Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It was Quilt Market weekend for us, and boy, was it an incredible one!! We have SO much to share with you..so stay tuned for a QM recap post on the blog.

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Not sure if you noticed some new pretties on our website, but we’ve launched our Spring 2015 Collections last week. We’ll be posting about each collection on the blog soon, but if you’d like to check them all out, be sure to have a look at our New Arrivals. Magnolia is one of our newest collections, by Alisse Courter for Camelot Fabrics. Magnolia is a gorgeous mustard, grey, and pink collection of pretty florals and leaf prints. The soft and feminine patterns make this collection perfect for an equally feminine project – a brunch dress or baking apron would look wonderful in these prints.

Giamba’s Spring 2015 Collection was ethereal and feminine, just like Magnolia. Lots of beautiful floral prints and soft pastels dressed each model, each with a 70s twist – complete with platforms and dotted tights. We were especially intrigued by this dress, which was reminiscent of our Magnolia Collection with the soft pink floral pattern. Love!  

We hope you’ve found some inspiration in today’s post! We’d love to know what you think about our Magnolia Collection. Stay tuned for more on our latest collections… Have a good one!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had an amazing week. We are currently at Quilt Market, Day 1, so be sure to stop by and say hi – booth #101!

Time to end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely Wilksten Tank made by Melissa Karpetz. Wilksten is a wonderful online shop selling ethically-made (and mostly handmade!) clothing pieces, accessories (hats, ornaments), and patterns. Wilksten is run by a husband-wife doctor/pattern-making designer duo who “seek to encourage thoughtful buying by giving our customers a personal connection to their purchases”. Melissa is a home sewer who shares her creations on Instagram, one being the Wilksten Tank she created with our Cove Collection. She chose a cozy turquoise and grey geometric pattern that works really well with the flowy tank – perfect to match with a pair of white pants and wedges. Our Cove Collection has a sea-inspired feel to it, so it was a perfect choice for the tank.

We really love this tank, Melissa, so thank you for sharing it with us! And thank you for the fabric love. We can think of lots of fun ways to style it for the Spring and Summer, such a great essential. You can find more from Melissa on Instagram. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful Winsday!! Today is also National Apple Pie Day – uhhh, YUM! There’s never been an apple pie I had that I did not like. Nothing better than a warm slice of apple heaven, wrapped up in a flaky crust and some ice cream…

Time to announce the winner of our Mother’s Day Winsday! This week, we hosted a Wildflowers FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, inspired by our mums for Mother’s Day. We asked you what your favorite mommy-and-me memory was, whether as a child or more recent. We had so much fun reading all of the replies, and am sure it took you all down memory lane a bit… It was also a great way for us to think about our favorite moments with our moms. Definitely too many, but there are a couple that are very special to us. Love our moms!! 

Of course, we could only choose one winner for our giveaway! With the help of our friend Mr. random.org, the winner of our Wildflowers FQ Bundle is…

Congratulations, Nicole!! You are the winner of our Wildflowers FQ Bundle. We are so excited for you, and can’t wait to see what you create. Please send us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by May 20th, 2015. A huge thank you to everyone who entered our giveaway. There’s lots more to come, so don’t worry!! Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are doing fantastic today! I want to wish all of the incredible nurses a Happy Nurse’s Day – we appreciate you, you are amazing, thank you for all that you do.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an adorable Made by Rae little girl’s dress pattern that we had sewn up in-house (thanks, Tammy!), featuring our Pastel Me More Collection. Our Pastel Me More collection is just as the name suggests – beautiful pastel hues of blue, yellow, pink, and muted purple in fun geometric prints. The pastels work really well together to create unique color combinations, that are fun and girly. The happy colors in Pastel Me More are perfect for clothing, such as Made by Rae’s Geranium Dress.

We adore the versatility of the Geranium Dress, with the pattern including a range in sizes (newborn to kid’s size 12!), as well as different sleeve options (flutter sleeve, sleeveless, or faux cap sleeve). The Geranium Dress is the perfect everyday dress for your little one to go to school in or play at the park in. It ‘s such as sweet dress that can be worn casually, but also for a “nicer” event…while still feeling comfortable (which I know, is important for little ones!). We chose a blue and yellow triangle print for the bodice and pockets, and a contrasting yellow skirt, both from Pastel Me More. Super cute!! 

You can find the full pattern for Made By Rae’s Geranium Dress here. You can also find more from Made by Rae on her blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!
