Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!! We wish you a fantastic and safe celebratory weekend!! If you haven’t seen it yet, we posted some awesome DIY Fourth of July gift and party ideas on our blog last week…here’s the link to check it out!

It’s also time to end another super week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop and blog: Charley, Dee, & Me! Charley, Dee, & Me is a blog run by Rebecca, and dedicated to all things fabric-related. Rebecca loves to sew and quilt, especially with the women in her family, and enjoys blogging about all of her project-making adventures. As well, Rebecca shares tutorials with her readers – table runners, a fun toaster cover, and more! :)

In correlation with her blog, Rebecca also has an Etsy Shop where she sells her beautifully handmade burp cloths, blankets, and quilts for little ones. A lot of the chain store products for babies are generic and, for lack of a better word, boring…but Rebecca brings a contemporary flair to baby stuff! Rebecca has impeccable taste in fabric designs, so all of her products are eye-catching and modern, perfect for all the little ones who want to be comforted but also stay in style! We absolutely adore these burp cloths that Rebecca made with our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection. This set is absolutely adorable, and the packaging is perfection as well. It would make for such a lovely baby shower gift!

We are so happy that you love our Frolicking Forest fabric, Rebecca! We really love the esthetic of your blog and shop, and are honored to be a part of it. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a brilliant day! Have you entered our Petite Plume Giveaway yet? We are hosting a Pinterest Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter to win if you haven’t yet! We also posted our What We Love #4 yesterday, so be sure to check it out here! :)

It’s also time for our Fan Friday! What a great way to end another fantastic week, the first official week of Summer! And just in time for summertime, we are featuring an awesome Etsy Shop today….Vintage Divinities! Vintage Divinities, a really fun clothing Etsy Shop by Martha Godinez, is dedicated to vintage-inspired pieces such as crop tops, printed shirts, skater skirts, floral crowns, and tulle skirts! All of the items are handmade with love, and all done in really bright and festival-inspired prints and colors.

When we saw this crop top with our Star Wars fabric, we had a moment!! We absolutely adore how fun and modern this top is, with a Star Wars twist. And because it is Summer, we are all about comfort and casualwear…while still being put together and on-trend, and this is the perfect top for that. It would be great with a high-waisted pair of shorts or tulle skirt – so cute!

We are so happy that you love our Star Wars fabric!! Thank you so much for the support, Martha! Be sure to check out Vintage Divinities for more on Etsy, as well as on Facebook. Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the weather!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a great day. It’s the last day of February, and we are wondering where the time has gone. February seriously flew by! We’re very excited for the start of March, and for all the amazing things to come…and also for Spring! We are in need of some warmer weather.

Today is also Fan Friday on the blog, and we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop today with the absolute cutest name! A Tiny Forest is a lovely business, started by Kim Payne, creating stunning and high-quality handcrafted products that are also very practical for everyday use. What started as a passion to sew, quickly sparked into a very successful little business! ” I love to make items that are useful and practical, but also lovely and unique.  My little shop, A Tiny Forest, was born of that desire.  It’s just me and a sewing machine, and I do everything from the design phase all the way to shipping.  I also have the responsibility of caring for my family, so it’s a delicate balance.”

According to Kim, mason jars are all the rage…and we definitely agree! Mason jar ideas are always being pinned on Pinterest, and for good reason – there are so many different things you can do with them. And Pinterest makes us want to do them all! One awesome idea from Kim is to use them to pack leftovers for lunch. That’s what she was doing for her husband, packing his work lunch in mason jars, but because they are glass it wasn’t the easiest to transport. That’s when Kim’s mason jar bags were born!

The mason jar bags feature pocket sleeves inside to segment and hold the jars, and even fold out if you want to carry something else! The bags come in several sizes to carry quart-sized, pint-sized, & half pint-sized jars and sturdy handles to carry all your goods. As well, Kim has an eye for pretty designs and chooses a great selection of fabric collections for her products that are playful and fresh. We especially adore that Kim chooses a matching, equally fun, print for the interior! Kim chose our Iconic collection and we think this bag is absolutely beautiful!! We definitely would love to take this bag to work or to the local market with us – so pretty and stylish!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. There are 5 more days until Christmas!! “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful”  – Norman Vincent Peale

Is anyone doing some last minute Christmas shopping this weekend? That is definitely in the plan (oops!), along with finding some delicious recipes for the upcoming holidays parties and spending some downtime playing in the freshly, fallen snow! We hear a snow angel (or two!) calling our names to be made! :)

It’s time for another Fan Friday! Today we are featuring another fantastic Etsy Shop, SuiteWorks. SuiteWorks is run by a husband and wife duo, and they specialize in creating unique, handmade baby accessories such as bibs and aprons that are very practical yet stylish. They spark the idea of creating on-trend baby pieces when they became parents themselves, and saw the limited design choices and “created the label to provide parents with alternative baby and children’s products. Each item is handmade with love and great care. The uniqueness of each piece will sure to put a smile on your child’s face.”

In lieu with fashion fabric designs, the husband and wife duo has chosen Camelot Fabrics amongst their favorites. One fabric design they especially love is our Hot Chocolate by Jackie McFee fabric collection. All the designs in Hot Chocolate are vibrant, fun, and on-trend…perfect for baby accessories and the like, and would make perfect holiday gifts too.

We adore the bibs they created with our Hot Chocolate collection. Any baby wearing these bibs are definitely going to be style mavens in the making! Click to see more :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. We definitely are having a great day in the office today! Christmas presents and a cookie exchange…we’ve now got a sugar rush but in the best way possible. Yum! What is everyone else up to for the day? :)

We have a Freddie’s Friends and Fabric Giveaway on our blog too! Click here to enter :) You can win an Olive the Owl sewing pattern and the accompanying fabric.

And it’s also Fan Friday on the blog. Today we are sharing a crafty Etsy shop, Thread Lightly Designs. Thread Lightly Designs is run by a mother/daughter team, Elaine and Erin, who create handcrafted, stylish accessories, book covers, bags, and more! Erin and Elaine choose fabric designs that are trendy, fun, and brightly eye-catching. What had started as a side project in 2010 has now expanded to a multitude of new products, a strong customer base, and the place for all your gifting needs!

Some of the stylish fabrics chosen were that of ours, such as our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole collection! The feather and bird designs look especially darling as weekly planners…so sweet and functional!

They make the perfect gift for all your friends (and yourself!), and the best part is that the covers are reusable. There are also amazing wallets, bags, passport covers, luggage tags, hair accessories, and bags galore! Click to see even more dazzling products :)
