It’s time for our What We Love #16 ♥ This week on our Pinterest Boards, we (the Camelot Design Studio) have been busy pinning away all the things that have inspired us most. We have been greatly been influenced by intricate and unique patterns & bold colorways. As Fall is quickly approaching, our inspirations have started to lean more towards cozier and richer images, getting us ready for the colder season. We absolutely adore this print of the Moon and Earth, these stunning marmalade jars, these enticing textile moths by Yumi Okita, this amazing textiles shop in Colombia, and plaid/pleather combinations for Autumn. Check out our images for even more visual prettiness… ♥

We hope we have inspired you today!! You can check out our Pinterest Boards, where we share even more of the things that we adore most. We would love to know what has been inspiring you most as of late! Here’s to enjoying the last couple of days of Summer ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope you all had a fantastic week – we are so happy for the long weekend… means extra time for sewing projects, quilting, and crafting! Anyone working on any fun projects this weekend? We’d love to know :)

Time for our weekly Fan Friday, and today we’re sharing the perfect project to kick start this long weekend. When we saw this In The Navy bunting banner by Little Birds Boutique, we knew we just had to share. Fran, owner and designer at Little Birds Boutique, is a Landscape Architect by profession. In 2007, she became a full-time stay-at-home mommy to her 3 year old twins. She started sewing after the birth of her girls, and never looked back. Her passion for sewing continued, and she began Little Birds Boutique as a way to share her creations with the world.

She started with bibs and blankets, but quickly expanded to kid’s clothing, headbands, bags, and even more adorable accessories for little kiddos. She loves the whole spectrum of running her business, from the initial design to the final product being sent out to its new home. And when she’s not sewing for her business, she’s still sewing things for her family – needless to say, she found her true calling!

We were so thrilled to see that Fran used our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection for her bunting banners. They look so fun and happy, perfect for a nautical-themed party or nursery room!! We love that she chose a fun mix of all the patterns, keeping it fresh with the navy and hot pink color scheme. As well, we love that the top stitch, though a necessity, also adds a fun element to the banner with its zig-zag pattern. We absolutely adore this bunting banner, and could imagine it brightening up any space – love the idea of it being above a bed or strung along a crib!

We want to thank you, Fran, for the fabric love and for using our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection for your beautiful bunting banners. Be sure to check out Fran’s Etsy Shop Little Birds Boutique, for an abundance of other goodies, as well as her accompanying Facebook Page. Have a wonderful long weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Here’s to the start of another great week – can’t believe that it’s almost mid-August. Where do the days go? We’re trying to enjoy the last bits of hot weather – swimming, going to the beach, refreshing frozen yogurt, and shopping were some of our plans this weekend. What were some of your weekend adventures? Also, in case you’ve got a case of the Monday blues, we’ve got our Frolicking Forest Giveaway for you on our Facebook Page. Be sure to head on over there to enter!

Let’s get inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our London Fog by Camelot Design Studio Collection with you. London Fog is a classic palette of warm mustard, navy, gray, and a splash of mint. Ruched, tweed, and pretty geometric patterns make this collection contemporary, yet playful. There is a rustic and cozy feel to London Fog, which reminds us of those rainy days spent indoors snuggling into a knitted blanket with a great book and some warm tea. We can imagine a beautiful shift dress or robe in our London Fog’s turquoise and navy print, a men’s tie in contemporary colours, and a modern geometric-infused quilt for a couch accent or bedspread. London Fog is one dashing and classic-feeling collection!

Even though we are still enjoying our summertime, we are starting to think about the transitional period between Summer and Autumn weather. During that time, colors will darken and become more muted. We love the idea of Fall textures and colors with a summer-appropriate outfit, such as a light blouse and a tweed skirt or a t-shirt dress and a utility vest. These simple changes can take your summer wardrobe into the Fall without completely changing your style, or disregarding your Summer items! By mixing and matching Summer and Fall pieces, you’ll get the perfect transitional outfits for Autumn weather.

The outfit below is a perfect example of that – a light, mustard-color blouse and a tweed & leather mini skirt makes this a great transition-into-Fall outfit. Add some black tights and over-the-knee boots and you’ve got yourself a Fall outfit! The patterns and colors in this outfit remind us of our London Fog Collection, and it has definitely inspired us to create our own transitional outfits using our Summer wardrobe. You can check out the full London Fog Collection here!

We hope you have enjoyed, and have been inspired by, this week’s Moody Monday!! We’d love to know how you slowly transition your style from Summer to Autumn! Have a great day, everyone :)

Happy Sewing!

Today, we have got our fourth collection to share…Pastel Me More by Camelot Design Studio!! Our Pastel Me More Collection is the epitome of all things girly, pretty, flirty, and of course, pastel! What could be better on a warm Summer’s day than a bike ride with friends (pastel vintage bicycles of course!) wearing your favorite tea dresses, and ending the day with some yummy sorbet? Or maybe a pink & sprinkled donut…or both? We could definitely concur to an afternoon like that! Pastel Me More is a feminine collection of soft pink, yellow, grey, and blue hues together to create gorgeous floral and geometric patterns. This collection reminds us a sweet, bakery shop so we love the idea of a confectionery-filled Summer party – cupcakes, cookies, donuts, macaroons, and cotton candy – decorated with a pastel-hued table runner and matching napkins. Such a fun (and yummy) idea!

Our Pastel Me More is such a fun and vibrant collection that could liven any room or space! We love the idea of a neutral room with a punch of color, such as a Pastel Me More pillow or quilt. We adore this Box Trot Quilt by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs:

We would love to know what you think about our Pastel Me More Collection!! What would your favorite confectionery to indulge in? :) It would definitely be a toss up between cotton candy, cookies, and donuts at the Camelot Design Studio. Check out all the free projects and complete collection on our website. Be sure to check out our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for lots more. Stay tuned for the last collection of our launch week tomorrow!!
