Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! The weekend is just about here, so we hope everyone has a great one. This weekend we’ve got some Christmas shopping and decorating planned; still lots to do with less than three weeks left till the big day!

And keeping in tune with the holidays, we’ve got our daily holiday question! Today the question is:  What is your favorite holiday drink? Let us know your answer in the comments below! My favorite holiday drink would definitely be Starbucks’ Skinny Peppermint Mocha (with soy milk)…ohh soo nummy! I’m an avid green tea drinker at Starbucks, but when the holiday season comes around it’s all about the peppermint mochas (and red cups!). Let’s see what our Design Studio team’s favorites are:

Marion: Hot cocoa with cinnamon, and a tiny bit of vanilla!

Valeria: My dad makes the most amazing Kir Royale every year for me! I love it! 

Juan: Aguardiente!!

Andra: Homemade hot cocoa – melting my favorite store-bought chocolate with hot milk, and whisking them together with Bailey’s! 

Shannen: The first, freshly brewed cup of coffee on Christmas morning before opening presents!

For today’s Fan Friday we are featuring a very sweet and crafty lady, Sam from Edie & Me! Sam started her crafting phase when she was pregnant with daughter Edie, but since then her hobby has only grown. Soon after, she opened up an Etsy shop (named after the mother/daughter duo!) to share her creations with others. Edie & Me specializes in baby essentials, from change mats to wipe cases to bibs in beautiful designs and fabrics for the trendy mommies and babies out there! All her products are adorable, well-made, and of course easily practical for the every day.

Edie & Me has chosen some of our fabric for her snazzy products, and we absolutely adore them!! We definitely concur with babies looking chic while struttin’ their stuff. A couple of our favorites are using our Simply Fashionista and Hot Chocolate (both by Jackie McFee) collections! Check below to see the beautiful designs:

Thank you so much, Sam and Edie, for the support! We are so happy that you love our fabric designs to make mommies and babies around the world happy & stylin’! Be sure to check out her Etsy shop for more, as well as her Facebook and blog! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We are super excited that it’s just about the weekend. We hope everyone has had a fantastic week. We can’t believe that December is just about here, though our weather isn’t denying us of the winter weather (we’ve been hitting below 0°C and have gotten snow already!). You know what they say: if you can’t beat ’em, then join ’em – here’s to the upcoming months of skating, skiing, and tobogganing! :)

Today is another appropriate blog post with the American Thanksgiving being amongst us with our Fan Fridays! Our Fan Fridays are dedicated to all our loyal supporters who share their beloved projects with us using our fabric designs. We ADORE seeing all the crafty projects! :)

Today we are sharing with you someone who equally loves all things “geek”, Ellie from Vampire Bunnies. We also have a current Star Trek fabric giveaway happening right now too! You could win 6 yards of some pretty incredible Star Trek fabric…click here to enter!

Aside from her absolutely incredible name, Ellie adores both a vintage-esque style and the geekery world, and combines her two loves in her store. She designs and creates sweetheart dresses and accessories using fun, colorful prints…including many of our designs such as Star Trek, Girl Power (DC Girl Comics), Marvel, and Star Wars. Check out some of our favorites:

Hi everyone!

It’s Friday…TGIF!! We hope everyone has had a fantastic work week, but we are definitely ready for some weekend adventures. With today officially being mid-November, there really is no escaping the coming Winter season but there are lots of enjoyable, cold-weather activities to do that will be sure to warm you up (well, warm your heart and soul at least hehe). Here’s to a blissful, fun-filled season!

Today we’ve got another great fan project to share with you for Fan Friday. Fiona Ryan created her own dress pattern (we are so beyond amazed!!) and used our Star Wars Spaceships design as her fabric of choice. Take a look at the pretty pieces lined up, all ready to be sewn!

The dress that Fiona created is a beautiful, vintage-inspired design with a sweetheart bustier top and halter-style straps. The dress is elegantly finished off with three white buttons and some white pipping along the neckline. The finished dress with our Star Wars Spaceships fabric came out flawlessly, and Fiona looks absolutely stunning in it!

Thank you so much Fiona for sharing your AH-MAZING self-made dress with us. We’re so flattered you chose our Star Wars fabric. Be sure to check out this crafty lady’s other creative projects on her Twitter and Facebook pages. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday and are as inspired as we are!

PS: Have you seen yesterday’s Winsday? You could win our Birds of a Feather FQ Bundle by telling us what you would create with the fabric. Comment and enter on the blog post here. Good luck! We will be announcing the winner on next week’s Winsday post.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

It’s Friday!! We hope that you have all had a fabulous week. Some things we are looking forward to this weekend are mastering the perfect mini apple tartlets, creating a playlist of upbeat old-and-new holiday songs, DIYing something (or everything!) with glitter, and taking a lovely afternoon walk in the brisk but beautiful fall weather. What are your plans for the weekend?

For today’s Fan Friday, we are sharing with you a project by Sondra Blank. She used our Superman Man of Steel flannel to create a super-hero worthy crib sheet for her little one. The mattress cover is brilliant, and our Superman flannel design fits perfectly with her boy’s blue and green color-schemed bedroom. This is one crib sheet that would make any superhero-in-training happy!

In correlation with all things boys, have you checked out Mdm Samm’s Boy Blog Hop yet? We are the official sponsor, and you could win one of our three boy-inspired fabric bundles! Be sure to check out the Sew We Quilt Blog here for all updates and information. Be sure to check out all the amazing boy-inspired projects!

PS: If you have created a project using any of our fabrics and would love to be featured in a future Fan Friday post, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com or @mention us on twitter. We LOVE seeing all of your incredible projects using our fabric designs!

Thank you so much, Sondra, for sharing your project with us! Wishing everyone a lovely weekend.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

October has officially come to an end…Happy November! We are SO excited for all the holiday excitement and cheer that will soon be encapsulating the frosty air. Our November To-Do List includes listening to holiday music (never too early!), baking lots of pumpkin and apple pie, sitting by the fireplace with a good book, supporting all the men participating in Movember, and of course, starting to decorate the office with a garland…or two! And to kick-start this wonderful November, it’s time for another Fan Friday.

Today we are featuring two projects by Another Eternity using our Star Wars fabric…a zippered pillow and a drawstring bag! Check below for some pictures:

They are super well done, and the perfect projects for any Star Wars enthusiast! Thank you so much, Another Eternity, for sharing your Star Wars projects with us!!

If you have created a project using any of our fabrics and would love to be featured in a future Fan Friday post, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com or @mention us on twitter. We LOVE seeing all of you incredible projects using our fabric designs!
