Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had an awesome weekend!! It was such a gorgeous weekend here, and was happily spent by the pool and at the farmer’s market (fresh veggies for a BBQ = yum!!) :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Spring 2015 collections, Little Bird by the Camelot Design Studio. Little Bird is a girly and dainty collection of pretty birdies, mushrooms, and confetti dots in mint, pink, gray, and taupe hues. This gentle, whimsical collection would make for an adorable little girl’s room, complete with soft pink and mint pillows, tabbed curtains, and a cozy quilt spread. As well, we can imagine a little girl twirling in her own Little Bird dress – fit for a birthday or garden affair! Andddd…the lightness of this collection makes it perfect for our double gauze. Hello shirts, skirts, scarves, swaddling blankets…and more!

Jill Stuart is one of our absolute favorite designers, and her Spring 2012 RTW collection was definitely one to remember! The colors were so feminine – coral, pinks, yellows, and mints – and together worked flawlessly as an overall palette. Next, the mixture of different textures were playful – tweed and chiffon works so well together! There was an overall 60’s style feel to the collection, with the hourglass shapes, billowy shift dresses, and side swept bangs. One of our favorites was this dress, that was reminiscent of the bird prints in Little Bird.

We hope we’ve inspired you with today’s post! Summer is officially this Sunday, so we’d love to know what trends you’ve been loving for the warmer months. Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Woke up to quite the dreary and wet morning, but it’s National Best Friends Day! So call all of your best girlies to let them know just how much they mean to you. Cause let’s face it, our lives would definitely not be as much fun without them!

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Spring 2015 collections, Make a Wish by Alisse Courter. Make a Wish is a very pretty and ethereal collection of fluttery feathers and blossoms in lavender, mint, gray, and grapefruit hues. It reminds us of running through a field of beautiful blooms, barefoot and wearing a lightweight frock, cascaded by the warm sunrise. This dreamy collection is also available in our double gauze, a lightweight fabric perfect for swaddle blankets and summery scarves.

Let’s get inspired by the runway! Valentino’s Spring Couture Collection was dreamy and soft, with lots of billowy fabrics and flowing dresses. Feminine florals and jewels adorn each dress, complete with ethereal capes and princess sleeves. We can imagine all of these dresses in a princesses wardrobe, all ready to picked for the next affair. One dress that especially caught our eyes was this dress, that was reminiscent of our Make a Wish Collection. Such a stunning collection!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you have been loving for the season. Have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. And to our fellow American friends, wishing you all a lovely Memorial Day!

It’s time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring another of our new Spring 2015 collections, Eye Candy by Jackie McFee. Eye Candy is bright, exuberant, and fun! It is our spunky neon collection of coral, yellow, and blue in bold geo prints, such as dots, ogees, and florals. To make the neon colors pop even more, Eye Candy is printed on our unbleached, 100% natural cotton. How’s that for a showstopping collection? We love our neons, especially for the summertime, so we can imagine a fun clutch or headband. – or really summer-ify (yup, we’re making that a word! lol) your house with some cool neon pillows.

We love everything that J.Crew puts out for their latest collections, but we had to bring back and feature these incredible pants from their Spring 2013 collection. We would definitely still rock them this year! They are reminiscent of the coral floral in our Eye Candy collection – so in love! The coral pants make such a statement, that can be worn for work (pair with a neutral top!), and then taken into the night (imagine being in a dance club in these?? who needs a disco ball? haha). Fashion should be fun and free, so rock your neon pieces all year round, we say! ;)

I hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We definitely love a little neon in our wardrobe for the Spring and Summer. Have an awesome day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It was Quilt Market weekend for us, and boy, was it an incredible one!! We have SO much to share with you..so stay tuned for a QM recap post on the blog.

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Not sure if you noticed some new pretties on our website, but we’ve launched our Spring 2015 Collections last week. We’ll be posting about each collection on the blog soon, but if you’d like to check them all out, be sure to have a look at our New Arrivals. Magnolia is one of our newest collections, by Alisse Courter for Camelot Fabrics. Magnolia is a gorgeous mustard, grey, and pink collection of pretty florals and leaf prints. The soft and feminine patterns make this collection perfect for an equally feminine project – a brunch dress or baking apron would look wonderful in these prints.

Giamba’s Spring 2015 Collection was ethereal and feminine, just like Magnolia. Lots of beautiful floral prints and soft pastels dressed each model, each with a 70s twist – complete with platforms and dotted tights. We were especially intrigued by this dress, which was reminiscent of our Magnolia Collection with the soft pink floral pattern. Love!  

We hope you’ve found some inspiration in today’s post! We’d love to know what you think about our Magnolia Collection. Stay tuned for more on our latest collections… Have a good one!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s Mother’s Day weekend? A little cooler and dreary here, but we still had a lovely weekend celebrating the rock star women in our lives!

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our DC Comics: Immortal Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. DC Comics: Immortal brings back all of our bestselling DC Comics designs, from your favorite Girl Power prints (Wonder W0man, Supergirl, and Batgirl) to the strong heros (Batman, Superman, Aquaman). Back at it again, not only to help save the world, but to help make your projects superhero-worthy. Packed with bright blues, reds, greens, and yellows – our DC: Immortals Collection is sure to bring out the superhero in all of us!

We loved Arthur Arbesser’s Spring 2015 Collection! Simple in color palette – soft blue, coral, black, and white – but very spring-inspired and pretty. His collection had some great trends going on, including a peplum-hemmed dress, chiffon overlays, and adorable cropped outfits. It’s the perfect spring wardrobe for a week in the Hamptons! We especially loved this outfit, which was reminiscent of our DC Comics: Immortals Collection, like a modern-day Supergirl. Love!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to wearing for Spring. Have a great day!!

Happy Sewing!
