Welcome!

It’s time for our What We Love! ♥ This will also be our last What We Love for 2014. So weird to say that; it seems as though the last couple months of the year just whizzed by. We started our What We Love segment on the blog in June, and have had so much fun sharing with you a little bit more about us. We get especially excited on Thursdays because we get to choose our weekly “image”, and trust us, we don’t take it lightly. LOL. This week, we also wanted to include another bonus “what we love” and that would be all of YOU. We love you guys every week, but wanted to let you know. We appreciate you sosososo much. More than you’ll ever know. Okay, enough sappiness lol. Onto what else we’ve loved most this week… ♥

Shannen: The Nutcracker Ballet
Valeria: Dinosaur Bookend
Juan: Skylanders Elements Sugar Cookies
Vanessa: Ice Skating
Marion: Cacti + Pretty Bottles

Ending with a great one! We hope we have inspired you with our post this week. We’d love to know what some of your favorite things this week were. We always love chatting with you! And that’s it for 2014, but you can always check our Pinterest for more! ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a lovely day. Just a reminder…our two holiday giveaways are still going strong until January 7th! You can enter on our Instagram and Facebook for some bundles of fabric prettiness!! :)

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday!! Soso much to be thankful for, and as this year is coming to an end, we have been reminiscing of all the wonderful people we have met and all the incredible partnerships we have been a part of. Thank you to each and every person who has filled our year with bunches of creativity, fun, excitement, and color!!

And speaking of amazing partnerships, we are thanking BurdaStyle today. We adore the BurdaStyle Magazine because it is a great source for all things sewing and fabric-related, with a modern twist…and lots of awesome fashion tidbits, which we appreciate. They know the latest and upcoming trends, and coordinate their articles and projects accordingly. It’s getting your seasonal source of fashion & trends AND fantastic patterns/tutorials/sewing tips all in one!! Yup, we’re big fans. In their latest magazine issue for Winter 2015, the theme was all about getting cozy, while staying chic, during the colder months. Their cover photo features the coolest of faux fur coats that we are just in love with! SO fab!

As well, flipping through the magazine, you may find a familiar project…our Smoking Slippers Tutorial! Our Smoking Slippers are a great project to make for yourself, or as a last minute DIY gifts for friends and family. They are super cute, super stylish, and super cozy – yup, not much more you can ask for! As well, they are perfect for both men and women, so it’s also a super versatile project.

We are so happy that BurdaStyle loves our Smoking Slippers!! Thank you for the wonderful feature, we are so thrilled!! You can find the free project and pattern for our Smoking Slippers here. Be sure to check out the latest Winter 2015 issue of BurdaStyle (you won’t regret it, fellow sewing enthusiasts), and their website for lots more. Have a lovely day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a great day. We are getting closer to the holidays, and we are soo excited!! We continued the spirit today by having our gift exchange in the Camelot Design Studio. We also made our very own color-taped Christmas tree to put the presents under – definitely feeling festive here, we’d say! To keep the holiday cheer rolling, we’re also hosting two holiday giveaways on our Facebook and Instagram…AND All Free Sewing is giving away our Spectrum FQB today for their #12DaysofXmas!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Just in time for the holiday season, we are sharing our DIY Holiday Cards Tutorial today. We love receiving cards from our loved ones, and handmade ones are just the icing on the cupcake! We love handmade cards because they are more sentimental and personal, and are a way for you to have fun and create.

Our DIY Holiday Cards use our Ad-Fab™ to create decals that jazz up blank greeting cards, and with our Hot Chocolate Ad-Fab™, our cards are fabulously festive! We offer two designs, our Tree & Ornament Card and our Menorah Card, so the choice is yours! Then, add your personality to each card with your own accent designs. Get creating, get crafting, and get festive!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope you have been enjoying your week – it’s almost the weekend!! With our winter wonderland, we’re thinking of staying indoors with a good book and some hot cider by the fireplace this weekend. Ahh, bliss. We’ve been super into the holiday spirit, and are having a cookie exchange at the office today – sugar cookies, toffee & white chocolate cookies, ginger cookies,…oh yum! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some wonderful Star Wars pouches by Jolene Ko that we found on Instagram, and just had to share. Jolene loves to sew and create, and chooses fabric collections that are cool, unique, and on the quirky side. She shares her current creations on her Instagram, as well as her other social media sites, and is in the processing of developing her own products. We saw this zipper pouch (seen below) that Jolene tweaked from this tutorial, and thinks it is awesome!

Jolene chose our Angry Birds Star Wars and Star Wars Collections to create her zipper pouches, and we adore the designs that she chose. The pouch would be the perfect thing to organize a larger handbag, keep your receipts together, or for keeping your tablet safe. It would also make for a great gift! Such lovely pouches, Jolene!! :)

Thank you so much for tagging us on Instagram, Jolene! You can follow her on Facebook Page to get updates of her new ventures, as well as on Pinterest and her blog. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
