Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you all had a restful weekend. We are sure many of you already have a jump-start on costume-making, but there are officially 53 days until Halloween!! We love Halloween in the Camelot Design Studio, but we need to start brainstorming on what we are going to be this year… Oh, psst: we are also giving away an FQ bundle of our Neon & On by Jackie McFee Collection on our Facebook this week.

More inspiration for you with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our wonderful Paddington Bear by the Camelot Design Studio Collection, from Summer 2014. Our Paddington Bear brings us so much nostalgia, to snuggling up with our mums for bedtime reading a Paddington Bear story. The colors were always so beautiful, the pages filled with so many wonders, and the stories were always magical. It was such a fantastical experience getting to flip through the pages of a Paddingbear Bear book with mum, followed by our sweet, adventure-filled dreams…

And even now, as we are older, the magic of Paddington Bear still carries with us in our adulthood…so hearing that there is a Paddington Bear Movie coming out on Christmas Day this year brought us back to the good ol’ days. Our Paddington Bear collection brings us that same nostalgia with the pastel color palette, watercolor-esque designs, and of course, the loveable Paddington. You can check out the full collection here.

NYFW is in full swing this week, and we have excitedly been watching all the wonderful shows (from the comfort of our own homes haha). It’s always so much fun seeing what new trends and color palettes will ensue from the shows, for the next seasons. One inspiring color palette is that of Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection – the muted blue, yellow, and rose colors definitely reminded us of our Paddington Bear collection. We absolutely adore the softness of colors in this collection, mixed with stronger fabrications – twill, herringbone, and velvet – with a sports-inspired twist. You can check out the full collection HERE.

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday, and have inspired you! If you have been keeping up with NYFW, we’d love to know which are your current favorite shows. Have a great day! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s a SUPER exciting week because it is our Summer 2014 Launch Week!! We have FIVE new collections to share with you, and we will be launching one everyday this week. So be sure to stick around and see all the new & pretty fabrics we’ve got for you. It’s time for DAY ONE of our Summer 2014 Launch Week…

The first fabric collection we are launching is our very adorable and newest license…Paddington Bear by the Camelot Design Studio! The lovable Paddington Bear seriously brings us so much nostalgia, back to our childhood, and we are absolutely in adoration for this little guy. Our Paddington Bear collection encapsulates that sense of joy and happiness of childhood, and its muted, pastel hues makes this collection very soft and comforting. The collection includes beautiful illustrations of Paddington Bear, in his classic rain hat & wellies, and his adventures, making this collection the perfect choice for a nursery – themed curtains, crib bumper, rocking chair pillow, and baby quilt and your little one will have the absolute cutest of rooms!

Being the worldly traveler, all the way from Peru to London, Paddington Bear embarks on many adventures and, at times, mishaps. We think a Paddington Bear passport cover would the perfect fit, and would make finding your passport when traveling much easier. As well, a Paddington Bear quilt would be the perfect gift for a new mother or for a little on in your life; the narrative designs make this collection easy to incorporate into a quilt design, such as this one, this one, or this one.

 
And just in time, the Paddington Bear Movie will be released in the Fall of this year, and we are so thrilled! We cannot wait to see it in theaters. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out the trailer for the movie – it’s going to be a fantastic one! We really hope you enjoy our Paddington Bear Collection, and that it brings much happiness and nostalgia for you. We would love to know your favorite Paddington Bear story, and which SKU you like best from our collection. Be sure to check out all the Free Projects on our website with Paddington Bear. This is just the beginning of our Summer 2014 Launch Week, so stay tuned for another collection launch tomorrow! :)
