Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you all are feeling fabulous today. But if you’re not, we’re about to make your day a little brighter with this week’s Winsday!

Yup, that’s right…it’s time for another Winsday! This week, we will be giving away our Elixir FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. Fun note, our Elixir Collection features the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year… Radiant Orchid. It is such a pretty and vivacious purple color, and it was definitely one of our favorites. Pantone had recently launched its 2015 Spring Colors – Aquamarine, Scuba Blue, Lucite Green, Classic Blue, Toasted Almond, Strawberry Ice, Tangerine, Custard, Marsala, Glacier Gray – and chose Marsala as its 2015 Color of the Year.

To enter our Elixir FQB Giveaway, we want to know what YOUR favorite Pantone Spring 2015 Color is. Below we have provided an image with all the colors, so you can easily make your pick. And remember, it doesn’t have to be Marsala. Chose the one you like best! (You can also click HERE and the jpeg will pop-up into a new window)

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a nice day. It’s super cold here today, but we’re enjoying the sunshine from indoors haha. Oh! And, as if we even needed a reason for cake, it’s National Chocolate Cake Day. Cake, we’re coming from you!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we’re bringing to you our super useful tutorial for a turning a seam to a slit, while avoiding any exposed edges. If you’ve ever wanted to create a slit at the back of a pencil skirt or simply wanted to alter a project by creating a slit, this From Seam to Slit tutorial will guide you in doing so, the easy way! The end result will be a clean seam, with the raw edges tucked away perfectly. And at the end of the tutorial, we’ve offered a cumulative jpeg of the steps that you can be printed out.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Did anyone work on some fun sewing projects? We would love to know!!

It’s time for some daily inspiration with this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio collection. Rise & Shine is a gorgeous collection of lattice, diamond, and trellis, and tweed geometrics. This collection is just bursting with wonderful turquoise, grey, and yellow hues that make you feel calm and happy. Our Rise & Shine designs would make for a beautiful mod-styled dress or circle skirt. As well, we adore the idea of fresh pops of turquoise and yellow in a neutral room, such as a Rise & Shine quilt or pillow.

Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection is getting us super excited for fall fashion! The warm navy, burgundy, and grey hues are stunning together and make for a very polished look. This collection consisted of lots of lovely floral prints, preppy stripes, and 50s silhouettes. We are in love with this cute dress, that reminds us of the diamonds print from our Rise & Shine Collection. You can find the full collection here.

We hope you have been inspired this week. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Hope everyone had a fantastic week – we’re excited for the weekend though! Today happens to be one of our favorite days…National Pie Day. YUM!! Apple pie, pecan pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, key-lime pie…yup, we could go on haha, but it’s just making us want pie even more! :)

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super awesome What’s Cookin’ project from Shanna of This Joyful Home. In 2005, Shanna noticed the limited selection of baby carriers available, and even so, were uncomfortable. She decided to use her own experiences with baby carriers to make her own design. Thus, her business Sweet Slings, LLC was born! In 2007, she moved and again found herself searching for products of limited supply or style. She decided to expand her product line to wet bags for cloth diapers, coordinating kitchen cloths, table runners, burlap mats, and more, and is relaunched as This Joyful Home.

Shanna used our What’s Cookin’ Collection for her Wet Bags, and we love it! They are perfect for hanging in a nursery or kitchen to easy put cloth diapers into, and come with accompanying wet cloths. Our What’s Cookin’ Collection make the bags modern and fun, so they look pretty hanging in a room vs. being an eyesore. Great choice, Shanna! :)

Thank you so much, Shanna, for the fabric love! We are so happy you love our What’s Cookin’ Collection for your Wet Bags. We adore the idea! You can find more from Shanna from her Etsy Shop andFacebook Page. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for our What We Love #32 ♥ As we come to the end of our first month in 2015, we are taking the time to reorganize our thoughts and goals. With a new year and “new year resolutions”, sometimes we can make unrealistic goals for ourselves, which in turn can lead to disappointment. We are looking at the goals we set for ourselves, and choosing the ones that will make us “better”, but that are achievable within a year. This week, we have been inspired by some of our January experiences, and of course, the pretty things around us. See what we have been loving most… ♥

Vanessa: Donuts
Valeria: Cacti Sugar Cookies
Marion: How to Decoupage Furniture
Shannen: Vérité | Echo EP
Juan: Gourmet Burger

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s What We Love! We’d love to know what you have been loving most. As always, be sure to check out our Pinterest for more inspiration from us ♥
