Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope everyone had a great week – any fun plans for the weekend? We’re hoping for some mild weather, with a touch of pretty flurries, so that we can go skating! Yup, the winter can be horrid…but there are definitely a lot of fun that comes with it too. Getting excited for all the winter activities!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! This week, we are featuring an awesome project from Isabelle Lachance. Isabelle loves making things with fabrics of fun, bright colors and nostalgic cartoons. She is a fabric enthusiast and enjoys making things & sewing, and decided to open up an Etsy Shop to share her creations. Creationilo is the name of her shop, which perfectly encapsulates her love for being creative and unique, handmade items.

She adores our Betty Boop Collection and decided to use our yellow filmstrip design to create a fun, placemat pouch. It is such a great and multi-purposed idea – you can carry your utensils in your lunch bag and use it as a placement, all in one!  We love the convenience of her placemat pouch, and adore the vibrant, yellow Betty Boop print she chose. The pop of hot pink is a fantastic touch too!

You can check out Isabelle’s Etsy Shop for her awesome Betty Boop placement pouch, as well as for more cool goodies. Thank you for the fabric love, Isabelle – we are so glad you love our Betty Boop Collection! And have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We are halfway into the work week, and we received a lovely surprise last night. Snow!! And not just any kind of snow, but the best kind of snow to make snowmen and have snowball fights with. Oh, glorious white confetti! It’s unfortunately turning into slush this afternoon, but we’re crossing our fingers for more pretty white stuff soon!

It’s time to announce this week’s Winsday! We hosted our bi-weekly giveaway on our blog this week, and were so enthused by all the amazing people who participated. In the midst of Thanksgiving, we wanted to know what you were most thankful for this year…and we received the most heartfelt, “feel good” replies that truly made us smile. So thank YOU for making our days, by sharing your wonderful stories and memories with us.

The prize is our Spectrum FQ bundle this week, a collection that is sure to brighten the lucky winner’s day!! We used good ol’ random.org to choose the winner, and the lucky gal is…

Congratulations, Beth Sebastian! We are so excited for you!! We really hope you enjoy playing and creating with our bundle of joy. And a huge thank you to everyone who participated – we appreciate it more than you know! Stay tuned for our next #Winsday…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far, and didn’t go too crazy with yesterday’s Cyber Monday. If you did, no worries…it’s the last day to enter our Winsday, and we are giving away our Spectrum FQ Bundle this week. Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our fantastic No Sew Mod Tote on the blog. This adorable tote is a no-sew project, so it is the perfect beginner craft and for making with kids. As well, the mod look makes it super stylish and classic – the ideal bag for carrying your lunch with you!

The ducked tape interior is great for any spills because you can easily wipe it away clean with a cloth. Super convenient, super easy to make, and super stylish – what more could you want? :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! And Happy December!! It’s the official 25 day countdown to Christmas, and we are so incredibly excited!! We’ve got lots of fun and exciting things planned for the blog, so stay tuned. It’s going to be a wonderful holiday season!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with Coraline by Camelot Design Studio – a collection of grey, navy, and coral hues in prints of drops, lattices, ombre, and chevrons. This collection is very feminine and sweet, and would make for the prettiest little girl’s dress for a tea party…or everyday dress-up! We could imagine our Coraline Collection in some beautiful tabbed curtains or simple pillows to add some prettiness to any room. Such an elegant collection that is sure to please any peony-loving, tea-loving gal! :)

We adore this Spring 2015 RTW Collection by Orla Kiely, a collection full of pretty pastels in bold geometric prints and patterns that remind us of all the wonders of springtime. Super girly and playful, this collection includes adorable shift dresses, cropped pants, and midriff outfits accessorized with peter pan collars, bows, and floral pumps. Such a cute collection – and the floral backdrop is the cherry on top! We adore this coral printed dress, that reminds us of our Coraline Collection. Check out the rest of the collection here!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Let the Christmas countdown commence… have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
