Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week – woo for it being just about the weekend. TGIF! And to get your weekend started, have you entered our #GypsyLane FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? ;)

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a gorgeous bag by Reece Montgomery, featuring our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection. A Canadian mom, sewer, and blogger, the super talented Reece used a bag pattern from Sew Sweetness, and it turned out fab-U-lously! Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee is our fun metallic gold and silver collection of dots, chevrons, and animal prints shimmering away. Reece used our gold star metallic print for her bag, accented with a gold and black print handle, for a true “standout” bag. Shine, shimmer, and sparkle!! 

She also made a bunch of other fun projects with Heavy Metal, including a coffee cozy, makeup bag, clutch, keychain fob, and more!! Sooooo pretty. And who doesn’t love a fun giveaway, right? ;) Reece and Lisa of Sitka Fabrics are teaming up to give away a Heavy Metal FQ Bundle!! Woo!! Head on over to Reece’s blog on how to enter!

Thank you Reece for the fabric love! We are so glad you love our Heavy Metal Collection and chose to use it for your bag. It looks awesome!! You can find more from Reece at her blog. And with that, have an amazing weekend!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had an amazing week. We are currently at Quilt Market, Day 1, so be sure to stop by and say hi – booth #101!

Time to end the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely Wilksten Tank made by Melissa Karpetz. Wilksten is a wonderful online shop selling ethically-made (and mostly handmade!) clothing pieces, accessories (hats, ornaments), and patterns. Wilksten is run by a husband-wife doctor/pattern-making designer duo who “seek to encourage thoughtful buying by giving our customers a personal connection to their purchases”. Melissa is a home sewer who shares her creations on Instagram, one being the Wilksten Tank she created with our Cove Collection. She chose a cozy turquoise and grey geometric pattern that works really well with the flowy tank – perfect to match with a pair of white pants and wedges. Our Cove Collection has a sea-inspired feel to it, so it was a perfect choice for the tank.

We really love this tank, Melissa, so thank you for sharing it with us! And thank you for the fabric love. We can think of lots of fun ways to style it for the Spring and Summer, such a great essential. You can find more from Melissa on Instagram. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! It’s almost the weeeeeekend. Woo! We hope all the moms have an incredible Mother’s Day this weekend, surrounded by lots of love and warm hugs. (Pssst.. we’re also hosting a Mother’s Day Giveaway!)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely personalized essential oils case found on the Girl Restored Shop. Jessie Carroll is the creative gal behind Girl Restored, an Etsy Shop dedicated to handmade, original bags of all sorts. She specializes in creating bags (clutches, train cases, makeup bags) with removable pockets for your essential oils, so that they are organized & will not spill everywhere. She also creates all of her own patterns, sells some of her patterns in her shop, and offers custom orders too.

Jessie chose our Bright Now by Jackie McFee Collection to create a fun, personalized case – complete with a personalized letter front, tassels, and pockets for your essential oils. She chose our yellow colorway for the bag, yellow drops for the shell & polka dots for the inner lining, that matched perfectly with the bronze letter and zipper tassel. The bag is a great size for all of your cosmetics, for travelling, and can hold up to 20 essential oil bottles.

Thank you, Jessie, for the fabric love!! You can find more from Girl Restored at her Etsy Shop, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. You can find her Bright Now bag here. Have a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! And Happy First of May!!! We are just SO excited for all the awesome things that will be happening this month…one being Quilt Market! Wooo – see you at booth 101!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful tunic by the blog szycie i cala reszta, featuring our Iconic Collection. Iconic is our feminine and dainty collection of pink, taupe, and navy hues in gorgeous geometrics. When we look at this collection, we feel very 1950s inspired – mid-length dresses, fabulous hats, and elegant accessories. We can imagine a lovely tea dress in our navy and pink sartorial print, worn by the iconic Coco Chanel herself!

The blogger behind szycie i cala reszta created a lovely tunic top with the french knot design of our Iconic Collection, and it looks so good!! We love the cleanness of the tunic, really showcasing the boldness of the print. Such a wonderful, chic tunic!

Thank you so much for sharing your Camelot Fabrics project with us! You can find more on her blog, Instagram, and Facebook. Her blog is in Polish, but her projects are so lovely to look at (I believe szycie is sewing in Polish) :) Have a great weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week. SO ready for the weekend! Who’s with me? We’re also giving away a Sea Life FQB on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter!

It’s time to end this week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super sweet baby quilt by Calamari Quilts, featuring our Folklore by Heather Rosas Collection. Calamari Quilts is an Etsy Shop dedicated to beautiful, handmade quilts. Mother-daughter, sewing duo Mary and Michelle are the creatives behind Calamari Quilts, both with a love for quilting, sewing, and creating high quality items. Inspired by the scenic views around her home and studio, Michelle creates quilts based on the beauty she sees everyday. When her daughter was born, she was given thirteen handmade blankets, and wants to pass along the special-ness she felt to other new mommies.

Calamari Quilts created an adorable baby girl’s quilt called “Wren’s Pals” with our Folklore Collection. We absolutely adore the brightness of the red, contrasted with the different grays in the striped quilt. Folklore is a very feminine and pretty collection of birdies and flowers, so it was the perfect choice for this little girl’s quilt. It would brighten up any nursery, and the extra touch on the binding is fabulous! Such a stunning quilt!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Calamari Quilts! You can find more from them at their Etsy Shop and Instagram. So much more prettiness to be seen! And with that, have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Sewing!
