Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a fantastic week – so excited and ready for the weekend!! :)

Time to end a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a fun Coraline Laptop Bag by Valerie Higgins of Eldra Ann Designs. Eldra Ann Designs is a small Etsy shop that Valerie started last year, as a way to share her fun project creations. Sewing is something she learnt from her mom and grandmothers, and now is an enjoyable hobby that helps relieve the daily stress (oh, we can so relate!). She said that she can get lost into a project, way into the night, but loves every minute of it. She opened up Eldra Ann Designs to share with others, specifically creating custom orders for people.

One of the custom orders Valerie received was for a laptop bag. She used an altered version of Swoon Patterns‘ (one of our faves!) Dakota Bag and used our Coraline by Camelot Design Studio collection as the main fabric, including a fun interior and strap detailing. We love the use of the coral pattern, while keeping the rest of the bag neutral with a gray fabric. The bag is finished with two hidden snaps, and makes for the perfect, stylish bag for carrying your laptop – either to work or school! 

Thank you for the fabric love, Valerie! We’re so glad you love our Coraline Collection and chose it for this bag. We adore it! You can find more from Valerie on her Instagram and Etsy. Have an incredible weekend!!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all are doing fabulously. Quilt Market weekend is officially over, and we’re back to work today. A bittersweet moment, but we have so many incredible memories from the show that we will forever cherish. What a great Quilt Market!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring the stunning Glenda Clutch Pattern by Swoon Patterns, with our Coraline by Camelot Design Studio collection. Coraline is feminine and cool collection of coral, navy, and grey hues in bold geometric patterns. This modern and girly collection would make for the perfect decor for a little girl’s room, complete with tabbed curtains and tossed pillows! The patterns are also wonderful for accessories – a cute cropped jacket or clutch (like the Glenda clutch).

The Glenda Clutch is perfect for a Girl’s Night Out – it perfectly fits your wallet, powder and lipstick, and your phone in a cute little clutch. The simple snap detail gives the clutch a clean feel, with a detachable shoulder strap. We chose a subdued grey drops pattern, and a fun surprise of coral inside. Such a stand-out clutch!

Such a gorgeous clutch by Swoon Patterns! You can also find the pattern for the Glenda Clutch here. And with that, have a fantastic rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

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!
