Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend, sharing the day with your loved ones…and eating lots of yummy chocolates. We are also hosting our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter!

Kicking off another week with our Moody Monday! We launched our Winter 2015 Collections last week, and have been so inspired by all the beautiful prints and colors. We’re sharing with you our Darling Collection by the Camelot Design Studio today. Darling is girly and sweet with feminine hues of rose, navy, and grey. Complete in pretty florals and soft geometrics, Darling is the epitome of dainty and grace. Our “Darling” girl would be enjoying a lovely afternoon at high tea with her girlfriends, complete in a floral skirt, bow kitten heels, and cat eye sunnies. So chic and so feminine!

Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection is absolutely breathtaking! We would describe it as “feminine and boho-inspired” with its floral prints, fringe details, and flow-y textures. The looks were completed with loose, beachy waves and dewy skin/pink lips. We especially adored the floral cutout designs – the tone and tone floral prints were incredibly beautiful, and reminded us of our Darling Collection. Such an exquisite collection, we would definitely happily wear any of Ferretti’s pieces (one can dream!).

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! Be sure to check out our Darling Collection for more prettiness. Have a lovely day, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! We had quite the blizzard over the weekend, so our days were spent cozied up indoors with apple crumble and movie classics. No complaints though! :) Also – we are launching our Winter 2015 Collections this week! If you haven’t seen Zoey (our first collection!) yet, click HERE.

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our newest additions to our collections, our Mixology Collections – the perfect, blending fabrics to use with our other collections. Mixology features four different prints – our Herringbone Collection, our Tonic Collection, our Woven Collection, and our Honeycomb Collection. The collections are also featured in our Fresh Solids colors, so they are great for mixing with our other collections for projects, such as quilts and apparel, but they also look beautiful on their own.

Hugo Boss’ Spring 2015 Collection was sleek and classic; the epitome of the working woman’s closet essentials. From fitted pencil skirts to classic trench coats to proper button downs to elegant dresses, the color palette of Boss’ collection was neutral – soft blues, grey, and black were prominent. We absolutely adored Boss’ mix of patterns, while still keeping a similar color palette throughout. One outfit that especially sparked some interest was this one – we absolutely loved the herringbone pencil skirt, reminiscent of this print from our Mixology – Herringbone Collection.

We hope we have inspired you with our Moody Monday!! We’d love to know what you think. Have a marvelous rest of the day, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Today is Groundhog Day and from the looks of it, according to Phil the Groundhog, we’ve still got another 6 weeks of winter ahead of us. Seems about right, as we woke up to a cozy -32 °C with windchill this morning. Brrr…

Time for some weekly inspiration with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Scented Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Our Scented collection features delicious and bright fruit prints; watermelon, lemons, apples, peaches, strawberries – as well as other yummy things, such as honey, coconut, lavender, vanilla, and crisp linen. You’re probably thinking of how delectable all of these things sound…now imagine a strawberry fabric design, that smelled like sweet strawberries! Our Scented collection is bursting with wonderful scents; you’ll not only fall in love with the pretty designs, but the scents too.

Our Scented Collection would make for some awesome projects. Who wouldn’t want to twirl around in a yummy, apple printed skirt? You can also make a lovely quilt or pillow with our Scented Collection, which would also leave a very light and fresh scent in the room.

FFWD, a fashion week-style event in Dubai, has featured so many incredibly talented designers and their designs. In their third season last Spring, one designer we were particularly fond of was Jo Baaklini. His fresh and vibrant style translated into his summer-inspired collection. His ensembles were bursting with color and liveliness, from bright turquoise pants to fruity prints. Every outfit was so fun. We especially adored his watermelon and lemon prints, which were reminiscent of our Scented Collection. This collection is definitely get us ready for Summer!!

We hope we’ve livened up your day with our Moody Monday! We’re definitely thinking about warmer days, despite our “six more weeks of winter”. We can still daydream. Have an awesome day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Did anyone work on some fun sewing projects? We would love to know!!

It’s time for some daily inspiration with this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio collection. Rise & Shine is a gorgeous collection of lattice, diamond, and trellis, and tweed geometrics. This collection is just bursting with wonderful turquoise, grey, and yellow hues that make you feel calm and happy. Our Rise & Shine designs would make for a beautiful mod-styled dress or circle skirt. As well, we adore the idea of fresh pops of turquoise and yellow in a neutral room, such as a Rise & Shine quilt or pillow.

Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection is getting us super excited for fall fashion! The warm navy, burgundy, and grey hues are stunning together and make for a very polished look. This collection consisted of lots of lovely floral prints, preppy stripes, and 50s silhouettes. We are in love with this cute dress, that reminds us of the diamonds print from our Rise & Shine Collection. You can find the full collection here.

We hope you have been inspired this week. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, working on some sewing projects or just taking it easy. We are hosting our Paddington Bear Fabric Giveaway this week on our Facebook Page. Because Paddington is such an adventurous little bear, we want to know what your greatest adventure has been.

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection – a sea-inspired collection of fish, starfish, and seaweed in pretty blues and greens. This collection gives us that nostalgic feeling of being at the sunny and warm beach, a place we would love to be right now (instead of the frigid cold). Sea Life is happy and vibrant, a perfect collection for a beach house, sea-inspired room, or for kids’ clothing! We also love the idea of a simple, modern pillow for a beach-y vibe. Oh, our Wallace the Whale would love to dazzle in some Sea Life!

Valentino’s Spring 2015 Collection is the epitome of femininity and pure luxe. There are two distinct styles in this collection; one ethereal and the other boho-inspired with its geometric and block patterns. The dresses are flowy and loose, the perfect outfits for a vacation in the Mediterranean, to throw on after a day in the sun. We especially adore the sea-inspired prints – seafish against chiffon = the prettiest thing ever. We especially adore this dress, reminding us of our Sea Life Collection. You can check out the full collection from Valentino here.

We hope we have inspired you with our weekly Moody Monday!! Here’s to dreaming of a vacation by the sea. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
