Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. We are hosting our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week…be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

Time for our Moody Monday!! Today we are featuring one of our beautiful collections from Spring 2013 – Mint to Be by the Camelot Design Studio. Mint to Be is an exquisite collection of orange, mint, and navy hues featuring modern prints of ombre, florals, and lovely geometric shapes. The three main colors in this collection – navy, mint, and orange – all strong and beautiful on their own, are equally stunning in contrast to one another. This collection is fresh, upbeat, and playful…and would make a beautiful playsuit for a little one or an on-trend dress for you!

One collection that is reminiscent of our Mint to Be collection is that of Michael Kors’ Spring 2015 RTW Collection. Michael Kors’ latest collection is packed with a punch of color, texture, and silhouettes that we cannot wait to wear for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. We love the bold floral prints and nautical feel of the whole collection, but we especially adore this pastel blue combo. It definitely reminds us of a design from Mint to Be, and we would most definitely sport this whole look! You can check out Michael Kors’ full collection here.

You can check out our Mint to Be collection, with all its lovely prints and patterns, here. We’d love to know which design is your favorite. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It is the last day to enter our Itty Bitty FQB x coordinating Aurifil Spools Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you’d like. Good Luck to everyone entering!! PS: We’ve been excitedly going through all the new summer song suggestions, and have been loving them in the office…so thank you so much! :)

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! We absolutely adore Burda Style, and are often found perusing on their website and magazines for sewing and style inspiration. They have a ton of creative and beautiful content each issue, there’s always something new, and we’re always inspired! As well, their patterns are always on-trend and such an ease to work with. They have a fantastic webisode dedicated to sharing sewing tips & tricks, as well as fun project tutorials for everyone. They have an online forum and gallery where fellow sewing enthusiasts can post their newest creations, either using a Burda Style tutorial or one that they made themselves…such a great place to share!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday! Hope you have all had a lovely and restful weekend. Today we have officially dipped below O°C and have seen our first glimpse of frosted sidewalks…the true sign that, though not all will be in a communal hoorah, winter is a-comin’!

Today we bring to you another Moody Monday, and in correlation with our current Winsday Giveaway, we are sharing our Mint to Be Moodboard!

Our Mint to Be fabric collection is an array of mint, orange, and blue hues in pretty floral, ombre, ikat, and mandala patterns. The three colors are stunning on their own, but placed together encapsulate a beautiful range of complements. The colors are equally vibrant and warm, and would be perfect for any future home decor projects, or for your (or your daughter’s) next party dress!

One recent Fall 2013 collection that is the perfect accompaniment to our Mint to Be collection is Michael Kors’s 2013 RTW. The main colors involved in this collection are vibrant orange, amber, blue, and green hues mixed together effortlessly with black and camo prints. The designs from this collection are almost futuristic, but still with a sleek and classic vibe with their tulip skirts, oversized coats, tweed blazers, and herringbone patterns. Though an abundance of different silhouettes and patterns, together they are seamless, as are the designs in our Mint to Be collection. This modern and out-of-this-world collection can be seen here.

If you adore this collection and would like to enter a chance to win a Mint to Be FQB…you’re in luck! We are giving away a Mint to Be FQB for last week’s Winsday, and you still have until this Wednesday to enter. Just tweet our hashtag #SEWSOCIAL and you will be officially entered. We will announce the winner on this week’s Winsday post. Stay tuned and good luck!! Click here for the complete giveaway information.

Happy Sewing!
