Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of winter wonderland, starting off with our Moody Monday feature. Today we showcase our mysterious & feminine Elixir collection, which is reflected beautifully in this dazzling gown from Dennis Basso’s Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection. We’re utterly enchanted with the subtle sparkle and liquid drape of this dress, especially when paired with a luxurious furry wrap.

We adore the decadent elegance of Basso’s line for this coming Spring. All those gorgeous textures! Mmmmm …

Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday as much as we have, and happy sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and are having a good day back. It’s been chilly these days, but that didn’t stop us from heading out for some winter fun! Early Christmas celebrations, ice skating, and delicious crepes were some of our favorite activities from the weekend.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Botanical Collection by Alisse Courter. Botanical is a wonderful collection of all things flora – the intricate floral, leaves, twigs, and damask prints are all stunning in a green, grey, and golden color palette. This brooding collection is warm and captivating, the rich tones reminding us of all things woods-y and autumnal. Botanical would make for a wonderful shift dress, for a garden party, with an accompanying headpiece. And how majestic would a Botanical quilt be, as a bed cover or wall decor – oh, so divine!

We adore Noon by Noor‘s Spring 2014 collection – it had a wonderfully feminine and soft feel to it, in both colors and texture. Silks, rose ruffles, tulle, extravagant jewels, and flora patterns were impeccable and made us want to twirl around & dance in any of the outfits! They were made for a magical night out. We especially adore this leaf printed dress, that reminds us of our Botanical Collection. We would definitely wear this stunning dress to our next fancy affair! ;)

We hope we have added a boost to your day, and have inspired you with our Moody Monday! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! And Happy December!! It’s the official 25 day countdown to Christmas, and we are so incredibly excited!! We’ve got lots of fun and exciting things planned for the blog, so stay tuned. It’s going to be a wonderful holiday season!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with Coraline by Camelot Design Studio – a collection of grey, navy, and coral hues in prints of drops, lattices, ombre, and chevrons. This collection is very feminine and sweet, and would make for the prettiest little girl’s dress for a tea party…or everyday dress-up! We could imagine our Coraline Collection in some beautiful tabbed curtains or simple pillows to add some prettiness to any room. Such an elegant collection that is sure to please any peony-loving, tea-loving gal! :)

We adore this Spring 2015 RTW Collection by Orla Kiely, a collection full of pretty pastels in bold geometric prints and patterns that remind us of all the wonders of springtime. Super girly and playful, this collection includes adorable shift dresses, cropped pants, and midriff outfits accessorized with peter pan collars, bows, and floral pumps. Such a cute collection – and the floral backdrop is the cherry on top! We adore this coral printed dress, that reminds us of our Coraline Collection. Check out the rest of the collection here!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Let the Christmas countdown commence… have a great day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to week so far. We can’t believe that it’s the last week of November – only 30 more days till Christmas!! Our holiday festivities are starting next week, so we are busy preparing for everything – decorations, baking, festive music – we are oh-so excited!!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with one of our collections called Playground by Vita Mechachonis. Playground is a super fun collection reminiscing to all the things we love most about our childhood, outdoor adventures. From playground rides to balloons to hopscotch, our Playground collection will bring you back to childhood memories. Mixed with whimsical numbers, chevrons, and flowers in a muted orange, blue, and yellow color palette…this collection is sure to please kids of all ages! We love the idea of our Tiny Adventurer’s Dress or Tunic & Bloomers in our playful collection!!

Olympia Le-Tan‘s Spring 2015 RTW Collection is so playful, fun, and carnival-inspired…and we just love it!! From the candy stripes to the “grown-up” overall ensembles, this collection is so whimsical, upbeat, and happy, and brings us back to the ‘good ol’ days’ in the best way possible. We especially adore the number-printed outfit that reminds us of our Playground Collection! Be sure to check out the full collection here.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your favorite childhood game was :) Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the week. We woke up to flurries, and it is currently still coming down. Time to bring out the parkas and winter boots!! Also, have you entered our Fresh Solids FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter on our Facebook Page by letting us know what your favorite fresh solid is.

It’s time to start off the week with some inspiration, with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection. This whimsy collection is full of dainty floral prints, fluttery vines, and lovely sprigs in comforting chartreuse, grey, turquoise, and coral hues. So elegant and pretty, this collection would make for a sweet little girl’s dress or full circle skirt. As well, we love the idea of adding a Wildflowers quilt draped on a couch or bed to add a touch of femininity.

Vera Wang’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection was brooding and dark, but the prints and silhouettes were far from simple. Keeping the color palette relatively simple – blacks and neutral floral prints – Vera chose to focus on silhouettes and texture. Lots of ruffles, brocade, floral, and sparkle, as well as flowing draping textiles. Such a stunning collection! We especially loved this dress, which reminded us of our Wildflowers Collection, with its dainty coral florals. You can see the rest of the collection here!

We hope you have been inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! We would love to know what trends you are looking forward to for the Spring season (yup, we know we’re just at the cusp of winter…but hey, we can dream of warmer weather lol). Have a good one!

Happy Sewing!
