It’s Day THREE of Our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week!! Today we are bringing to you two more wonderful collections from the Camelot Design Studio. The first collection we are sharing with you is called Kate!
Kate is sophisticated and classy, and reminds us of an elegant rooftop party during the Summer. The warm hues of this collection – grapefruit, mustard, and indigo – give this geo-printed collection a very modern, on-trend feel. The collection is decorated in pretty geometrics – ogee, tile, chevron, and lattice prints make Kate playful, yet classic. We can imagine a beautiful shift dress & clutch for a modern wedding or dinner event, and a matching tie or bow for your date. Kate is the perfect compliment to your next after-work affair!

Time for another Spring 2014 Collection launch from the wonderful Jane Farnham!! Today we are sharing with you…Peacock Garden! We are so ready for Spring weather, and are so thrilled that it is slowly starting to feel as such here. Peacock Garden reminds us of all things we love most about the springtime – the fresh colors, the lovely colors, and the renewal of all things.
Peacock Garden is a whimsical, crisp collection of blues, greens, and rose. The prints are girly and playful, with the mix of pretty floral patterns and peacock feathers, all encapsulating an ethereal and majestic feel. Peacocks are absolutely stunning animals to look at, and we absolutely adore the play on their colors and royalty in this collection. We can imagine some sweet half-circle skirts for a little girl or a feathered tote bag in the warm blues and greens of Peacock Garden. What this collection says to us is that it’s time to plan a peacock-themed garden party, complete with peacock straws, party sandwiches, and games!!
Be sure to check out all of our free projects featuring Peacock Garden here, here, here, here, here, and here. You see the full collection and all the playful prints here. We really hope you enjoy both of Jane Farnham’s collections for our Spring 2014 Collections – We have got more beautiful fabrics coming your way tomorrow, so stay tuned for more! :)

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 Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic and loving Mother’s Day weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous here this weekend, the weather was pristine, and we are hoping it only continues like this! We are also launching our new Spring 2014 collections this week, so there will be extra blog posts today, but we are keeping our regular schedule too. Lots of goodies for you to read/see this week!
It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our Whoo’s Cute by Heather Rosas moodboard with you all. This collection is soft, cuddly, and innocently adorable. As the name suggests, this is a fun, owl-printed collection featuring woodland-sy branches, leaves, and acorns! Whoo’s Cute features a warm mix of pinks and blues, along with brown and green to match the woodsy theme. The owls are friendly and kind, and the soft patterns make this collection perfect for a girl or boy nursery, or for a couple of sweet, Spring dresses. Whoo’s Cute by Heather Rosas is also available in both cotton and flannel.
Keeping in the theme of all things magical and kid-friendly, Disney’s Maleficent is coming to a screen near you soon! We are just so excited, being uber Disney fans at the Camelot Design Studio, so we will definitely be watching this movie when it hits theaters. We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty, but now it’s the evil queen’s time to shine. The Maleficent movie will dig deeper into the Evil Queen’s reasoning behind casting a sleeping spell on Princess Aurora. What’s even more amazing is that Angelina Jolie will be Maleficent, Ella Fanning will play Aurora. We can’t wait! You can check out the full trailer here! The movie will be in theaters later this month.
We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! I know there were quite a few blog posts today, so we hope things aren’t too confusing. If you missed them, please check out our Star Wars III, Ultimate Spider-Man II, and Girl Power II blog posts about each collection in more depth. We really hope you enjoy our new Spring 2014 collections; there’s more to come this week! :)
Happy Sewing!
