Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. The temperature has definitely been dipping close to 0℃ here…BRR!! Not quite ready for the winter storms yet, but we’re trying to keep warm with our wool coats, knitted scarves, and ear warmers.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection is just as the name suggests. This collection is all about pretty shades of blues in a multitude of wonderful geometric patterns. Blue is such a universally flattering color, and works well for all seasons (pacific blue for the warmer months, navy for the fall & winter!), and is always a classic. The simple, but eye-catching geometric prints in our Singin’ the Blues Collection are so stylish, and remind us of a wonderful Mediterranean vacation. Just add a touch of some blue into your house, and it will instantly lift everything up. You can see examples of projects here!

We are so inspired by Iro’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection! This collection perfectly encapsulates where we wish we were right now. Crisp white, blue, and black are the primary colors in this tropical-inspired collection, complete with dust jackets, wide-legged trousers, and unique cut-outs. We especially adored the featured dust jacket in a stunning blue print, reminiscent of our Singin’ the Blues Collection. You can see the rest of this collection here.

We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your ideal vacation would be. And with that…have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and an awesome Halloween! There’s still time to enter our Beyond the Backyard x Westcott Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. Winner will be announced on Wednesday!

It’s time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our newest collections from our Fall 2014 Launch, Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is just as the name suggests, full of pretty metallic prints and designs. Heavy Metal includes a beautiful mix of silver and gold geometrics including chevrons, hexagonal prints, stars, dots, and animal prints. This metallic-infused collection would bring some pizzazz to any outfit, whether as a shift dress or a foldover clutch. As well, how about a glam quilt? We love the idea of a metallic quilt, perfect for a posh bed quilt or as wall decor.

Samuji‘s Spring RTW 2015 Collection brought about lots of bold colors and prints in fun Spring and Summer-inspired cuts. Intense patterns were subdued with more feminine silhouettes, neutral colors, and an Asian influence. We especially adored the use of metallics in his collection, which were reminiscent of our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee collection. We love this simple, but classic shift dress done in a metallic chevron print. You can see the rest of Samuji’s collection here. Such a majestic, but feminine collection.

We hope you have been inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! Be sure to check out the rest of our Heavy Metal collection, and all the associated free projects, on our website. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Hi everyone.

Happy Monday! It’s the last day of Fall Quilt Market, but there are still so many things to do and see. If you are going to be at Quilt Market today, be sure to stop by our booth #1824; come see our newest collections and beautiful project displays! We’d love to see you!! :)

We’re inspiring you with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our out-of-this-world collections – Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is awesome for any little astronaut-in-training who wants to dream with the planets and stars. It’s the next best thing to the real universe! This collection features spaceships, astronauts, rocket ships, planets, stars, and more…and you want to know the best part? It’s glow-in-the dark!! This is an older collection of ours, but we do have our Ad-Fab™ in Outer Space Astronomy Lesson and our Outer Space Plush Fleece. These would make awesome projects for anyone who really loves all things outer space!

We absolutely loved See by Chloe’s Fall 2014 RTW collection of all things galactic! This collection featured bright, bold, and intricate details and patterns…including planet printed dresses and pants. Oh, how awesome!!

This whole collection stays true to the meaning of having fun with fashion. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear an awesome pair of trousers with planet prints on it? This cool print reminded us of our Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and we just had to share it with all our fellow space-enthusiasts.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday!! Have a fantastic rest of the day :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. We had a lovely weekend picking apples and pumpkins, which calls for lots more fall baking! Yum, yum! As well, we are still hosting our Imaginarium FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page. The giveaway runs until this Wednesday, so be sure to enter if you haven’t. Looking forward to reading all of your responses!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Folklore by Heather Rosas Collection. This absolutely gorgeous collection reminds us all the things we love about about the springtime – fluttery birds, fresh tulip and rose blooms, and crisp leaves. The cream, turquoise, and ruby colorway of Folklore makes this collection lively and feminine, with a whimsical and Scandinavian feel. These beautiful designs would add a pop of fresh color to any interior – from bedroom to kitchen – and would also make some adorable garments (think: little tunics and aprons).

We have been excitedly following all the new collections for Spring 2015. We love seeing the upcoming trends and ideas to inspire us. One collection we have especially adored was that of Paul & Joe’s Spring 2015 RTW collection – all the garments were bold, impact-ful, and  warm in tones & patterns. We loved the bohemian feel of the whole collection…something we adore for the Spring and Summer. This ensemble especially caught our eyes, a pattern resembling that of our Folklore Collection. LOVE! You can see the full collection for Paul & Joe’s 2015 RTW here.

We hope we have inspired you today with our Moody Monday! We’d love to know if there has been any Spring collections that have caught your eye. Have a great day, everyone!

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!
