Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! Cheers to it almost being the weekend!! It may be one of the last weekends until the snow officially arrives here (YAY for Canadian winters…), so we are going to make the most of the pretty fall leaves and greenery. Here’s to a weekend filled with laughs, love, and autumnal happiness!

It’s time to end with our weekly Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a new, up-and-coming shop called DEEKSandME. DEEKSandME launched into the Etsy world just a couple of days ago and has already released some adorable products. Even with their recent launch, their branding is absolutely stunning…complete with a beautiful logo and packaging. DEEKSandME is all about creating quality and stylish, handmade baby items that would be wonderful gifts or for you and baby! They choose fabrics that are colorful and eclectic, with a good mix of both “girl” and “boy” modern designs. So far, they have launched their baby bandanna bibs, burp cloths, and baby infinity scarves…and every single one of them is precious!

DEEKSandME loves our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection, and we just had to share the baby products made with our fun collection. They used What a Gem for their adorable bandanna bibs, which are made with soft coral flannel on the other side for maximum softness and absorbancy. As well, their wonderful burp cloths come in a set of three, which make for the perfect baby shower gift. And, they look very sweet with our What a Gem!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, DEEKSandME! You can check out more from this stylish baby shop at their Etsy Shop. And with that, it’s time for the weekend!! Have a fantastic one, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today is definitely the perfect day for a pumpkin spice latte and cuddling up in a thick, warm quilt. Whether we want it to come or not, Fall will be upon us in officially one week.

We have been excitedly getting prepared for Fall Quilt Market with our projects and other goodies, and can’t wait to share them with you all. For this week’s How To’s Day, we wanted to share with you one of our past, in-house free projects that so many of you enjoyed. Our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket is an easy patchwork blanket, that mimics the look of a quilt (without the need for advanced quilting skills). It’s adorable, cozy, and the perfect size to wrap your little nugget in. We had previously shared our tutorial on our blog with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection, with the subdued blue and tan hues making our baby blanket soothing and comforting.

We decided to create a fun version of our baby blanket with our Girl Power II collection – the bright colors make this blanket POP! As well, our Girl Power II collection makes it awesome for any little superheroine-in-training with the Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl designs decorating the blanket. We love the idea of your little superheroine snuggled up in her favorite blanket, dreaming to her heart’s content on all the *super* things she wants to do, whether it be playing all day in the yard or having a tea party with all her favorite companions. And we know, all our Girl Power fellow enthusiasts will be loving this blanket just as much (if not, more!) than she does…

As mentioned, we had featured our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as a DIY project on the blog, which you can find here. As well, we have a PDF version on our website that can be easily printed out for you to create. You can find it here, as well as our Free Projects Program.

We really hope you love our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as much as we do! We’d love to know your thoughts. And if you get the chance to make your own version, we’d love to see. You can always send your project pictures to us at info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us on Instagram. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. There are 5 more days until Christmas!! “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful”  – Norman Vincent Peale

Is anyone doing some last minute Christmas shopping this weekend? That is definitely in the plan (oops!), along with finding some delicious recipes for the upcoming holidays parties and spending some downtime playing in the freshly, fallen snow! We hear a snow angel (or two!) calling our names to be made! :)

It’s time for another Fan Friday! Today we are featuring another fantastic Etsy Shop, SuiteWorks. SuiteWorks is run by a husband and wife duo, and they specialize in creating unique, handmade baby accessories such as bibs and aprons that are very practical yet stylish. They spark the idea of creating on-trend baby pieces when they became parents themselves, and saw the limited design choices and “created the label to provide parents with alternative baby and children’s products. Each item is handmade with love and great care. The uniqueness of each piece will sure to put a smile on your child’s face.”

In lieu with fashion fabric designs, the husband and wife duo has chosen Camelot Fabrics amongst their favorites. One fabric design they especially love is our Hot Chocolate by Jackie McFee fabric collection. All the designs in Hot Chocolate are vibrant, fun, and on-trend…perfect for baby accessories and the like, and would make perfect holiday gifts too.

We adore the bibs they created with our Hot Chocolate collection. Any baby wearing these bibs are definitely going to be style mavens in the making! Click to see more :)

Hi everyone!

TGIF!! Wishing everyone a lovely Friday, and a Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all our fellow Canadians! Here at Camelot Fabrics, we have much to be thankful for…especially all of those who love our fabrics as much as we do! Seeing all the amazing and unique projects created using our fabrics truly make our days.

Today’s Fan Friday features the wonderfully talented Beth, and her lovely Geek-a-Bye Baby team!

Geek-a-Bye Baby started out as Beth’s quest for the perfect baby bedding (aka pirate monkeys…umm, how awesome!!) for the dream of a pirate monkeys-themed nursery. After no such luck on bedding, she decided to look for some pirate monkey fabric to bring her vision to life. Once her little one was born, she went all out making adorable “geek-worthy” blankies for her, and after many positive comments from strangers on starting up her own shop to sell them…she did! And thus, Geek-a-Bye Baby was born…and has only been growing wonderfully since! Geek-a-Bye Baby now carries a wide-range of “geeky” baby items, from burp cloths to sweet crocheted hats to custom bedding.

We are so honored to be one of Beth’s fabric choices for her designs! Seeing our Star Trek and Star Wars fabrics created into darling bedding sheets and baby bibs makes our hearts swoon. We think once you see them, you will feel the same. Here are some of our personal favorites:
