Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s Mother’s Day weekend? A little cooler and dreary here, but we still had a lovely weekend celebrating the rock star women in our lives!

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our DC Comics: Immortal Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. DC Comics: Immortal brings back all of our bestselling DC Comics designs, from your favorite Girl Power prints (Wonder W0man, Supergirl, and Batgirl) to the strong heros (Batman, Superman, Aquaman). Back at it again, not only to help save the world, but to help make your projects superhero-worthy. Packed with bright blues, reds, greens, and yellows – our DC: Immortals Collection is sure to bring out the superhero in all of us!

We loved Arthur Arbesser’s Spring 2015 Collection! Simple in color palette – soft blue, coral, black, and white – but very spring-inspired and pretty. His collection had some great trends going on, including a peplum-hemmed dress, chiffon overlays, and adorable cropped outfits. It’s the perfect spring wardrobe for a week in the Hamptons! We especially loved this outfit, which was reminiscent of our DC Comics: Immortals Collection, like a modern-day Supergirl. Love!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to wearing for Spring. Have a great day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! It’s almost the weeeeeekend. Woo! We hope all the moms have an incredible Mother’s Day this weekend, surrounded by lots of love and warm hugs. (Pssst.. we’re also hosting a Mother’s Day Giveaway!)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely personalized essential oils case found on the Girl Restored Shop. Jessie Carroll is the creative gal behind Girl Restored, an Etsy Shop dedicated to handmade, original bags of all sorts. She specializes in creating bags (clutches, train cases, makeup bags) with removable pockets for your essential oils, so that they are organized & will not spill everywhere. She also creates all of her own patterns, sells some of her patterns in her shop, and offers custom orders too.

Jessie chose our Bright Now by Jackie McFee Collection to create a fun, personalized case – complete with a personalized letter front, tassels, and pockets for your essential oils. She chose our yellow colorway for the bag, yellow drops for the shell & polka dots for the inner lining, that matched perfectly with the bronze letter and zipper tassel. The bag is a great size for all of your cosmetics, for travelling, and can hold up to 20 essential oil bottles.

Thank you, Jessie, for the fabric love!! You can find more from Girl Restored at her Etsy Shop, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. You can find her Bright Now bag here. Have a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are all doing fantastic today. Interestingly, today is National Beverage Day...my favorite drink of choice on a hot, sunny day would have to be good ol’ lemonade. Yum! What is yours?

Another Wednesday, means that it’s Winsday time! Just in time for Mother’s Day this weekend, we’re hosting a Mother’s Day Giveaway on our Facebook Page. We love our mums – aka best friend, biggest supporter, teacher, shoulder to cry on, hand to hold when the tough gets tough, role model – and wanted to host a giveaway dedicated to the strongest of women.

The prize is a stunner, reminiscent of our mums: our Wildflowers Collection by Alisse Courter. This collection is deliciously feminine and pretty, encapsulated by florals in soft grays, greens, and pinks. It definitely is one of our fan favorites too, as the collection is now completely sold out. Want to win this stack of beautiful fabrics? Head on over to our Facebook Page, find the Giveaway Image, “LIKE” the image, and comment letting us know what your favorite memory with your mom is. There are probably a million-and-one moments to choose from, but we love that this question will also bring up good times and be nostalgic. See below for full rules!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. As well, Happy Cinco de Mayo, to those who celebrate!

On to this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring another awesome Swoon Patterns project that we had sewn in-house, with our Elixir Collection. Our Elixir Collection is packed with bold purple, navy, and mint hues in fun geometric patterns. The freshness of this collection makes for beautiful accessory and clothing pieces because they add happy pops of color to anything! We decided to use Elixir to create Swoon Pattern’s Vivian Handbag & Traveler.

The large-sized bag would make for the perfect baby bag or weekender tote. The pockets, one located on each side, make for a convenient spot for a baby or water bottle, and the double straps make it easy to carry around. We chose a fun triangle geometric pattern for the body and a more muted, broken herringbone design for the handles and outer shell – a great combination that is playful, but still neutral! We love how this Vivian bag turned out!!

You can find the pattern for the Vivian Handbag & Traveler at Swoon Patterns. It is such a versatile and stylish bag; we are so obsessed with ours!! (psst. Mother’s Day is this weekend!) Elixir will be one of the collections we’ll be featuring at Quilt Market (booth 101), so be sure to stop by to see the Vivian in person. And with that, have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! It was BEAUTIFUL out this weekend – warm and sunny, and it seemed like the whole city was happy and out-and-about. Also, Happy Star Wars Day!! May the 4th be with you :)

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Marvel: Immortals Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, that we officially launched last week. We launched three new “bestseller” collections – bringing back fan favorites of our best designs! Marvel: Immortals features your classic Spider-Man and the awesome Avengers team (Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor) – back at it again for another collection that is bright, and full of awesome-ness. All of your ultimate favorites are here, including the popular comic strip designs.

Topshop Unique Spring 2015 Collection was bold and fabulous! With a 70s “rollerskating gal” inspired feel, this Topshop Collection was all about midriffs, high-waisted pants, mini skirts, cropped jackets, and turtlenecks. The color palette was bright reds and blues, mixed with contrasting burgundy and white. So fun and preppy!! This outfit reminds us of our Marvel: Immortals Collection, from the colors down to its overall “superhero” feel.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! And to all our Star Wars enthusiasts – I’d love to know what you’ll be doing today to celebrate! Have an awesome May the 4th!!

Happy Sewing!
