Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday and Happy Valentine’s Day!! We hope your day is filled with lots of love, hugs & kisses, and chocolate (the holiday just isn’t complete without some!). Have a fantastic day spending time with all you loved ones. Us ladies at the office were super spoiled with pretty roses today!! ♥

Today is also Fan Friday on the blog, and today we are sharing a girl who adores good, old classic cartoons and sewing…two qualities that make her a win for us, but just wait till you see her designs! The creator behind Always Amazing Designs used her love for classic cartoons and characters as inspiration for her sewing projects, a hobby that soon turned into a successful business.

Some of her favorite characters include Disney, Sesame Street, Marvel and DC Comics, Hello Kitty, and Archie Comics. With her fantastic choice in fabric designs featuring these cartoons, she has created awesome coin purses, tablet/iPad cases, camera cases, and small messenger bags for all the fellow character enthusiasts. Now you can keep all your electronics in safekeeping, while being nostalgic of all the characters and shows that made your childhood.

Always Amazing Designs especially loved our Archie Comics fabric collection, which is a very bright and vivacious collection with a vintage twist. All of your favorite characters from the beloved comic is featured, including the love trio Archie, Betty, and Veronica. Which duo were you rooting for? :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is had a great week. TGIF!! Today is National Wear Red Day, a day started by the AHA to bring awareness on the battle against heart disease in women. Such an amazing cause! And speaking of red, have you entered our Betty Boop FQ Bundle giveaway yet? Let us know what outfit makes you feel the most confident! ♥

To mark the end of another wonderful week, we have our Fan Friday post for you! One of our most favorite things ever is seeing projects created with our fabric designs and projects using our free projects found on our website & blog. You all are awesome!!

Today we are sharing Strange Stork, a duo team of creative girls sharing their love for fabric with the world…one bag or bib at a time. Strange Stork is an online shop dedicated to geekery and punk baby gifts, created by Cynn and Vanessa. Their handmade items include baby bibs, burp cloths, pouches, bags, and more using colorful and fun fabric choices. While their shop is dedicated to the little ones, they have organizational products for mommies too!

Vanessa and Cynn especially adore our Star Wars fabric, using a couple of our most coveted designs for their products. However, the girls also have a soft spot for all things adorable (who wouldn’t?!)…such as our Baby Dino Collection! This collection is perfect for all dinosaur enthusiasts…and just in time for Valentine’s Day too with the complimentary heart designs. The collection is bright and happy, colorfully designed with sweet dinosaur friends! Here are some of our favorites:

Vanessa also has her own correlating Etsy Shop, Mean Look, showcasing items dedicated to adults (skirts, bags, magnets, and more!). Both Strange Stork and Mean Look are great stores to check out for all your “geekery” needs, for both you and baby. We wanted to thank the girls for their support, and for sharing with us their fantastic shops!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s just about the weekend, and we hope everyone has had a blissful week. We can’t believe that there is only a week left of January. How has everyone’s New Years resolutions been coming along? :) We’re only at the beginning of the year, so there’s still time to get started on your goals. Tomorrow is also Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day, a day to celebrate independently-owned quilt shops. So if you’re not sure what to do this weekend, be sure to check out your local quilt shops for special events and more!

It’s also time for another Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a fantastic, geek-approved Etsy Shop called FashionablyGeeky247. Ashley, owner and designer of FashionablyGeeky247, is a full-time college student and started up her shop as a way to showcase her love of all things geeky and crafting.

She custom designs the dresses to each customer and each design can be created with a multitude of fabric options. All of the dresses are very 50s inspired, with their full skirts and bustier tops. Ashley has chosen lots of our Star Wars fabric designs for her dresses, and we definitely needed to share! All the dresses are beautiful and look amazing with our Star Wars designs.

In the wise words of Ashley herself, “I created this shop to give fellow Star Wars fans, Trekkies, and Super Hero lovers a chance to be fashionably geeky. We can wear a dress that shouts I LOVE STAR WARS or I LOVE BATMAN and still have that femininity to attract everyone around us. Guys love geeks and Girls love fashion, so that’s why my store is perfect for the girls who wants to be ‘Fashionably Geeky'”. Definitely well said, who says being “geeky” isn’t also stylish and feminine? :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! It’s just about the weekend!! Does anyone have any special plans? It’s going to be rainy here for us, but we’re looking forward to a movie night in – complete with buttered popcorn, S’mores, warm socks, and a much needed Katherine Heigl movie marathon. Cheers to the weekend! :)

Today is Fan Friday here on the blog, and today we’ve got a super special treat (for both you and us!). We adore seeing all your projects using our fabric, but we’ve recently been posting our DIY free projects on our site which we are very excited and proud of. One of our most recent projects have been our Stegosaurus Plush Toys, and we received the best surprise from Judi who created her own steggies!

They are honestly absolutely too adorable for words. Judi created four of her own stegosauruses for her grandchildren, using our patterns, and even put her own spin on each of them. We love that each stegosaurus has its own personality – so so cute!!

Hello sweet steggies!! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed using our stegosaurus pattern, Judi! As well, thank you SO much for sharing your project with us. Everyone here is gushing over how adorable and lovely they are!!

We hope everyone has enjoyed today’s Fan Friday post. If you have used any of our free projects or our fabric, we would LOVE to see your projects! You can always send us pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com :) Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. It’s almost the weekend!! Three days into the new year, and we are feeling great. So ecstatic and happy for all the amazing things to come in the new year. What is everyone’s plans for the upcoming weekend? It’s the first weekend after the holidays, so we think a sit-down by the fire with a good book sounds just about right.

Today is Fan Friday on the blog, and we’ve got another great person to share. Coral, quilter and crafter (we adore her already!), shared with us her “Boldly Go” pillows with us using our Star Trek fabric and we absolutely love them! After Coral’s sister-in-law saw an advertisement of Star Trek fabric at a local quilt shop in Australia, Coral thought it would make a great project idea. She bought the fabric, used Design Sponge’s Pillow Tutorial, and thus two Trek-worthy pillows were created!

She designed one with our Blue Space fabric, and one with our Characters fabric. Coral and her mother-in-law bonded over their mutual love for Star Trek (both big Trekkies…though her mother-in-law prefers the newer series to the original), and will be gifting them to her for her birthday in January! Check out the pillows below:

Thank you so much Coral for sharing your amazing projects with us, and for allowing us to share them! We are so happy that, as a true Trekkie, you adore our Star Trek fabric! You can check out Coral on Twitter. Thank you so much for reading today’s Fan Friday. Happy Weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!
