Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend :)
Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Nordic by Camelot Design Studio collection. Our Nordic collection is inspired by the clean and sharp prints of Scandinavian style, including the contrasting black and white colors (with a hint of pink!). The ikat, swiss cross, and diamond prints add a cool feel to an otherwise simple color palette.
We thought it would be fun to put a spin on our Moody Monday, and inspire with home decor. We found this awesome DIY on the Brit+Co website, sharing a fun way to spruce up a plain, white duvet. Using black fabric paint and a cross box, they stamped crosses all along the top of the duvet which created a cool, graphic look. Simplicity of color does not mean simplicity in look – playing with different textures and patterns create depth in an interior space, which they definitely have done in their bed styling! And of course, this DIY gave us a Nordic feel – which we love – and just had to share!
We hope we have inspired you today! And we hope you have enjoyed the different take on our Moody Monday. We’d love to know what you think! Have a lovely day!
Happy Sewing!
more.It’s our Winter 2015 Launch Week!! We are so excited to share with you our 6 new collections, and we hope you love them!
Today we are sharing the first of our Winter 2015 collections, Zoey by the Camelot Design Studio. Our Zoey Collection is soft and feminine, featuring muted shades of blue, green, and blush pink in lattice, paisley, and floral designs. Zoey is the epitome of eloquence and grace; we can imagine a pretty Zoey dress paired with an afternoon tea brunch with your best girlfriends!
Decorate a cozy, darling cottage with a couple of Zoey pillows and quilts, such as our Baby Blocks Quilt, for that added touch of femininity. We love our Yoga Bag Carrier with our Zoey print too!
We hope you have enjoyed the first collection in our Winter 2015 Collections Launch!! We’d love to know what you think of our Zoey Collection. You can check out the full collection here. And, see you tomorrow for the next collection…

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Did anyone work on some fun sewing projects? We would love to know!!
It’s time for some daily inspiration with this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio collection. Rise & Shine is a gorgeous collection of lattice, diamond, and trellis, and tweed geometrics. This collection is just bursting with wonderful turquoise, grey, and yellow hues that make you feel calm and happy. Our Rise & Shine designs would make for a beautiful mod-styled dress or circle skirt. As well, we adore the idea of fresh pops of turquoise and yellow in a neutral room, such as a Rise & Shine quilt or pillow.
Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection is getting us super excited for fall fashion! The warm navy, burgundy, and grey hues are stunning together and make for a very polished look. This collection consisted of lots of lovely floral prints, preppy stripes, and 50s silhouettes. We are in love with this cute dress, that reminds us of the diamonds print from our Rise & Shine Collection. You can find the full collection here.
We hope you have been inspired this week. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)
Happy Sewing!
more.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!
