Welcome!

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 Friday! I hope you’re having a good one. Wishing you all a fun-filled, maybe sew-filled, weekend :)

But before we go, let’s end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some pretty makeup bags from Alex of godiesew on Instagram. From Alex’s feed, we can definitely tell she has quite the passion for sewing and fabric – we can relate hehe. She shares her latest fabric finds and sewing projects (and the occasional sweet kittie picture) on her Instagram, including these makeup bags featuring yours truly. We can spot two of our collections – Let’s Go and the Design Studio Collection! Each makeup bag features a coordinating zipper and metallic leather bottom, which really adds a fun element to them. Such sweet bags!

Thank you for the fabric love, Alex. And thank you for mentioning us on Instagram! If you would like to featured in a future Fan Friday, you can send your photos to info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us on Instagram. It always makes us smile to see the love that you all put in your projects & fabric choices. Have an amazing weekend!!

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!
