Happy Father’s Day to our incredible, inspiring, and loving dads!! We LOVE You!! <3

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to the week. It’s Father’s Day this weekend!! It’s the day to celebrate the man who has always been there for us, no matter what. And this includes (but is not limited to!) killing spiders, shoveling the snow in -30 C weather, making us his famous spaghetti when mom was sick, miraculously fixing that hairdryer that you thought you broke, and loving us unconditionally. We appreciate everything that you do for us, Dads – thank you for everything! :)

What better way to show your dad how much he means to you by making something from the heart. We have an awesome Passport Cover Tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day that would be the perfect gift for that inspiring man in your life. This sleek passport cover is such an essential for any avid traveler – there is nothing worse than rummaging through your things while at the airport trying to find your passport. As if airports weren’t stressful enough! With our cover, your passport will be protected…and with the pretty fabric, easy to find! The elastic band adds extra security, so you can slip your airline ticket and other essentials inside too. And with the inner pockets, you can hide away extra money or cards. We especially love our passport cover with our navy and tan prints from Paisley Please; stylish but neutral enough for a man.

Hi everyone!

Happy Sunday! We are bringing you a very special, extra post this week because today is May the 4th which means…it’s #StarWarsDay!! This is for all our fellow Star Wars fans; we’ve got some fun things happening at Camelot Fabrics that we wanted to share with you today in honor of May the 4th! :)

Firstly, some May the 4th facts! Of course, the iconic phrase “may the force be with you” sparked the now celebrated May 4th as Star Wars Day. But, the first time the phrase was used was on May 4th, 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As a congratulatory advertisement in the newspaper, her party wrote “May the 4th be with you, Maggie, Congratulation”. May 4th is now coined as Star Wars Day and is celebrated worldwide by Star Wars fans, with organized events, parties, games, and more!

We are also celebrating Star Wars Day here at Camelot Fabrics and are giving away 4 Yards of our Glow-in-the-Dark Star Wars fabric this week! The giveaway is on our Facebook Page, so be sure to head on over there to enter by telling us who your favorite SW character is and why! The giveaway ends this Wednesday, so be sure to enter is you haven’t yet soon.

And lastly, we want to leave all our Star Wars fans with something to look forward to. We are SO thrilled that you have enjoyed our past Star Wars fabric collections, showcasing your amazing projects with us, and for all your wonderful comments! We absolutely love hearing your stories and we hope to continue to inspire your projects & crafts! Yes, that’s right SW fans – We are launching a brand new Star Wars fabric collection for Spring 2014, and we are sure you will absolutely adore it! We cannot wait for you to see the collection! We will be sharing a sneak peak of it at Spring QM, and lots more to come this month!! VERY exciting stuff!! :)

We wish all our fellow Star Wars fans a wonderful Star Wars Day! And of course, may the force be with you! :)

Happy Sewing!
