Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to the week. It’s Father’s Day this weekend!! It’s the day to celebrate the man who has always been there for us, no matter what. And this includes (but is not limited to!) killing spiders, shoveling the snow in -30 C weather, making us his famous spaghetti when mom was sick, miraculously fixing that hairdryer that you thought you broke, and loving us unconditionally. We appreciate everything that you do for us, Dads – thank you for everything! :)

What better way to show your dad how much he means to you by making something from the heart. We have an awesome Passport Cover Tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day that would be the perfect gift for that inspiring man in your life. This sleek passport cover is such an essential for any avid traveler – there is nothing worse than rummaging through your things while at the airport trying to find your passport. As if airports weren’t stressful enough! With our cover, your passport will be protected…and with the pretty fabric, easy to find! The elastic band adds extra security, so you can slip your airline ticket and other essentials inside too. And with the inner pockets, you can hide away extra money or cards. We especially love our passport cover with our navy and tan prints from Paisley Please; stylish but neutral enough for a man.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! It was super sunny and hot this weekend for us; the humidity was definitely at its high…but it was the perfect weekend for sitting by the pool, with a summer cocktail (or jumping into the pool too!). Have you seen our What We Love post? We are starting a new feature on the blog sharing with you all what we, the Camelot Design Studio, loved most for the week! :)

It’s time to start off this sunshine-filled week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Cove by Camelot Design Studio collection for Spring 2014. Encapsulated in a calm colour palette of powdered blue, tan, and muted grey…this collection is very ocean-inspired. The clear waters, the gritty sand, and the smell of the salty air…these are some of things we love most about the beach, and Cove brings us back to that place. Cove mixes calming colors with modern prints of ikats, fretworks, and hexagons and would be the perfect setting for a ocean-themed room. Think tide colored pillows, a cozy blue and tan quilt, and some decorative sea glass pieces to finish off the look. If you can’t get to the beach, then creating something or decorating with Cove is the next best thing! Check out all the full Cove collection HERE!

One collection that reminds us of our Cove Collection is that of M.Patmos’ Spring 2014 RTW line. Soft hues are always on-trend for the Spring and Summer, but we have been seeing a lot of powdered blues on the runways for Spring 2014, such as at the Nina Ricci and Marchesa shows too.

There is just something so calming and serene about this muted blue color that we especially adore, which is perfect for contrasting against the hot summer temperatures. M.Patmos’ collection is a mixture of blues, greens, and tans which reminds us of clear, tropical waters. This look especially reminds us of Cove, with the stunning woven sweater and accompanying tan & powdered blue accessories. Such a beach-y look! You can check out the full collection here.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a fantastic, restful weekend. We are SO ready to kick-off the first week of June. Wow, we can’t believe it’s June already – it feels like May has just come and gone…but that means we are getting closer to Summer!! :) Have you entered our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway yet? Be sure to ENTER for your chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and a coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spool Case!!

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are sharing a stunning and zesty collection by Jane Farnham for Spring 2014…Peacock Garden! This collection is bright and vibrant with its fun chartreuse, spearmint, royal blue, and pink color palette. And just as the name suggests, Peacock Garden includes pretty peacock-inspired designs with dainty peacock feathers and plumage décor. The colors and flora designs give this collection a very happy and playful feel, but at the same time very feminine and soft. We can imagine a lovely Farmer’s Market tote with Peacock Garden, as well as a fun summertime dress. This collection would be absolutely stunning as a quilt too!

For Spring, you can never go wrong with florals or pastel colors! And Jenny Packham’s Spring 2014 Collection suggests just that. Enthralled in pretty, muted shades of pinks, blues, and greens (with the fun pop of chartreuse!) this collection reminds us of our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection. We absolutely adore the mix of tones, the fluttering chiffons, and the incredible beaded work that Jenny used to create a fantastic, Edwardian-inspired fashion collection. We especially love this dress, which captures the wonderful flora essence of Peacock Garden. You can see the full collection here!

Be sure to check out our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection, and let us know which design is your favorite. We hope we had inspired you today with our Moody Monday. Have a great day! :)

Happy Sewing!
