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!

TGIF!! Wishing everyone a lovely Friday, and a Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all our fellow Canadians! Here at Camelot Fabrics, we have much to be thankful for…especially all of those who love our fabrics as much as we do! Seeing all the amazing and unique projects created using our fabrics truly make our days.

Today’s Fan Friday features the wonderfully talented Beth, and her lovely Geek-a-Bye Baby team!

Geek-a-Bye Baby started out as Beth’s quest for the perfect baby bedding (aka pirate monkeys…umm, how awesome!!) for the dream of a pirate monkeys-themed nursery. After no such luck on bedding, she decided to look for some pirate monkey fabric to bring her vision to life. Once her little one was born, she went all out making adorable “geek-worthy” blankies for her, and after many positive comments from strangers on starting up her own shop to sell them…she did! And thus, Geek-a-Bye Baby was born…and has only been growing wonderfully since! Geek-a-Bye Baby now carries a wide-range of “geeky” baby items, from burp cloths to sweet crocheted hats to custom bedding.

We are so honored to be one of Beth’s fabric choices for her designs! Seeing our Star Trek and Star Wars fabrics created into darling bedding sheets and baby bibs makes our hearts swoon. We think once you see them, you will feel the same. Here are some of our personal favorites:
