Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It isn’t the greatest of weather here today, but gosh is it hot and humid!! It’s days like these where all we want to do is stay indoors with the good ol’ AC :)

To liven things up a little bit here, we have our How To’s Day for you! With Summer officially here, that definitely means enduring in more outdoor activities…especially all things water-related! So excited for Summer days of swimming at the lake, catching up on a good book at the beach, and maybe even having a jet-ski adventure (…depending on how brave we’re feeling that day haha!). We always love a little nautical for the Summer, especially in fashion and décor. Who wouldn’t want to wear a navy and white striped dress and big floppy hat while cruising on the lake in a boat? Um, where do we sign up? :) But if you aren’t planning an adventure of the sorts this Summer either, have no fear…today’s How To’s Day is bringing the water to you!

Today we are sharing our tutorial on our Anchor Pillow, featuring our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection. And these two couldn’t be more fitting; our In The Navy collection features anchors, stripes, and dots in a fun navy, pink, and metallic gold color combination! We love the idea of a nautical-inspired guest bedroom or family room – add some decorative shells, some wood paneling, and a couple of our Anchor pillows on a striped couch…and you are all ready to set sail (…or at least it will feel that way haha!). Finish off the look for a nautical-inspired quilt, or two.

Check out the full tutorial for our Anchor Pillow HERE! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a blissful start to the week. We cannot believe that Christmas is officially a month away (seriously, where did the time go?!). We are so excited and happily getting into the holiday spirit, but there is still much to do! We’ve got lots of beautiful DIY projects in the works though…the perfect gifts for anyone!

And to add a little inspiration to your day, we’ve got today’s Moody Monday for you. Today we are sharing with you our The Design Studio Collection moodboard! The Design Studio Collection is a brilliant and bold collection, not just in color but also in print and patterns. The collection is a wonderful mix of chevrons, herringbone, hexagon, and fan prints in unexpected black, grey, yellow, and turquoise color combinations. The designs are vibrant and exuberant, adding some cheer to any home decor or wardrobe project! Have we got your gears turning for some amazing DIY gifts planned? ;)

Our eclectic collection is reminiscent of Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2013 RTW collection. Oscar used a mix of black, turquoise, yellow, and pink hues in his garments but varied with bold patterns. The silhouettes were classic and simple, but the fantastical prints made them even more special. The thick black stripes, the tulle turquoise dresses, and the ensembles of grey & yellow mixes make for the perfect supplement to our The Design Studio Collection! Be sure to check out the full Oscar de la Renta collection here.

We hope our collection and moodboard has given you a bit of inspiration this Monday! Here’s to a great start to another wonderful week. Until next time!

Happy Sewing!
