We are finishing the end to another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an adorable free project from E-beth Designs using our Penelope Collection. How perfect for our Penelope Giveaway week! We first saw this project on Instagram (thanks for tagging us!!), and we squealed with excitement from how super cute it was. Elizabeth Shepherd of E-beth Designs created a beautiful Adjustable Fabric Headband Pattern as a free project on her website, and featured our Penelope Collection with it. It’s a simple, but fun project…and is such a great accessory to “jazz up” any outfit for the Spring and Summer!
Elizabeth’s daughter is seen here wearing the Penelope headband, and we think she looks super adorable and so ready for Summer!! Elizabeth is also working on a romper tutorial that will also feature our Penelope collection, and we are SUPER excited to see the finished project! :)
E-beth Designs is a mix between an online pattern/fabric shop and blog filled with lots of fabric, sewing, and project tutorial goodies!! We absolutely adore the modernity and stylish pieces that Elizabeth creates, and are so happy she loves our Penelope Collection. Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for sharing your project with us and for the fabric-love. We absolutely adore the headband, and cannot wait to see the Summer romper!! :) You can find more on E-beth Designs at her blog, Etsy shop, Facebook, and Instagram.
If you have used one of our fabric collections or one of our free projects, we would love to see your projects!! You can always send us pictures at info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us with #camelotfabrics, and you could be featured in a future Fan Friday! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a lovely day. Unfortunately, we’ve been getting some pretty yucky and muggy weather here as of late. We were surprised with a heavy downfall this morning, and some hail (yes, hail!) in some parts of the city this weekend. Let’s hope June will bring some more sunshine!!
To brighten up a gloomy day, we are here with our weekly How To’s Day! And this is a fun one, with colors that will surely brighten up any rainy day. And that is just what we need! Today we are sharing our Foldover Wedding Clutch Tutorial, featuring our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. With Summer approaching, it also means that party and wedding season are here too! And we couldn’t be any more excited!! Gorgeous floral arrangements, stunning gowns, delicious food, and heartwarming nuptials…we LOVE it all! Plus, who wouldn’t want a reason to wear a cocktail dress and pretty accessories? :)
Our foldover wedding clutch is the perfect compliment to an even more perfect day!! This beautiful clutch would be a wonderful gift to show your loving bridesmaids how much they mean to you, or an added accessory to hold all your wedding day essentials! It would be great for a night out with the girlfriends or as a makeup/essentials pouch too. We adore the pop of color with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection; plus the suede or leather section is such a stylish detail!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! It’s the second day of the week, but the first day back for us Canadians. It was an absolutely fantastic long weekend, with the weather being absolutely gorgeous – the perfect amount of coolness and sunshine = my kind of weather! As well, Quilt Market was this weekend and it was such a great market!! We hope you enjoyed all the pictures we posted on our Instagram; lots more to come soon! It’s also the last day to enter our Marvy/Uchida x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway – enter HERE if you haven’t yet. Good Luck! :)
We’ve got an absolutely brilliant How To’s Day for you. Today we are sharing our tutorial for our Lattice Table Runner – a gorgeous quilted table runner that will instantly add some sparkle to your dinning or coffee table! We absolutely LOVE switching up and playing around with room décor, because they are a fun way to change up a look quickly, and at a lower cost. We really love sharing our home décor projects with you because, not only are they great for sprucing up a room, but they are so much fun to make. Triple win!
Our Lattice Table Runner is such a beautiful centerpiece to add to any table; it is a statement piece on its own! The intricate latticework on the table runner makes for a very pretty, fun, and modern feel that would look great with any fabric choice. We really love how it looks with our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole, as we think it’d be the perfect attention-grabber for a dazzling dinning table! Match it up with some bright and colorful kitchen accessories, and you’ve got yourself a kitchen with a contemporary, but retro vibe. Absolute LOVE! We are in the mood for some ice cream sodas now ;)

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. It’s Day TWO of our Spring 2014 Collections Launch. Have you seen the collections we’ve launched so far? Be sure to check out Star Wars III, Ultimate Spider-Man II, and Girl Power II. Lots more prettiness to come! :)
We have our How To’s Day for you!! Today’s tutorial is on a really adorable, fun kid’s tote – Our Tot’s Triangle Tote!! We remember being little girls always wanting to be just like our mommies; wearing her heels, putting on her makeup, dowsing ourselves in too much perfume, and of course, strutting around with her clothes and handbags. Now our kids don’t have to go through mommy’s things (although, they probably still will!) because we can make them their very own tote – kid-sized and friendly, but just as chic! Our younger selves would feel so pretty and grown-up with our very own bag to match our mum’s, putting all the important things inside – like chapstick, animal crackers, and crayons – of course! ;)
We can even imagine little girls and boys going to the playground with our kid tote – the perfect companion for carrying all their park essentials (bubble, sand toys, and band-aids!). They can keep all of their newfound treasures inside too. And there’s even an interior pocket to keep all their special things safe! :)
We used Our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection for this tutorial; a happy and playful collection inspired by another thing we miss most about our childhoods – going to the park to play with friends, swinging to our heart’s content, and hanging on the monkey bars. So many wonderful memories that make Playground especially nostalgic.

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We are celebrating Mother’s Day all this week because we love our mums! Today we are going to share with you a wonderful gift idea for that special mom who deserves to feel pampered.
This week’s How To’s day is our elegant Trellis Edged Robe featuring our Iconic Collection. This robe is luxurious and beautiful, complete with stunning trellis detailing on the sleeves and edging, as well as a satin lining. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a cup of coffee or tea, with the daily newspaper or favorite television show, snuggled up in this robe? There is no better way to spend the morning, we think. Our Trellis Edged Robe will make anyone feel pretty and like royalty, as our mums should feel every day!!
This is such a beautiful project, and we are so excited to share it with you! To complete the “day-in” look, you can check out our Pajama Pants tutorial to make your mom her very own Iconic pj set.
