Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! What did you all get up to? Any fun sewing projects that you’ve been working on?

Time for our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Beach House Collection by Jack!e McFee. The Beach House Collection is a gorgeous two colorway collection of coral and tide blue, inspired by the beautiful ocean. This collection includes classic floral patterns, as well as beach glass, seashell, and starfish prints, that will instantly make you feel like you are right on the beach. Some simple tabbed curtains or these cool venn place mats will give your place a beach house feel, without being anywhere near the water! 

Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2015 collection was effortless and cool, with its tailored suits, belted dresses, and clean lines. Her chosen color palette was mainly neutrals – black, beige, burgundy – with a punch of color with her coral floral pattern. We thought it was a super fun design, which was also reminiscent of our Beach House Collection. Whatever Victoria Beckham does, we know it will be on-trend and fabulous, and her Spring 2015 collection does that justice.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! We’d love to know what your favorite thing about the beach is – is it the calming sound of the waves? Or maybe building sandcastles with your little ones? Beach time = happy times. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day!! Today is National Milk Chocolate Day. Milk chocolate is delicious in pretty much any form – milk chocolate bars, milk chocolate cake, milk chocolate ice cream…and the dreamy list goes on and on!

It’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our beloved free pillow patterns on our website, the Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum. Elevation is a beautiful modern pillow that creates a super cool “graph-like” design, while keeping the rest clean space. This pillow pattern allows for the sewer to mix-and-match different fabrics together, as the design is made up of smaller triangles. We love keeping each etched “line” more uniform in color, to separate the three individual lines, which creates a really cool feel.

We’ve had Elevation sewn up quite a few times, but we thought we’d share a classic favorite – with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. We adore how the whimsical prints look together in this one!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! We had beautiful weather here, perfect for lots of swimming and refreshing lemonade! :)

And speaking of bright and citrus-y things, it’s time to start off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our wonderful Pink Lemonade Collection by Ciana Bodini for Camelot Fabrics. Pink Lemonade is our punchy, happy, and sweet collection of lemons, lemons, and more lemons! Delicious lemon wedges are combined with soft hues of pink & grey to create a super fun & cheery collection. Perfect for a summer party or citrus-inspired room, our Pink Lemonade would make a beautiful quilt. fabric napkins, and apron.

Kate Spade’s Spring 2014 collection was just a color- and print-infused as usual! Among the crisp teals, pinks, and red were punches of sweet lemon prints, combined with Kate Spade’s infamous super girly style. We fell in love with this outfit – because I mean, when life gives you lemons…wear a lemon-printed dress, with a matching pair of tennis shoes, visor, and bag, right? Right! ;)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what quirky prints you love to wear or would love to try. Have a sweet rest of the day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was HOT here, but we also unfortunately had some rain. Rain + humidity = not so fun :( How was everyone else’s weekend?

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! And in lieu of launching our Summer 2015 Collections last week, today we are featuring our Under the Sea by Heather Rosas Collection. Under the Sea is our fun and whimsical collection of beautiful mermaids, adorable sea creatures, and super-neat scale prints. From the cheery crabs to the happy fishies, this collection brings us all of the things we love most about the ocean in its coral, green, and aqua hues! We could imagine a little one’s mermaid costume, complete with her own mermaid tail or an “under the sea” inspired bedroom, complete with mermaid pillows and a cozy crab quilt.

Peruvian designer Jessica Butrich’s Spring 2014 collection was very much inspired by the beach. With its cool seafoam and coral colors, effortless crop tops and high-waisted bottoms, and pretty nautical stripes – we could imagine wearing all of her outfits on our next cruise or Mediterranean vacation! We especially adored the design and colors  on this top, which was reminiscent of our beloved crab print. An absolutely stunning outfit! You can also check out the rest of the collection here.

We hope you have enjoyed today’s post! We’d love to know what your ideal vacation would be, and what your dream suitcase would hold inside. We’re going to keep dreaming, haha. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!
