Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had an amazing week. We are currently at Quilt Market, Day 1, so be sure to stop by and say hi – booth #101!

Time to end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely Wilksten Tank made by Melissa Karpetz. Wilksten is a wonderful online shop selling ethically-made (and mostly handmade!) clothing pieces, accessories (hats, ornaments), and patterns. Wilksten is run by a husband-wife doctor/pattern-making designer duo who “seek to encourage thoughtful buying by giving our customers a personal connection to their purchases”. Melissa is a home sewer who shares her creations on Instagram, one being the Wilksten Tank she created with our Cove Collection. She chose a cozy turquoise and grey geometric pattern that works really well with the flowy tank – perfect to match with a pair of white pants and wedges. Our Cove Collection has a sea-inspired feel to it, so it was a perfect choice for the tank.

We really love this tank, Melissa, so thank you for sharing it with us! And thank you for the fabric love. We can think of lots of fun ways to style it for the Spring and Summer, such a great essential. You can find more from Melissa on Instagram. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! It was super sunny and hot this weekend for us; the humidity was definitely at its high…but it was the perfect weekend for sitting by the pool, with a summer cocktail (or jumping into the pool too!). Have you seen our What We Love post? We are starting a new feature on the blog sharing with you all what we, the Camelot Design Studio, loved most for the week! :)

It’s time to start off this sunshine-filled week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Cove by Camelot Design Studio collection for Spring 2014. Encapsulated in a calm colour palette of powdered blue, tan, and muted grey…this collection is very ocean-inspired. The clear waters, the gritty sand, and the smell of the salty air…these are some of things we love most about the beach, and Cove brings us back to that place. Cove mixes calming colors with modern prints of ikats, fretworks, and hexagons and would be the perfect setting for a ocean-themed room. Think tide colored pillows, a cozy blue and tan quilt, and some decorative sea glass pieces to finish off the look. If you can’t get to the beach, then creating something or decorating with Cove is the next best thing! Check out all the full Cove collection HERE!

One collection that reminds us of our Cove Collection is that of M.Patmos’ Spring 2014 RTW line. Soft hues are always on-trend for the Spring and Summer, but we have been seeing a lot of powdered blues on the runways for Spring 2014, such as at the Nina Ricci and Marchesa shows too.

There is just something so calming and serene about this muted blue color that we especially adore, which is perfect for contrasting against the hot summer temperatures. M.Patmos’ collection is a mixture of blues, greens, and tans which reminds us of clear, tropical waters. This look especially reminds us of Cove, with the stunning woven sweater and accompanying tan & powdered blue accessories. Such a beach-y look! You can check out the full collection here.

Happy Sewing!

It’s Day FOUR of our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week, and we are sharing two more beautiful collections with you all! The first one we are sharing with is Cove by Camelot Design Studio.

Cove reminds of a cool, summer breeze by the ocean or lake. The colours of light blue, sand, and taupe are subdued and soft, making the palette very pretty and ethereal. You know that peaceful feeling you get when you are by the ocean, with just the perfect amount of breeze, breathing in the fresh, salty air? That’s what Cove reminds us of. We could take a calm, relaxing vacation…or create some lovely projects – decorated in fun hexagons, fretworks, and ikats – with Cove. We can imagine a delicate shrug, some pillows for a beach-themed room, or a calming quilt for the bedroom. So many possibilities!

This incredible quilt here is Flying High by Swirly Girls Design – you can find the free pattern for it here!

We really hope you enjoy our Cove collection! You can check out the full collection and all of its prettiness here. As well, be sure to check out all our stunning free projects with Cove here, here, here, here, here, and here. One more collection to share today, so stay tuned!
