Gypsy Lane is full of vivacious hues: bright pink, orange, and turquoise take center-stage in gorgeous floral and dragonfly prints. The lively prints are happy and fun, and would brighten up any space or project. We adore the idea of a Gypsy Lane clutch or skirt; you will definitely be a standout amongst the crowd, in the best way. Add a punch of color to any neutral room with some Gypsy Lane throw pillows or a quirky quilt, for some added pizazz.

Aquilano Rimondi’s Spring RTW 2015 Collection was very fresh and earthy, definitely reminiscent of everything we love about Spring. Chiffon-y materials, light colors, and beautiful flowers dressed each model to create feminine silhouettes. Dragonfly, floral, and butterfly prints were among the patterns Rimondi used, to create ethereal, lightweight shift dresses and skirts. We would love to wear one of the dresses and dance around in a field of flowers – that’s how this collection makes us feel. We adore this dragonfly dress, reminiscent of our dragonfly print in Gypsy Lane.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post. We’d love to know what has been inspiring you as of late. You can find the full Gyspy Lane Collection here. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Fri-YAY!! We hope you all are having a great day. We are definitely looking forward to the weekend. Woot woot! We’re also giving away a Coraline FQ bundle this week, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter.

It’s time to our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some stunning dresses made by Lucy Made, with our Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham Collection. Lucy Made is a blog by a creative gal named Lucy, who shares her love affair for fabric, wool, and sewing on her blog. She is inspired by color and pattern, creating with a sewing machine named Daphne – how fantastic! 

Lucy Made made a couple of Geranium dresses (by madebyrae) for her friend’s little girls, using our Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham Collection, and they are just the sweetest. Big sister got a tunic-style dress with cap-sleeves and pockets, featuring a more bold, floral print from Beyond the Backyard. A sleeveless option, with a fuller skirt and a pink design, was chosen for the little sister. Both are just as adorable, and we hope the girls enjoyed their new outfits as much as we do! Lucy did such an amazing job making these dresses…we wish there were adult sizes in these hehe.

We also had a Geranium Dress made up in-house, with our Pastel Me More Collection, so we thought we’d also share it here. This dress truly is so versatile, and looks uber cute in both bold and soft prints.

Thank you so much, Lucy, for the fabric love!! We found your adorable dresses on Jane Farnham’s blog and just had to share. Too much cuteness!! (ps: congrats on the bundle on the way!) You can find more from Lucy on her blog, twitter, and flickr. Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

We can hear the birds chirping, the snow is finally melting, and it’s giving us that extra spring in our step. Inspired by pastel colors, Easter (which is coming up next week!), and ___, this is what we’ve been loving most this week…
