Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are having a great day. Another Tuesday, another fun DIY project for you all..
Yup, that’s right! It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our beautiful No-Sew Pillow Tutorial. This relatively simple project is especially perfect for beginners, who are just starting to get into the crafting world. This tutorial does not require a ton of time to make, so it’s a great project for transforming any interior space. Having guests over but want to quickly spruce up your living room? Need to film a pretty, but quick DIY project for a friend? Feeling crafty, but don’t have a sewing machine? This is the project for you! (…and anyone else just looking for a fun project to try! ;))
Make a plethora of them and pile them all together on the floor to lie in! So so comfy! As well, we shared our No-Sew Pillow with our Pastel Me More Collection – the colors are fresh, happy, and exuberant – but this pillow would look amazing with any print.

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 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 had so much fun reading all of your comments – we saw our favorite holiday movies & treats being listed, but there were also lots of new ones we’d never heard of before…but definitely want to! 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…
AND…
Congratulations to Jo Anne Glassburn and @rebmartin!! We hope that you enjoy our collections and have fun playing with them! Please email us your mailing information to info@camelotfabrics.com. And once again, thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our giveaways. We’ll definitely be hosting many more in 2015, so no worries. Have a great day, everyone! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Just a reminder: our two holiday giveaways are ending tomorrow…so be sure to get in on the fun if you haven’t yet! You can enter our Kate Giveaway on our Instagram, and our Peacock Garden Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Good Luck!
New Year, New Projects! It’s time to kick-start 2015 with our first How To’s Day. Today we are sharing our DIY Essentials Case – the perfect little companion for all your traveling and organizing needs. This awesome essentials case is perfect for traveling – put all your most used items into one pouch for easy access. So convenient! We know traveling can be super stressful, so compartmentalizing your items can be a real time- and stress-saver!
As well, our Essentials Case makes for a fantastic pencil case or cosmetics case, with its convenient size and soft shape. It also makes for a great case for holding all your beloved sewing supplies. And, not such a fan of daily household items looking “out of place” in your decor? We also love the idea of using our case to cover a baby wipes container or a stack of tissues!
We’ve included two versions of our Essentials Case, so with just an added step, you’ve got two case tutorials in one!
