Welcome!

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 Friday! How has everyone’s week been? It’s been pretty nice here weather-wise, so definitely no complaints…a great way to start off the Fall season. As well, it’s National Pancake Day so we’re thinking pancakes for dinner tonight? Why not haha! We love us a good ol’ stack of blueberry (or chocolate chip…or pumpkin spice…or plain for that matter, we won’t say no) pancakes! Oh yum!! :)

It’s time to end another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful little business that has recently made its way online to Etsy. And, as always, this shop features lots of stunning items in delicious and beautiful fabric selections. Lynn, of Lynn Patricia Designs, absolutely adores to sew and finds joy in her sewing studio, playing with all her colorful fabrics and making her sewing machine hum. Because of her passion, she decided to start Lynn Patricia Designs to start selling her designs. She loves bright and colorful patterns, and chooses them to make fun handbags, key fobs, wallets, and other accessories. As well, Lynn can be found at Arts & Crafts Fairs in the Ohio area selling all her lovely designs…

Lynn created these awesome insulated water bottle totes that are great for on-the-go, road trips, and diaper bags! We really love the idea of this water bottle tote, and such a brilliant idea that it is insulated (great for hot and cold drinks). Lynn used our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection for her insulated water bottle totes, and they look fantastic! Our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection makes this water bottle tote bright, fun, and adorable.

Thank you for the fabric love!! We absolutely love your Frolicking Forest insulated water bottle tote. You can check out more from Lynn Patricia Designs, and see where she will be next, at her Etsy Shop. Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! YAY for the weekend; wishing everyone a fantastic one! As well, we are hosting a Paisley Please + Coordinating Aurifil Threads Giveaway on our Facebook Page. You can enter our giveaway HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! And we’ve got one that is perfect to end this week and kick-start the weekend. Today we are featuring a really beautiful Etsy Shop, Sew Liab. Martina Croom, owner and creative behind Sew Liab, is a military mom currently stationed in Northern France and a sewing enthusiast. It was teachers, family, and her husband who encouraged her to start a shop to sell her creations, and thus her Etsy Shop was born.

The name Sew Liab has two origins: Sew is to represent what she loves to do, and Liab; a Austrian vernacular for cute, sweet and precious to express what she sells. The name fits perfectly for her shop, because Martina sells the sweetest of handmade clothing (dresses, tunics, etc), quilts, baby items, toys, bags, and more! As well, Martina has a keen eye for adorable, but modern fabric collections to use, to make all her designs bright, happy, and fun.

Martina chose our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection for her lovely Pencil Pouches. The structure is perfect for storing all your coloring tools, but can also be used as a makeup bag, sewing supplies carrier, or bag separator. The fox designs add an adorable flair to this pencil pouch, that everyone will be asking where you got it from! We adore the sweet foxes, raccoons, and flora patterns decorating the happy pouches from Let’s Go. And what makes Martina super awesome is the customization factor of her shop – you can also request a larger size of this pouch, as a toiletry bag or diaper clutch! Check out her awesome Let’s Go Pencil Pouch here.

We want to thank Martina for the wonderful fabric love!! We are so happy you love our Let’s Go Collection, and decided to choose it for your beautiful pencil pouches. Be sure to check out more from Martina at her Etsy Shop, as well as her Facebook Page. We hope everyone has a great weekend! Until next week…

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday everyone!! TGIF!! We hope everyone is having a fantastic end of the week; will anyone be working on any fun projects this weekend? If you need any inspiration, feel free to browse our DIYs…we’re sure you will find some inspiration and something you like :)

For today’s Fan Friday we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop, Not Without Annette, run by the lovely Annette. By day, Annette works for a large utility company in the IT department, but one of her passions lies in fabric and sewing. Annette has been crafting for almost all her life – she learned to crochet at the age of 8 by watching her babysitter. She also enjoys knitting, needlepoint, counted cross-stitch, and apparel sewing, but her true calling is quilting. She is a self-taught quilter, watching and following Fons & Porter, Eleanor Burns, and Alex Anderson as inspirations.

Her Etsy Shop started from those around her telling her “Oh, you should sell those!” in regards to her handmade gifts over the years. Annette now sells really fun and unique, all-handmade and mostly “Made in America” items such as her Cupcake Purse, Crayon Tote, Book Bags, and Tissue Cozies. She is a devoted animal lover, with 100% of the proceeds from her tissue cozies are donated to various animal charities in the US (DASH, the local animal shelter, HALO, the Blind Cat Sanctuary, and others). As of 6/15/2014, over $1,350 has gone to these organizations. Annette loves whimsical and cartoon fabric prints, and loves Camelot Fabrics! She has chosen our Girl Power Collection for her Crayon Tote, our Star Trek Collection for one of her Tissue Cozies, amongst some other of our fabric collections!

You’ll have to check out Annette’s Shop for lots more goodies! There’s definitely something for everyone, especially for the little kiddos. You can also check out Annette on Facebook, Pinterest, and her website. Have a great weekend, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! We hope you all had a fantastic week. But guess what? It’s almost the weekend!! And what else that is awesome is our giveaway – we are giving away a Neon & On FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

Time to end another fun week with a Fan Friday post! Today we are featuring Simply Stitched by Sara, an Etsy shop dedicated to providing high-quality, handmade baby essentials such as baby blankets, bibs, burp cloths, hand-cut appliqued clothing, and more! Sara Sebero Bryant, owner and creator of Simply Stitched by Sara, loves modern fabric designs with bold, bright, and fun prints & colors. She chooses and uses these fabrics for her baby essentials, making them equally fabulous and on-trend. Sara is also a stay-at-home mommy of two and military wife & veteran. She learned how to sew at a young age, sitting on her mother’s lap while she sewed…and her passion for sewing only grew as she did. She was able to turn her passion into a business, creating unique baby essentials and sharing them with the world.

Sara loves our What a Gem and Penelope Collections, and used them in her designs. We thought they were beautiful, and just had to share her creations with all of you. The first is a baby bandana, which is as adorable as it is stylish. The baby bandana is “a creative and unique alternative to the traditional bib – the bandana bib will have your little one drooling in style, while keeping them dry”. We love the idea, and we definitely agree that any little one will be rocking with style in our What a Gem collection.

The next project we absolutely adore is this Luxurious Chenille Burp Cloth, with our Penelope collection. In addition to being gorgeous and cuddly, this burp blanket is “designed for the hip, trendy parents on the go to withstand the ickiest and messiest of spills and spits”. Any baby using this chenille burp cloth will definitely feel posh and comforted! LOVE!!

We want to thank Sara for the major fabric love!! We are so happy that you love using our fabrics, and that you have made such beautiful pieces with them. Be sure to check out Sara’s Etsy Shop, as well as her Facebook Page for a lot more goodies. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
