Welcome!

It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so we thought we’d share our Top 6 Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas (with tutorials) for you all! Dads: the guy who taught us how to ride a bike, makes the best burgers and grilled veggies (yum!), “showed” us how to change a tire (though, we still need him for that…haha), took us for ice cream and let us have that extra scoop, and has supported & loved us unconditionally. We love you, Dads!

Still stumped on what to get your dad this year? We’ve got some fantastic last minute Father’s Day gift ideas with our quick & easy DIY projects! Remember those construction paper ties or handprint cards we used to make in school for dads? All our gift ideas are handmade, and just as much from the heart (just the grownup version! haha). Check out our free tutorials, as our DIY Passport Cover or Star Trek Bag!You can find all the free printable PDFs to our projects on our website.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to the week. It’s Father’s Day this weekend!! It’s the day to celebrate the man who has always been there for us, no matter what. And this includes (but is not limited to!) killing spiders, shoveling the snow in -30 C weather, making us his famous spaghetti when mom was sick, miraculously fixing that hairdryer that you thought you broke, and loving us unconditionally. We appreciate everything that you do for us, Dads – thank you for everything! :)

What better way to show your dad how much he means to you by making something from the heart. We have an awesome Passport Cover Tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day that would be the perfect gift for that inspiring man in your life. This sleek passport cover is such an essential for any avid traveler – there is nothing worse than rummaging through your things while at the airport trying to find your passport. As if airports weren’t stressful enough! With our cover, your passport will be protected…and with the pretty fabric, easy to find! The elastic band adds extra security, so you can slip your airline ticket and other essentials inside too. And with the inner pockets, you can hide away extra money or cards. We especially love our passport cover with our navy and tan prints from Paisley Please; stylish but neutral enough for a man.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We are happily enjoying the sunshine and warm weather today. The pretty weather is making us daydream of taking a relaxing, tropical vacation to Turks & Caicos or Hawaii! And speaking of dreaming, we have got a DIY project to share with you today that reminds us of just that. Our heads are in the clouds today…

This week’s How To’s Day is our DIY Star and Cloud Shape Pillows tutorial! All of you fellow dreamers and astronomy lovers, this project is perfect for you. Another bonus, it is super easy to make AND is an exceptionally adorable project! Our shape pillows would be a great addition to a sky-themed bedroom (think clouds and stars scattered across a blue comforter!) or as a gift for a future astronaut! We always love to encourage creativity here, so these would be perfect playtime toys for kids – let their imaginations run free – and then a comfy accompaniment for naptime (because all that playing can wear you out, after all!). We adore our shape pillows with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis, a brilliant and bold airplane- and sky-themed collection!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone’s Thursday has been going well so far; the weekend is just about here! Be sure to check out our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Facebook Giveaway HERE to enter a chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spools Case!!

We’ve got our Thankful Thursday for you all!! Today we are featuring one of our incredible quilt designers, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis! Tammy has been quilting since 1991, and has a continued love and passion for fabrics & sewing. She loves to work with all sorts of fabrics, but she admits that her favorites include batiks, bold prints, and chicken prints. Tammy is the owner of Tamarinis, a quilt pattern company dedicated to unique and fantastic quilt designs. Tammy has a wonderful mix of traditional and more modern quilt designs, all of which are aesthetically beautiful and influenced by her art & literature background. We had the awesome opportunity of collaborating with Tammy on a couple of quilt designs, and even had some sewn up for Spring Quilt Market!

One of the exclusive quilt patterns Tammy designed for us is Quilt Bars – a clean and bordered quilt design that works well with a multitude of fabric designs. We love how the design draws the eyes towards the middle, but isn’t busy because of the quilt’s simplicity. We had Quilt Bars done with our Iconic Collection for Quilt Market, and it looked absolutely incredible in our Iconic room! Soso stunning!!

The second quilt design that Tammy created for us is Play Date – a really fun, baby-sized quilt with adorable pinwheel details! We had the quilt sewn up with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and it was perfect for our Take Flight boy’s room set-up at Quilt Market. We love how the blues, reds, and creams in this collection work perfectly – and the pinwheels are even reminiscent of propellers! What we were in awe by was the cloud embroidery that Tammy did on this quilt; so detail-oriented and absolutely beautiful!!

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Tammy of Tamarinis for creating two absolutely incredible quilt designs for us. All of Tammy’s quilt designs are clear and concise, and really wonderful to work with and understand. We heard so many positive comments on these two quilts at Quilt Market!! We are so incredibly thankful for your partnership, Tammy, and cannot wait for some future collaborations!! Stay tuned for some more beautiful things from Tamarinis, exclusively for Camelot Fabrics, coming soon. You can check out Tammy’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for more. Have a lovely day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a lovely day. Unfortunately, we’ve been getting some pretty yucky and muggy weather here as of late. We were surprised with a heavy downfall this morning, and some hail (yes, hail!) in some parts of the city this weekend. Let’s hope June will bring some more sunshine!!

To brighten up a gloomy day, we are here with our weekly How To’s Day! And this is a fun one, with colors that will surely brighten up any rainy day. And that is just what we need! Today we are sharing our Foldover Wedding Clutch Tutorial, featuring our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. With Summer approaching, it also means that party and wedding season are here too! And we couldn’t be any more excited!! Gorgeous floral arrangements, stunning gowns, delicious food, and heartwarming nuptials…we LOVE it all!  Plus, who wouldn’t want a reason to wear a cocktail dress and pretty accessories? :)

Our foldover wedding clutch is the perfect compliment to an even more perfect day!! This beautiful clutch would be a wonderful gift to show your loving bridesmaids how much they mean to you, or an added accessory to hold all your wedding day essentials! It would be great for a night out with the girlfriends or as a makeup/essentials pouch too. We adore the pop of color with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection; plus the suede or leather section is such a stylish detail!
