Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Today is National Summer Leisure Day, so if you’re lucky to have some summer vacation, enjoy today in the beautiful sunshine today!

It’s time for our Winsday! Last week, we hosted an Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page. And, inspired by the sorbet hues of this gorgeous bundle, we wanted to know what your favorite summer treat is. SO many fun comments, from delicious summer eats to activities, and everything in between (with a dash of sewing mixed in too, of course! ;)). We now have a complete list of AWESOME things we need to try, before the summer is over. Thank you! And thank you for entering our luscious giveaway; we are so glad you love this collection! But of course, there could only be one winner… and the winner is…

Congratulations, Allison Church Bird! 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 July 29th, 2015. And a huge thank you to all of yous for entering!! Stay tuned for our next one…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway, so head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

It’s How To’s Day! Today’s tutorial is for a super pretty Bias Trimmed Pillow Sham by Marion of Made by Marion. This bias trimmed pillow sham is a fun twist on your basic pillow cover. Its diagonal design gives the pillow a modern feel, along with the trim detailing and easy back zipper closure. Make two (or more!) and spruce up your bed space – goodbye boring pillow cases, hello gorgeous pillow shams! We chose to feature our Emilia Collection, with its lovely purple and grey hues, which makes for a very feminine and soft look.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was HOT here, but we also unfortunately had some rain. Rain + humidity = not so fun :( How was everyone else’s weekend?

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! And in lieu of launching our Summer 2015 Collections last week, today we are featuring our Under the Sea by Heather Rosas Collection. Under the Sea is our fun and whimsical collection of beautiful mermaids, adorable sea creatures, and super-neat scale prints. From the cheery crabs to the happy fishies, this collection brings us all of the things we love most about the ocean in its coral, green, and aqua hues! We could imagine a little one’s mermaid costume, complete with her own mermaid tail or an “under the sea” inspired bedroom, complete with mermaid pillows and a cozy crab quilt.

Peruvian designer Jessica Butrich’s Spring 2014 collection was very much inspired by the beach. With its cool seafoam and coral colors, effortless crop tops and high-waisted bottoms, and pretty nautical stripes – we could imagine wearing all of her outfits on our next cruise or Mediterranean vacation! We especially adored the design and colors  on this top, which was reminiscent of our beloved crab print. An absolutely stunning outfit! You can also check out the rest of the collection here.

We hope you have enjoyed today’s post! We’d love to know what your ideal vacation would be, and what your dream suitcase would hold inside. We’re going to keep dreaming, haha. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Woo it’s just about the weekend!! We’re also hosting an Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so if you haven’t entered yet, be sure to!

It’s also Fan Friday time! Today we are featuring a super sweet dress sewn by Kreated by Kate, with our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham Collection. Katelyn Boehm, designer and creator behind Kreated by Kate, makes custom hair bows, dresses, tutus, and more for little princesses-at-heart. Her style is very feminine and sweet, which is her source of inspiration when designing and choosing fabrics for her clothing. She loves all the ruffles, all the tulle, and all the pink. Of course, we wholeheartedly think the exact same way. Hehe! ;)

One of Katelyn’s latest dresses is using a Create Kids Couture pattern – the Loretta Dress. The dress features gorgeous ruffle cap sleeves, an empire waist, and an adorable y-back detail. Loretta can also be made into a ruffled-hem maxi dress and top, but Katelyn opted for a shorter version and styled it with little cowboy boots on her daughter. SO cute! She chose our Peacock Garden collection for this dress, with the green prints as the main and some pink for the details. Such a sweet dress!!

Thank you so much, Katelyn, for the fabric love. We cannot get over how adorable your dress is, and of course, how adorable your daughter is wearing it!! And with that, have a great weekend everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

What We Love time… #57 that is ♥ Lots of inspiration from the wonders of mother nature this week. The brief sighting of Pluto this Tuesday (with its lovely heart-shaped bit) was a fascinating look into our mysterious universe.  It makes us realize that there truly is so much more to be discovered around us, on land and up above. From the deep blues of the Mediterranean waters to this captivating Victo Ngai illustration, see what else we’ve been inspired by this week… ♥
