Welcome!

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!

Hi everyone!

It’s Monday!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. We are currently having a wonderful time at Quilt Market, day three!!

Let’s make this a great start to the week! With another Monday comes another Moody Monday. Today is the wonderful mix of chilly but sunny outside…such pretty autumn weather. Today’s weather has reminded us of one of our collections that is the perfect combination of yellow and gray color hues, the right juxtaposition of cool and bright. That’s right! Today’s Moody Monday is inspired by Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee.

Grazing the runways once again, we have found a noteworthy fashion collection that is very much in tune with Gray Matters. Calla’s RTW Fall 2013 Collection is an eccentric blend of bright pops of colors and neutrals, but it is the use of grays and yellows that really catches our eyes. The Fall 2013 Collection includes dresses, skirts, jackets, and more all infused with splashes of grays and yellows – we definitely approve! You can see the full collection by clicking here. This is one collection where gray really does matter…and so does yellow!

With the amass of positive feedback from Gray Matters, we had launched Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee in our new Fall 2013 collections. We are sure that all the Gray Matters fans will love this collection just as much. You can see the designs by clicking here. You can also follow Jackie on her blog, twitter, and Facebook!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Today is the start to another wonderful week (single digit countdown to Quilt Market!!) …and with that, we bring to you another Moody Monday! This autumn season, adorable creatures have been seen everywhere – owls, foxes, raccoons – and with their rich, warm colors to match…we have been inspired! Thus, we have decided to share our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Moodboard with you all today.

With the autumn season officially upon us, it’s that time of year to don all your favorite oversized scarves and chunky knit sweaters with the intentions of keeping warm. But, bundling up doesn’t mean we can’t still look cute and stylish. This season we’ve been seeing lots of fun, graphic sweaters faced with our sweet, furry friends, both on the runway and in high-street stores. We adore the mix of feminine and playful a beautiful sweater with a fox print gives, and it can be dressed up or down accordingly with a pair of boyfriend jeans, over a tulle dress, or with a collared button up for the workplace. Some of our favorites are from J.Crew, Maison Kitsune, Old Navy, Lacoste, Balenciaga, and Markus Lupfer.

Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas is a rich color-infused collection of deep, fall hues of oranges, greens, blues, and browns adorned with hedgehog, fox, raccoon, and owl prints. Our moodboard showcases this collection wonderfully, with its woodsy and cozy feel. The collection is cheerful and bright, just as you will be this autumn with your animal-printed sweater, phone case, and DIY pillows to match. Here’s to all the darling forest creatures that make us smile and go “awww”!

Be sure to check out the Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas collection and her blog for more! Let us know what you think about this endearing collection. Any projects that come to mind?

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! And to our fellow Canadians, we hope you are having a loving and restful long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving! “Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” – W. T. Purkiser

It’s also Moody Monday! Today we bring to you our moodboard inspired by Jackie McFee’s Kabloom! from our Summer 2013 collection.

Kabloom! is a fantastic rupture of florals and mod patterns in bold hues of fuchsias, blues, and greens. When we see this wonderfully color-infused collection, we think eccentric, confidence, and fashion-forward.

One collection that particularly inspires us, from the recent Spring 2014 RTW fashion shows, is that of Emilio Pucci. Pucci, always meticulously successful with his bright color and print choices, displayed a wide array of fun hues for Spring 2014. All of his flawlessly mixed and complimentary outfits are definitely “Kabloom!” worthy. Be sure to check out the collection here!

Happy Sewing!
