Welcome!

Hi everyone,

 
Happy Thursday! We have been launching our Fall 2015 Collections this week! Let us know which ones are your favorite so far :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring an Canadian-based Etsy shop – Barabooboo Designs – dedicated to handmade, high-quality, and beautiful wallets, handbags, and totes. Michelle, owner and creative behind Barabooboo Designs, started handstitching at the age of 5… and never looked back. She is a fabric buyer, collector, and sewer and adores working with fun, modern fabric prints. After spending 14 years as a floral designer, she went back to her true passion – sewing – and started Barabooboo Designs.

She recently launched a couple of bags featuring our Elixir collection, and we just had to share!! The first is the gorgeous Lantana Shoulder Bag, the second the lovely Jada clutch – both patterns by Blue Calla. We adore how she mixed a soft gray fabric with our Elixir print. So pretty!

Thank you for the fabric love, Michelle!! We are obsessed with your Elixir bags. You can find more from Barabooboo Designs on Facebook, Etsy, and Instagram. Have a terrific day, y’all!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a lovely week – and are ready for some fun this weekend!!

Ending a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous bag sewn by Valerie Higgins of Eldra Ann Designs. Valerie chose Swoon Sewing Pattern‘s Vivian Traveler Diaper Bag pattern to create this wonderful bag for a friend. She included the additional pockets and one long exterior pocket for a diaper changing pad. She decided to feature our Gray Matters by Jack!e McFee collection, with its vibrant yellow and grey tones, to create a modern and feminine diaper bag. Valerie also mentioned that she “loved making this bag, mostly because [she] never got tired of looking at these beautiful fabrics”. Aww, thanks Valerie!!

Ohhhhhh, the inside lining is just as pretty and fun!!

Thank you, Valerie, for the fabric love. We are also big fans of Swoon Sewing Patterns, so it was great to see our Gray Matters made into one of her bags. We hope your friend enjoys her new bag! You can find more from Valerie on Facebook, Instagram, and at her Etsy Shop. Have a gooooooood weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a good one. Wishing you all a fun-filled, maybe sew-filled, weekend :)

But before we go, let’s end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some pretty makeup bags from Alex of godiesew on Instagram. From Alex’s feed, we can definitely tell she has quite the passion for sewing and fabric – we can relate hehe. She shares her latest fabric finds and sewing projects (and the occasional sweet kittie picture) on her Instagram, including these makeup bags featuring yours truly. We can spot two of our collections – Let’s Go and the Design Studio Collection! Each makeup bag features a coordinating zipper and metallic leather bottom, which really adds a fun element to them. Such sweet bags!

Thank you for the fabric love, Alex. And thank you for mentioning us on Instagram! If you would like to featured in a future Fan Friday, you can send your photos to info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us on Instagram. It always makes us smile to see the love that you all put in your projects & fabric choices. Have an amazing weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a fantastic week – so excited and ready for the weekend!! :)

Time to end a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a fun Coraline Laptop Bag by Valerie Higgins of Eldra Ann Designs. Eldra Ann Designs is a small Etsy shop that Valerie started last year, as a way to share her fun project creations. Sewing is something she learnt from her mom and grandmothers, and now is an enjoyable hobby that helps relieve the daily stress (oh, we can so relate!). She said that she can get lost into a project, way into the night, but loves every minute of it. She opened up Eldra Ann Designs to share with others, specifically creating custom orders for people.

One of the custom orders Valerie received was for a laptop bag. She used an altered version of Swoon Patterns‘ (one of our faves!) Dakota Bag and used our Coraline by Camelot Design Studio collection as the main fabric, including a fun interior and strap detailing. We love the use of the coral pattern, while keeping the rest of the bag neutral with a gray fabric. The bag is finished with two hidden snaps, and makes for the perfect, stylish bag for carrying your laptop – either to work or school! 

Thank you for the fabric love, Valerie! We’re so glad you love our Coraline Collection and chose it for this bag. We adore it! You can find more from Valerie on her Instagram and Etsy. Have an incredible weekend!!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week – woo for it being just about the weekend. TGIF! And to get your weekend started, have you entered our #GypsyLane FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? ;)

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a gorgeous bag by Reece Montgomery, featuring our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection. A Canadian mom, sewer, and blogger, the super talented Reece used a bag pattern from Sew Sweetness, and it turned out fab-U-lously! Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee is our fun metallic gold and silver collection of dots, chevrons, and animal prints shimmering away. Reece used our gold star metallic print for her bag, accented with a gold and black print handle, for a true “standout” bag. Shine, shimmer, and sparkle!! 

She also made a bunch of other fun projects with Heavy Metal, including a coffee cozy, makeup bag, clutch, keychain fob, and more!! Sooooo pretty. And who doesn’t love a fun giveaway, right? ;) Reece and Lisa of Sitka Fabrics are teaming up to give away a Heavy Metal FQ Bundle!! Woo!! Head on over to Reece’s blog on how to enter!

Thank you Reece for the fabric love! We are so glad you love our Heavy Metal Collection and chose to use it for your bag. It looks awesome!! You can find more from Reece at her blog. And with that, have an amazing weekend!
