Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far, and didn’t go too crazy with yesterday’s Cyber Monday. If you did, no worries…it’s the last day to enter our Winsday, and we are giving away our Spectrum FQ Bundle this week. Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our fantastic No Sew Mod Tote on the blog. This adorable tote is a no-sew project, so it is the perfect beginner craft and for making with kids. As well, the mod look makes it super stylish and classic – the ideal bag for carrying your lunch with you!

The ducked tape interior is great for any spills because you can easily wipe it away clean with a cloth. Super convenient, super easy to make, and super stylish – what more could you want? :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Here’s to the start of another great week – can’t believe that it’s almost mid-August. Where do the days go? We’re trying to enjoy the last bits of hot weather – swimming, going to the beach, refreshing frozen yogurt, and shopping were some of our plans this weekend. What were some of your weekend adventures? Also, in case you’ve got a case of the Monday blues, we’ve got our Frolicking Forest Giveaway for you on our Facebook Page. Be sure to head on over there to enter!

Let’s get inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our London Fog by Camelot Design Studio Collection with you. London Fog is a classic palette of warm mustard, navy, gray, and a splash of mint. Ruched, tweed, and pretty geometric patterns make this collection contemporary, yet playful. There is a rustic and cozy feel to London Fog, which reminds us of those rainy days spent indoors snuggling into a knitted blanket with a great book and some warm tea. We can imagine a beautiful shift dress or robe in our London Fog’s turquoise and navy print, a men’s tie in contemporary colours, and a modern geometric-infused quilt for a couch accent or bedspread. London Fog is one dashing and classic-feeling collection!

Even though we are still enjoying our summertime, we are starting to think about the transitional period between Summer and Autumn weather. During that time, colors will darken and become more muted. We love the idea of Fall textures and colors with a summer-appropriate outfit, such as a light blouse and a tweed skirt or a t-shirt dress and a utility vest. These simple changes can take your summer wardrobe into the Fall without completely changing your style, or disregarding your Summer items! By mixing and matching Summer and Fall pieces, you’ll get the perfect transitional outfits for Autumn weather.

The outfit below is a perfect example of that – a light, mustard-color blouse and a tweed & leather mini skirt makes this a great transition-into-Fall outfit. Add some black tights and over-the-knee boots and you’ve got yourself a Fall outfit! The patterns and colors in this outfit remind us of our London Fog Collection, and it has definitely inspired us to create our own transitional outfits using our Summer wardrobe. You can check out the full London Fog Collection here!

We hope you have enjoyed, and have been inspired by, this week’s Moody Monday!! We’d love to know how you slowly transition your style from Summer to Autumn! Have a great day, everyone :)

Happy Sewing!

DAY THREE of our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week means it’s time to feature our third collection! On Monday we shared with you our Paddington Bear by Camelot Design Studio Collection, and yesterday, we featured our whimsical It’s a Bird’s Life Collection by Heather Rosas. Be sure to check out both collections, as well as their coordinating free projects, on our website and blog.

Today we are launching our London Fog by Camelot Design Studio Collection! as the name suggests, London Fog is all about demureness and class. With its subdued color palette of warm grey, navy, turquoise, and mustard, London Fog reminds us of a cloudy, but cozy afternoon. Who wouldn’t love to snuggle up in a pretty quilt, with a warm mug of English Breakfast tea, listening to the rain fall? All you need are some fuzzy slippers, your cozy robe, your favorite book, and a blueberry scone or two…and you have yourself the perfect way to spend a rainy day!

There is a contemporary and elegant feel to this collection, and would make for the perfect shirt or tie pairing for your guy’s next event. And of course, we can’t forget our girls! A stunning morning robe or shift dress would be so lovely with our London Fog collection.We absolutely adore our Tumbling Jewels by the Cloth Parcel Quilt with this collection; the blue and grey hues complement one another perfectly to make a very sleek and modern quilt.

We would love to know what your favorite SKU is from our London Fog Collection! How would you spend your perfect rainy day? As well, be sure to check out all of our free projects, including this quilt, this quilt, this quilt, this quilted pillow, and our trellis edged robe.
