Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It’s not the best of days here today, dreary and a forecast for rain, but we are feeling great after our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week. If you have not seen all five new collections yet, be sure to check them out here! We also have coordinating free projects for you all, which we are sure you will love. We are also hosting our Licensed Fabrics Giveaway on our Facebook this week, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. The giveaway winner will be announced this Wednesday!

It’s time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! We are featuring one of our empowering collections this week, our Girl Power II by Camelot Design Studio Collection. Our Girl Power II Collection features all of your favorite strong, independent, and gorgeous superheroines – Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl. This collection is all about showcasing strength, determination, and drive…which is showcased brilliantly in this fun and vivaciously-colored collection. The red, blue, and turquoise hues are exciting and bold – characteristics of our favorite superheroines – and the designs capture these gals in action, together and in their dedicated skus. This one is for your own, little superheroines – we love the idea of a Girl Power circle skirt, or an empowering quilt.

Roksanda’s Resort 2015 Collection encapsulates a very comic-book inspired feel that perfectly fits with our Girl Power theme today. Roksanda’s Collection is bold and exciting in color, combinations, and print. We absolutely adore the use of bright colors together, and especially the splattered designs – SO fun and beautiful!! This collection gives off a very strong and powerful feel, and goes very well with our Girl Power Collection. We especially love this one and this one, but you can check out the full collection here.

We hope you have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday. You can check out our full Girl Power II Collection on our website, as well as the coordinating free projects. We’d love to know who your favorite superheroine is. Have a “wonder”ful and “super” day everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! YAY for it being almost the weekend! We have been busy launching our Summer 2014 Collections this week, and we hope you have been liking them!! We would love to know which is your favorite. As well, we are hosting our Facebook Licensed Fabrics Giveaway this week; be sure to enter to win 5 yards of some of our favorite licensed fabrics :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring a really awesome and cool Etsy Shop, The Apron Addict, that sells stunning aprons…and other little gems. Susan Dewolf, owner and designer for The Apron Addict, had been a teacher for over 30 years but has always had a love for fabric & sewing. She decided to follow her passion and do something that she loved – she started The Apron Addict, and it has only expanded in popularity since its open in 2007. Susan creates several different apron designs, all of which are very beautiful and functional. She also makes aprons for kids – so cute!! Susan chooses fabrics that are modern and bright, which makes all of her aprons stylish and fun to wear. These aprons are great for baking or cooking, or for holding all your crafting tools. We absolutely love the bow detailing, so feminine and girly!!

Susan chose our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection and we love the orange & yellow pops – it makes for such a beautiful and elegant apron. No longer are the days for drab and boring aprons; The Apron Addict has the perfect apron for you…and once you get one, you might just get addicted and want one in every design and color ;)

Be sure to check out The Apron Addict for all of Susan’s beautiful apron design, as well as check her out on Facebook. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. Have you been following our Summer 2014 Launch Week? There are 5 new collections for Summer 2014, and we have been launching a new one everyday this week. Be sure to see our latest collection launches on our Facebook, blog, and website. Let us know which is your favorite thus far! And while you’re on our Facebook, be sure to enter our Licensed Fabrics Giveaway – you could win 5 yards of some favorite licenses.

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are taking the time to thank our wonderful friends at Westcott. Westcott has been one of the world’s leading scissors brands for over 140 years. Founded in 1872 by Henry Westcott in Seneca, New York, the Westcott Brand has gone through two World Wars and the Great Depression. Over the years, Westcott has expanded its product range to other cutting tools, office and school supplies, and craft supplies (such as lettering and trimming tools). Their wide range in products has allowed them to enter new markets, however what has stayed the same is their high-quality and well-made products. Westcott is a worldwide, trusted brand for all your cutting tool needs!

Westcott has been super generous and wonderful, as they had provided us with lots of goodies to try out with our fabric and crafting products (felt and ad-fab™). Some of the products that they let us test out were the Trimair Paper Trimmer, Multi-Purpose Trimmer, Titanium Precision Scissors, and extra blades. We have had the best of time getting to test out all the cutting tools, and we can definitely uphold to them being one of the best in the world! The paper trimmers cut through paper seamlessly, and we have been using their scissors for our fabric, ad-fab™, and felt.

Thank you SO much, Westcott, for being so sweet! We have also collaborated with them on a couple of past festivals, such as CreativFest and ScrapFest – we sent them our felt and ad-fab™ for their workshops. As well, look for more collaborations with Westcott and Camelot Fabrics in the near future – we cannot wait!! Have a wonderful day, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s DAY FOUR of our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week! We hope you have enjoying all of our collection launches thus far: Paddington Bear, It’s a Bird’s Life, and London Fog! Be sure to check out our blog posts on them, as well as our website for the full collections and free projects. Also, have you entered our Licensed Fabrics Giveaway yet? Enter to win 5 yards of licensed fabric on our Facebook Page.

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!!
