Welcome!

It’s time for our What We Love ♥ This week, we have definitely been inspired by the autumnal weather and all things Fall – rustic decor, richer colors, and comforting foods. With the cooler weather upon us, we have been enjoying staying indoors and snuggling up with a good book & some tea. We’ve also been enjoying all the outdoor festivities that Fall has to offer – apple picking, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, walks in the park, and jumping in leaves. There truly is something magical and indescribable about Autumn. Now on to what we love… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! We hope everyone had a wonderful first week of October. If you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page, be sure to head on over now. We are giving away 11 assorted sheets of our hard felt, and we are so excited for whoever wins this one. You can find lots of felt projects inspiration on our Pinterest.

It’s time to end another great with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some wonderful projects featuring our What a Gem Collection, from Julie of Mackenzie Monroe. Mackenzie Monroe started from the need for a creative outlet. Interior designer by day, sewing enthusiast by night, Julie decided to channel her love for sewing in a fun way. She found a passion for sewing and fabrics in her seventh grade home economics class, a love that only sparked further in college and adulthood. Julie started Mackenzie Monroe in 2011, where she sells her beautiful creations – bags, totes, doggie accessories, and much more can be found at her shop. Julie also attends local craft markets where she also sells her lovely creations.

Julie loves fun and whimsical fabrics, and has chosen our What a Gem for some of her tote bags. They look so lovely, we just had to share them with you all!! She used our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection for the main print, choosing to highlight the prettiness of the designs against a canvas accent fabric. We think they look oh-so pretty, and would be beautiful everyday bags to carry your essentials…

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Julie!! We absolutely adore the bags and are so happy that you love our What a Gem collection. You can check out all of Julie’s creations at her Etsy Shop and Facebook Page. Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are doing well today. If you haven’t seen yesterday’s post, we are hosting another Winsday this week. We are giving away 11 Assorted Sheets of our hard felt on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to check it out and enter!

Time to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic fabric shop – Fabric Worm. Cynthia Mann, owner of Fabric Worm, has always been surrounded by craftiness, with her mum being an avid crafter and entrepreneur. As a little girl, she remembers picking out fabric with her mum to create matching dresses for her and her “Mandy and Jenny” dolls. Her mum has always been busy with her hands, making dough ornaments or sewing clothes, and is now an avid stamper and “Stampin’ Up” Representative. Inspired by mum, Cynthia also really loves to make handmade things but her choice is with pretty fabrics. She has two little boys and loves to make dinosaurs, robots and rocket ships, among other awesome boy things, for them!

Fabric Worm started online, as a small fabric Etsy Shop, and has now expanded to its own website and store. The definition of a ‘fabric worm’ is “a person devoted to fabric” and that is definitely the perfect representation of who they are, who we are, and who their followers are. Fabric Worm is also very active on social media, and has posted about their favorite collections. They have shared a couple of our collections (What a Gem, Let’s Go, and Playground), and the response from their fans was incredible!! It was so fun reading all the wonderful comments about our collections.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Fabric Worm!! We really appreciate it. You can check out Fabric Worm on their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, blog, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Did anyone work on any fun projects? :) We have also hosting our Itty Bitty FQB x Aurifil Giveaway this week on our Facebook – be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet :)

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! We’re featuring one of our incredible licenses this week…our Ultimate Spider-Man II Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. This one is for all of our Marvel and Spidie fans – a collection of the iconic red and blue colors that showcase our main man brilliantly. Encapsulated in vivacious blue and red, Ultimate Spider-Man II features Spidie to the rescue, and of course using his iconic spiderweb.  All of the designs in our Ultimate Spider-Man II collection are great for a little (or not so little) man’s bedroom – imagine some Spider-man pillows and curtains, finished by an awesome blue- and red-infused quilt…perfect for a little superhero-in-training!

We were inspired by the classic red and blue colors in our Ultimate Spider-Man II Collection, and Dior’s Fall 2014 RTW Collection encapsulates a very futuristic and superhero-esque feel. We absolutely adore that this collection is color-focused, using bright and bolder colors as opposed to letting patterns voice the collection. We love color-blocking, and Dior’s collection does this brilliantly. Of course, we were inspired by the red and blue outfit (Spider-Man colors!)…two colors that you wouldn’t necessary put together in an outfit, but look fantastic! You can check out the full Dior Fall 2014 collection here.

We hope our Moody Monday has inspired you today; sometimes taking a chance and putting together two colors that you think might not work will create something new and fantastic. Have a good one, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
