Welcome!

Have you been keeping up with our Summer 2015 collections launch? We’ve got another one for you today… It’s our Nordic by Camelot Design Studio Collection! Inspired by Scandinavian style, our Nordic collection is soft, clean, and all kinds of gorgeous. Muted blush and greys combine together to create geometric prints of swiss crosses, ikats, and funky diamonds. We could imagine a serene reading space, complete with a pile of Nordic throw pillows and a lush quilt. It is also available in our double gauze, so a crop top or maxi dress would be oh-so lovely! 

Cozy up with our Diamonds Quilt by The Girl Who Quilts, and your favorite book on your tablet (we’ve got a tablet cover tutorial too!), and your night is set.

We’d love to know what you think about our Nordic Collection? Is this your favorite so far? We’ve got more to share with you this week, so stay tuned for tomorrow!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. To all our Americans, hope you had an amazing 4th of July weekend! :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Skylanders Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Skylanders is an interactive video game series that brings “toys to life”. Characters based on eight elemental categories – earth, magic, air, fire, water, life, teach, and undead – go through different adventures in the land of Skylands to defend their world from varying threats. The ultimate goal is protect the world of Skylands from “Kaos”, as the Skylanders want to maintain peace & balance in their world. Good over evil – very cool theme for a game, we think. Three additional series have since been introduced, as well as three new elements known as the Trap team (kaos, light, and dark). Our Skylanders Collection is a representation of the game that many gamers enjoy – from the beloved Skylanders characters to the bright blues & yellows, this is a really fun collection!

Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring 2013 collection was elegant and classy, just as the designer herself. Splashes of blues and orange made this collection feel like summertime, like sipping on a orange julep by the water. There was a wonderful flow to every outfit, with lightweight fabrics of silk and chiffon to drape around the models. But of course, even with a summer-inspired collection, there was an effortless elegance and femininity to each piece. And of course, we can’t forget her infamous wrap dresses! We especially loved this jumpsuit, that was powerful and gorgeous, especially with the metallic belt. Another stunning collection from DVF!

We hope you have enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what summer trends you are excited about. Any fun colours you’re excited to wear? Let us know. Have a relaxing rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. It’s the last day to enter Jackie McFee’s Heavy Metal Giveaway, so be sure to enter here!!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day!! Today we are sharing a superrr fun Pom-Pom Beach Cover-up tutorial, designed by Marion of Made by Marion. It’s officially beach season now, so we were inspired to make something that we could use for the beach or pool.

There’s nothing like spending the day soaking up the sun with a good book, and then going for a relaxing swim. And then after your fun-in-the-sun day, take yourself from beach to dinner with our stylish pom-pom cover-up. Our lightweight double gauze fabric is airy and soft, so it won’t be uncomfortable if your bathing suit is still damp – and it’s perfect for the hot weather! Our Magnolia double gauze print makes for a very pretty tunic, especially with the pom-pom details. Add some shorts, a cami, a necklace or a belt, and you’ve also got yourself a casual dinner top!

Want to make your very own pom-pom beach cover-up? All you’ll need is a beach or pool, and you’re set for a day in the sun & water! Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic afternoon!! It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so here’s to all the incredibly strong and supportive dads – we appreciate you so much!

Time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super pretty quilt done by Nicole of byLerina. Nicole started her shop in December 2013, when she truly discovered for love for sewing and its craft. She created byLerina, on Facebook and now as an independent website that is coming soon. She sews and features adorable children’s clothing, for little girls and boys, as well as fun accessories and quilts. Nicole designed a precious, little girl’s quilt as a baptism gift – for a girl named Emma. We are so obsessed!

She chose our Fairyville by Heather Rosas as the main fabric collection. It was the perfect girly and playful color palette for this quilt, and we adore how she wrote “Emma” and her birthday on it. Such a touching quilt and gift!

Thank you for the fabric love, Nicole. We are so happy you enjoyed sewing with our Fairyville collection. We hope Emma loves her new quilt! You can find more from Nicole on her Facebook Page, Instagram, and website. Have an incredible weekend everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful Winsday!! Today is also National Apple Pie Day – uhhh, YUM! There’s never been an apple pie I had that I did not like. Nothing better than a warm slice of apple heaven, wrapped up in a flaky crust and some ice cream…

Definitely too many, but there are a couple that are very special to us. Love our moms!!
