Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a great day – it’s National Pastry Day…which means we should probably get ourselves some yummy treats. I mean, it’s a national holiday…so we have to, right? ;) We’ll take an apple and cheese turnover, with extra whipped cream please!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a super stylish tutorial for our Twin Pillows. Changing up your pillows, whether it be your couch or bed pillows, are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add some new flair to a space. We love rotating pillows for the different seasons and holidays, as it gives us a fun opportunity to decorate often, while being budget-friendly. Making your own pillows also allows you to choose the designs and colors you want so that the decor you’ve envisioned can come to life…

We adore our Twin Pillows Tutorial because they are unique, modern, and you create (for those who like quicker projects) two pillows from one tutorial. We also provide two different versions in the tutorial, so you can mix it up and have an array of beautiful pillows for your home! We love it with our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee collection, because the white and black prints can be incorporated into just about any decor.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and are having a good day back. It’s been chilly these days, but that didn’t stop us from heading out for some winter fun! Early Christmas celebrations, ice skating, and delicious crepes were some of our favorite activities from the weekend.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Botanical Collection by Alisse Courter. Botanical is a wonderful collection of all things flora – the intricate floral, leaves, twigs, and damask prints are all stunning in a green, grey, and golden color palette. This brooding collection is warm and captivating, the rich tones reminding us of all things woods-y and autumnal. Botanical would make for a wonderful shift dress, for a garden party, with an accompanying headpiece. And how majestic would a Botanical quilt be, as a bed cover or wall decor – oh, so divine!

We adore Noon by Noor‘s Spring 2014 collection – it had a wonderfully feminine and soft feel to it, in both colors and texture. Silks, rose ruffles, tulle, extravagant jewels, and flora patterns were impeccable and made us want to twirl around & dance in any of the outfits! They were made for a magical night out. We especially adore this leaf printed dress, that reminds us of our Botanical Collection. We would definitely wear this stunning dress to our next fancy affair! ;)

We hope we have added a boost to your day, and have inspired you with our Moody Monday! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope everyone had a great week – any fun plans for the weekend? We’re hoping for some mild weather, with a touch of pretty flurries, so that we can go skating! Yup, the winter can be horrid…but there are definitely a lot of fun that comes with it too. Getting excited for all the winter activities!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! This week, we are featuring an awesome project from Isabelle Lachance. Isabelle loves making things with fabrics of fun, bright colors and nostalgic cartoons. She is a fabric enthusiast and enjoys making things & sewing, and decided to open up an Etsy Shop to share her creations. Creationilo is the name of her shop, which perfectly encapsulates her love for being creative and unique, handmade items.

She adores our Betty Boop Collection and decided to use our yellow filmstrip design to create a fun, placemat pouch. It is such a great and multi-purposed idea – you can carry your utensils in your lunch bag and use it as a placement, all in one!  We love the convenience of her placemat pouch, and adore the vibrant, yellow Betty Boop print she chose. The pop of hot pink is a fantastic touch too!

You can check out Isabelle’s Etsy Shop for her awesome Betty Boop placement pouch, as well as for more cool goodies. Thank you for the fabric love, Isabelle – we are so glad you love our Betty Boop Collection! And have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s National Cookie Day – and all we can say to that is…where are the cookies?! Haha! Bring on the oatmeal, chocolate chip and macadamia nuts cookies pleaseee. YUM!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week we are featuring one of our fantastic project designers…Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter! Together Stephanie and Michelle, both fabric and quilting enthusiasts & mums, own and operate Late Night Quilter – a professional longarm quilting and pattern design company, and accompanying blog! The Late Night Quilter blog is a wonderful quilting haven that is dedicated to quilting projects and tutorials, all things modern & pretty, and longarm quilting services. They are focused on sharing their quilting tips and tricks, their latest quilting creations, and inspiring others with their love for fabric.

We had the lovely opportunity of working with Stephanie on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. Stephanie created three modern, whimsical quilt designs for us and we adore them all! They all embrace the esthetic that is Camelot Fabrics and showcases our fun fabric collections wonderfully. The first is a beautiful quilted pillow pattern called High Tide – a pillow design of diagonal pieces that create interesting triangle and trapezoid shapes. It’s a great pillow for showing a multitude of patterns, such as our London Fog Collection, in a cool way.

The second pattern is a stunning quilt design called Summer on the Sound, a pattern of pretty starbursts. We adore how it looks with our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection, focusing on the beautiful pinks and greens while keeping the rest neutral. Saybrook Island is another quilt pillow that creates a gorgeous, symmetrical  “leaf like” pattern – we think it looks perfect with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection! [CLICK TO SEE MORE]
