Hi everyone,
Happy Monday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to week so far. We can’t believe that it’s the last week of November – only 30 more days till Christmas!! Our holiday festivities are starting next week, so we are busy preparing for everything – decorations, baking, festive music – we are oh-so excited!!
It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with one of our collections called Playground by Vita Mechachonis. Playground is a super fun collection reminiscing to all the things we love most about our childhood, outdoor adventures. From playground rides to balloons to hopscotch, our Playground collection will bring you back to childhood memories. Mixed with whimsical numbers, chevrons, and flowers in a muted orange, blue, and yellow color palette…this collection is sure to please kids of all ages! We love the idea of our Tiny Adventurer’s Dress or Tunic & Bloomers in our playful collection!!
Olympia Le-Tan‘s Spring 2015 RTW Collection is so playful, fun, and carnival-inspired…and we just love it!! From the candy stripes to the “grown-up” overall ensembles, this collection is so whimsical, upbeat, and happy, and brings us back to the ‘good ol’ days’ in the best way possible. We especially adore the number-printed outfit that reminds us of our Playground Collection! Be sure to check out the full collection here.
We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your favorite childhood game was :) Have a wonderful rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday!! We hope you are having a wonderful end to the week. We are looking forward to spending our weekend working on some projects and drinking hot cocoa by the fire! :)
It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday, and today we have a really awesome one to share. Plus, there’s a great giveaway too…so keep reading till the end ;) Today we are featuring two fantastic people: Companie M., pattern designer of the Lotta Skirt, and Fruits de Mère, who made the Lotta Skirt in our Nightfall Collection! The Lotta Skirt is a beautiful, gathered skirt with fun pocket details and a relaxed-fit waist. The pattern features two variations for both little girls and adults, and can be made unlined to wear during the warmer months.
This stunning Lotta Skirt was created by the wonderful pattern designer, Marte of Companie M., who creates patterns that are easy-to-follow and accommodating for everyone. As well, her patterns are featured in both English and Dutch. Marte started her business by sharing her creations on her blog, an adventure that eventually became a successful, new venture! She has the so many amazing patterns too, which you can check out here.
Annelies, from the blog Fruits de Mère, created a Nightfall version of the Lotta Skirt and it is just absolutely stunning. We love that she chose the herringbone print, which makes it the perfect festive skirt for all your upcoming holiday parties!! We also loved how she styled her outfit, keeping everything else neutral to have the Nightfall skirt be the “showstopper”.
We want to say a huge THANK YOU to Marte because we are hosting a blog giveaway to win her Lotta Skirt Pattern!! As well, Marte is offering our readers a coupon at her shop – use the code CAMELOT to receive a 10% discount (ends November 30th, 2014). See below on how to enter our Giveaway:

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. So much wind here today! The sun is out and there’s snow on the ground…but it’s freezing out there, so we’re glad to be inside. It’s the last day to enter our Fresh Solids Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. It’s a good one, guys!
And speaking of our Fresh Solids…this week’s How To’s Day features our stunning solids in our New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made. Sarah Laws created a couple of wonderful exclusive free quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program, which we are so incredibly enthused to share with you. Sarah’s style is modern and fresh, characteristics that embody who we are at Camelot Fabrics so we were thrilled to work with such a creative pattern designer. Our New Bohemian Quilt is a quilt of triangles sewn together to create a really cool pattern of intricate details and geometric shapes. The colors from our Fresh Solids are vibrant and exuberant, and work perfectly together to create this boho-inspired design.
Our New Bohemian Quilt is a stunner, and would look amazing as a bedspread or even as wall decor. We love this one, and are so happy to have gotten to work with Sarah. Click MORE to see the full tutorial for this quilt!

Hi everyone,
Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the week. We woke up to flurries, and it is currently still coming down. Time to bring out the parkas and winter boots!! Also, have you entered our Fresh Solids FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter on our Facebook Page by letting us know what your favorite fresh solid is.
It’s time to start off the week with some inspiration, with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection. This whimsy collection is full of dainty floral prints, fluttery vines, and lovely sprigs in comforting chartreuse, grey, turquoise, and coral hues. So elegant and pretty, this collection would make for a sweet little girl’s dress or full circle skirt. As well, we love the idea of adding a Wildflowers quilt draped on a couch or bed to add a touch of femininity.
Vera Wang’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection was brooding and dark, but the prints and silhouettes were far from simple. Keeping the color palette relatively simple – blacks and neutral floral prints – Vera chose to focus on silhouettes and texture. Lots of ruffles, brocade, floral, and sparkle, as well as flowing draping textiles. Such a stunning collection! We especially loved this dress, which reminded us of our Wildflowers Collection, with its dainty coral florals. You can see the rest of the collection here!
We hope you have been inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! We would love to know what trends you are looking forward to for the Spring season (yup, we know we’re just at the cusp of winter…but hey, we can dream of warmer weather lol). Have a good one!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday! TGIF!! We woke up to some very light flurries this morning – they were like little, feathery sprinkles and were so pretty against the sunshine… And speaking of sunshine, have you entered our Fresh Solids Giveaway? We are giving away an FQ bundle of our Fresh Solids on our Facebook Page this week!
Time for this week’s Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some incredibly beautiful items using our Nightfall Collection from Amanda Fair Designs. Two of Amanda’s biggest passions have always been sewing and fabric shopping, both of which she adores equally (but thankfully compliment one another perfectly). Amanda decided to take her hobbies to Etsy and opened up her own business called Amanda Fair Designs. Amanda Fair Designs is a collection of Amanda’s handmade, unique items that are beautifully crafted and made of the highest quality fabrics. They are her “perfectly imperfect handmade goods”. Amanda focuses on bags designs – from tote bags to clutches to tablet cases – that are all so equally pretty and stylish.
Amanda loves Camelot Fabrics, and has chosen some of our collections for her bags! She especially adores our Nightfall Collection, which she has used to design a couple of her bags.
Amanda loves the gold detailing of Nightfall, which makes for a beautiful zippered pouch or wristlet – perfect for dancing the night away! Along with our Nightfall Collection, Amanda has chosen correlating solids that add extra glam to her bags, such as a hot pink trim or ruffles!! One can never go wrong with pink, ruffles…or both ;) We’re also loving these adorable little pouches with our What a Gem Collection!
We want to thank Amanda for the fabric love! We are so thrilled you have used our collections for your bag designs; they are all so glamorous and stylish!! And your shop is so wonderful. Find more from Amanda at her Etsy Shop, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. And with that…have a great weekend, everyone! :)
Happy Sewing!
