Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Frolicking Forest Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet.

It’s time for our weekly How To’s Day!! Today we are sharing another one of our fantastic project collaborations with you. Jennifer Hagedorn from Tie Dye Diva Patterns created the most adorable Tunic Dress and Bloomers Play Set for us, for our Free Projects Program, and we are launching the pattern for you today on the blog. Our Tunic and Bloomers Play Set is perfect for your little girl to play around in and be comfortable, while being absolutely adorable and girly at the same time. We absolutely love the bow and ruffle details on the tunic…and pockets? Yes, please! The bloomers are just as sweet, with the added ruching and bows – oh so cute!! We chose our Petite Plume Collection because it reminds us of Spring and Summer – we can imagine a little girl playing at the park in this play set, but then also strutting her stuff at a garden party or BBQ.

Because this tutorial includes two pieces, we thought it would be easier to split it into two posts. We are going to share the Tunic Dress Tutorial in this post, and the Bloomers Tutorial should be following suite. We are so thankful that we got the chance to work with the incredibly talented Jen from Tie Dye Diva – thank you SO much for creating the sweetest of play sets for our projects. Be sure to check out all of Jen’s other patterns.

Camelot Fabrics has got felt!! We have been super excited to have expanded to the crafting world with our Ad-Fab™ and felt (hard, soft, & adhesive). We wanted to share with you some easy, fun, and kid-friendly “10 Steps or Less” projects that you can do at home. Be sure to check for your Camelot Fabrics felt in your local stores soon.

Today we are sharing our first felt tutorial with you all! When we think of Summer, we think of sunshine, BBQs, pool parties, and delicious drinks. What’s more summer-y than lemonade or a lime refresher? Yum! We love all things citrus – beautiful, bright, and happy colors that liven any space! We are sharing our Felt Sliced Citrus Party Tags Tutorial with you today, which will be perfect for your upcoming Summer party!

These tags are absolutely adorable, and while they help you tag items, they also add a wonderful splash of decor to your table. Use these to label your food, drinks, or for seating arrangements – keep your party organized and festive!! Our felt makes these tags stylish and modern, and the chalkboard fabric segment makes them reusable.

When life gives your lemons, make lemonade and have a party!! Click HERE for the full tutorial of our Sliced Citrus Party Tags!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is doing well! We are hosting a new Winsday this week; we are giving away our Frolicking Forest FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. We’re asking you to let us know what your favorite Summer dessert is, and the answers thus far have been making us oh-so hungry. Yum yum! :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible project designers, Jessica George of Sweetbriar Sisters. Sweetbriar Sisters is a wonderful pattern shop dedicated to adorable little stuffies, applique designs, and other little fun sewing projects. The Sweetbriar Sisters‘ esthetic is super sweet and cuddly, and we love how darling all of the stuffies are designed to look. All of their patterns are super easy to follow and fun to make, and they also include material descriptions and tutorials on their website. Some of our favorite little stuffies are Beta the Bunny and Dalton the Dragon (all equally adorable, so difficult to choose!), but our hearts are fond for one particular duo…

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jessica of Sweetbriar Sisters for our Free Projects Program. Jessica created an uber-sweet mother & baby elephant duo pattern for us, and we just could not contain our squeals the first time we saw them in person. SO CUTE!! We chose our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Collection for these little guys, and it could not have been a more perfect choice! The colors are so fun and bright, and make these elephants perfect for a modern nursery or playroom. We have seen so many toy plushies in high-end retail stores, so these are a great way to follow the trends…and have fun while making them too! You can get the full, free pattern for these Endearing Elephants on our website HERE.

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Jessica for creating the most adorable elephant pattern for us!! We have gotten so many positive responses on this little duo already, and cannot wait to see the elephants that are created by you. If you do create your very own, we would love to see. You can send your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com. Be sure to check out Sweetbriar Sisters for all of their amazing patterns, as well as their Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a great day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We cannot believe that we are already into August – we are still hanging onto Summer, and excited to soak up the last bits of sunshine before fall rolls around.

Time for our weekly How To’s Day!! Today we are going to share with you a simple, but very pretty, Double-Sided Headband Tutorial – perfect for adding that extra oomph to any outfit! Our Double-Sided Headband will be your go-to accessory because, with different patterns on either side, you can easily switch up your look from day to night! We love trying out new styles, so this headband is a great way to play around with new colors and patterns. As well, there are so many ways to style a headband – hair down in loose waves or straight, in a topknot, high pony, or side braid…the possibilities are endless!

We also love the idea of creating a bow with the ends for a fun & flirty look, or you can leave the ends in a simple knot. We’d love to know what your favorite way to wear a headband is! We used some of our favorite cotton collections for our Double-Sided Headband, which we found helped the headband stay in place, as opposed to anything too silky. As well, the contoured shape of the headband allows for it to easily shape around your head, and can be tied with ease.

We used our Nightfall and Mint Condition collections for two playful looks. Our Double-Sided Headband is such a fun and straightforward tutorial that we’re sure you’ll be wanting to make one in every color and design combination possible. But no worries, your hair will just always be pretty, put together, and stylish! Click HERE to see the full tutorial!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! This week is our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week, and we hope you have been enjoying our launched collections thus far. We have been posting a new collection everyday: Monday was our Paddington Bear Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, and today we launched It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas. Be sure to check out our previous blog posts on them, as well as the full collections and coordinating free projects on our website.

We have been branching into the crafting world, and now have a wonderful collection of felt! We have soft felt (printed and solid designs), hard felt (printed and solid), and adhesive felt (printed and solid) in 12×12″ pre-cuts – perfect for all your crafting and decorative needs. Our soft felt is also available by the yard, both in our printed and solid designs. Be sure to check all of our pretty felt designs and colors on our website!

In honor of our felt, we have got a very adorable and fun tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day. Today we are sharing with you our super sweet Basket of Fruits Tutorial. With all the delicious colors found in our felt collection, we were inspired to make something yummy (with names such as Melon, Raspberry, Bubblegum, and Chocolate…how couldn’t we be?). Our little fruit basket includes all of your favorites – a slice of watermelon, a banana, a pear, an apple, and a lemon – so sweet that they look almost good enough to eat.

This  felt and ad-fab™  project is perfect for playing with your little ones or for decorating a kitschy room. This would also be a great project to make with little kids; let them choose their favorite fruits and they can help cut out the shapes and glue on the pieces! It would be a fun way to spend an afternoon together. The fruit possibilities are endless, so have fun with this tutorial, and make your very own basket of yummy fruits!
