Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of winter wonderland, starting off with our Moody Monday feature. Today we showcase our mysterious & feminine Elixir collection, which is reflected beautifully in this dazzling gown from Dennis Basso’s Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection. We’re utterly enchanted with the subtle sparkle and liquid drape of this dress, especially when paired with a luxurious furry wrap.

We adore the decadent elegance of Basso’s line for this coming Spring. All those gorgeous textures! Mmmmm …

Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday as much as we have, and happy sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! So excited that it’s just about the weekend. We’ve made it through our first week back!! We hope everyone had a pleasant one :)

It’s time to end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a stunning Nightfall Dress created by the awesome sewing-related blog, Sew It Up. Sew It Up is run by two crafty ladies, Caroline, who owns her own business, and Hanne, a part-time visual arts/sewing teacher. They created Sew It Up to showcase their creativity and love for all things sewing & fabric related. They offer sewing contests for those in Belgium and the Netherlands, with different themes, where participants can join in and share their creations. Each participant is able to showcase their unique talents and skills, and allows them to come together in the ever-growing sewing community. We think that is such a fantastic idea, and love the idea of showcasing others’ talents to fellow sewers.

A recent contest was to create a New Year’s Eve inspired outfit! They created a stunning party dress with our Nightfall Collection and we just had to share it with you all! They used the Kim Dress Pattern by By Hand London which looks incredible with our metallic fabric. From the sweetheart neckline to the semi-capped sleeves to the pockets, everything about this dress is oh-so-lovely and the epitome of being the perfect party dress. We adore how sophisticated it becomes with the simple addition of a blazer. But on it’s own, the metallic printed fabric definitely gives this dress “knockout” status. It is divine!

We want to thank Sew It Up for the fabric love – we are so happy that you love our fabric and chose it for your NYE party dress! We are so happy that we got to see the dress. Seeing our fabric collections turn into physical projects is the best feeling in the world! You can check out more from Sew It Up and their contests on their blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

And if you ever create a project with one of our Free Projects or fabric collections, we would LOVE to see. You can also send your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a great day thus far. Today we woke up to a breezy -26C, with a windchill of -36C. Hello frozen face, frozen legs, and frozen toes. Oh man, it was NOT pleasant to be walking out there.

But we’re warming things up with some love today, with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our project designers, Cindy of Quilt Doodle Designs. Cindy has always been a sewing enthusiast, having been encouraged by her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She learnt about sewing and quilting as a small child, and her love for the craft has only blossomed into adulthood. Cindy has been doing some quilt sketches before a quilt retreat, when the idea to bring “sketches to life”, with creating her own patterns, came to life! She started Quilt Doodle Designs to offer her fun and whimsical quilt patterns and appliques to a wide array of skilled quilters. Cindy now offers a multitude of different quilt patterns, in correlation with her quilt blog adventures & BOMs.

We had the pleasure of working with Cindy to create a free, exclusive quilt pattern for our Free Projects Program. We absolutely adore her Flower Power Quilt because it is unique and soso pretty. We love the flower appliques, and think it looks wonderful with our Petite Plume Collection. Such a whimsical and creative quilt design! You can find the free pattern for Flower Power on our website here.

Thank you SO much Cindy for the wonderful quilt design. You can find more from Cindy on her website and blog. She is also on Craftsy and Pattern Spot. Be sure to check out Flower Power and all of our other free projects too. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We posted our very first How To’s Day of 2015 yesterday, and it’s an awesome one! We shared our DIY Essentials Case Tutorial that we are sure you will absolutely love – click HERE for the full tutorial.

The holidays are officially over, and so are our holiday giveaways. Today we are announcing the two winners to our Peacock Garden and Kate Giveaways that we hosted on our Facebook and Instagram pages, respectively.

We won’t be running out of holiday movies or treats for Christmas 2015. We want to say thank you to everyone who participated our two holiday giveaways; we absolutely love hosting our Winsdays and are so happy that you enjoy them (and our fabric collections). But now, our two lucky winners are…
