Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are all doing fantastic today. Interestingly, today is National Beverage Day...my favorite drink of choice on a hot, sunny day would have to be good ol’ lemonade. Yum! What is yours?

Another Wednesday, means that it’s Winsday time! Just in time for Mother’s Day this weekend, we’re hosting a Mother’s Day Giveaway on our Facebook Page. We love our mums – aka best friend, biggest supporter, teacher, shoulder to cry on, hand to hold when the tough gets tough, role model – and wanted to host a giveaway dedicated to the strongest of women.

The prize is a stunner, reminiscent of our mums: our Wildflowers Collection by Alisse Courter. This collection is deliciously feminine and pretty, encapsulated by florals in soft grays, greens, and pinks. It definitely is one of our fan favorites too, as the collection is now completely sold out. Want to win this stack of beautiful fabrics? Head on over to our Facebook Page, find the Giveaway Image, “LIKE” the image, and comment letting us know what your favorite memory with your mom is. There are probably a million-and-one moments to choose from, but we love that this question will also bring up good times and be nostalgic. See below for full rules!

Recap of our Wildflowers FQ Bundle Giveaway Rules:
1. LIKE the Camelot Fabrics’ Wildflowers by Alisse Courter FQB Giveaway Image on our Facebook Page!
2. Comment on the Giveaway Image telling us: What is your favorite memory with your mom?

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. As well, Happy Cinco de Mayo, to those who celebrate!

On to this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring another awesome Swoon Patterns project that we had sewn in-house, with our Elixir Collection. Our Elixir Collection is packed with bold purple, navy, and mint hues in fun geometric patterns. The freshness of this collection makes for beautiful accessory and clothing pieces because they add happy pops of color to anything! We decided to use Elixir to create Swoon Pattern’s Vivian Handbag & Traveler.

The large-sized bag would make for the perfect baby bag or weekender tote. The pockets, one located on each side, make for a convenient spot for a baby or water bottle, and the double straps make it easy to carry around. We chose a fun triangle geometric pattern for the body and a more muted, broken herringbone design for the handles and outer shell – a great combination that is playful, but still neutral! We love how this Vivian bag turned out!!

You can find the pattern for the Vivian Handbag & Traveler at Swoon Patterns. It is such a versatile and stylish bag; we are so obsessed with ours!! (psst. Mother’s Day is this weekend!) Elixir will be one of the collections we’ll be featuring at Quilt Market (booth 101), so be sure to stop by to see the Vivian in person. And with that, have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! It was BEAUTIFUL out this weekend – warm and sunny, and it seemed like the whole city was happy and out-and-about. Also, Happy Star Wars Day!! May the 4th be with you :)

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Marvel: Immortals Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, that we officially launched last week. We launched three new “bestseller” collections – bringing back fan favorites of our best designs! Marvel: Immortals features your classic Spider-Man and the awesome Avengers team (Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor) – back at it again for another collection that is bright, and full of awesome-ness. All of your ultimate favorites are here, including the popular comic strip designs.

Topshop Unique Spring 2015 Collection was bold and fabulous! With a 70s “rollerskating gal” inspired feel, this Topshop Collection was all about midriffs, high-waisted pants, mini skirts, cropped jackets, and turtlenecks. The color palette was bright reds and blues, mixed with contrasting burgundy and white. So fun and preppy!! This outfit reminds us of our Marvel: Immortals Collection, from the colors down to its overall “superhero” feel.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! And to all our Star Wars enthusiasts – I’d love to know what you’ll be doing today to celebrate! Have an awesome May the 4th!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! And Happy First of May!!! We are just SO excited for all the awesome things that will be happening this month…one being Quilt Market! Wooo – see you at booth 101!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful tunic by the blog szycie i cala reszta, featuring our Iconic Collection. Iconic is our feminine and dainty collection of pink, taupe, and navy hues in gorgeous geometrics. When we look at this collection, we feel very 1950s inspired – mid-length dresses, fabulous hats, and elegant accessories. We can imagine a lovely tea dress in our navy and pink sartorial print, worn by the iconic Coco Chanel herself!

The blogger behind szycie i cala reszta created a lovely tunic top with the french knot design of our Iconic Collection, and it looks so good!! We love the cleanness of the tunic, really showcasing the boldness of the print. Such a wonderful, chic tunic!

Thank you so much for sharing your Camelot Fabrics project with us! You can find more on her blog, Instagram, and Facebook. Her blog is in Polish, but her projects are so lovely to look at (I believe szycie is sewing in Polish) :) Have a great weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

The nice change in weather has definitely inspired our mood this week. We’ve been big fans of bright color – from beautiful photography to colorful wear, springtime has definitely been inspiring what we’ve been pinning. We love alllll the bright colors.
