Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. Have you been following our Summer 2014 Launch Week? There are 5 new collections for Summer 2014, and we have been launching a new one everyday this week. Be sure to see our latest collection launches on our Facebook, blog, and website. Let us know which is your favorite thus far! And while you’re on our Facebook, be sure to enter our Licensed Fabrics Giveaway – you could win 5 yards of some favorite licenses.

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are taking the time to thank our wonderful friends at Westcott. Westcott has been one of the world’s leading scissors brands for over 140 years. Founded in 1872 by Henry Westcott in Seneca, New York, the Westcott Brand has gone through two World Wars and the Great Depression. Over the years, Westcott has expanded its product range to other cutting tools, office and school supplies, and craft supplies (such as lettering and trimming tools). Their wide range in products has allowed them to enter new markets, however what has stayed the same is their high-quality and well-made products. Westcott is a worldwide, trusted brand for all your cutting tool needs!

Westcott has been super generous and wonderful, as they had provided us with lots of goodies to try out with our fabric and crafting products (felt and ad-fab™). Some of the products that they let us test out were the Trimair Paper Trimmer, Multi-Purpose Trimmer, Titanium Precision Scissors, and extra blades. We have had the best of time getting to test out all the cutting tools, and we can definitely uphold to them being one of the best in the world! The paper trimmers cut through paper seamlessly, and we have been using their scissors for our fabric, ad-fab™, and felt.

Thank you SO much, Westcott, for being so sweet! We have also collaborated with them on a couple of past festivals, such as CreativFest and ScrapFest – we sent them our felt and ad-fab™ for their workshops. As well, look for more collaborations with Westcott and Camelot Fabrics in the near future – we cannot wait!! Have a wonderful day, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a positive and great day. Today is National Strawberry Day!! Enjoy some delicious strawberries today and get inspired by our sweet strawberry-printed fabrics here and here :)

It’s also this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are taking the time to thank a wonderful company that we had the privilege to meet at this year’s CHA. Today we are going to bring you into the world of Fiskars!

Fiskars is the leading brand when it comes to tools and cutting products. Fiskars launched their first pair of plastic-handled scissors in 1967, and ever since have been one of the world’s best scissor brand! Fiskars is known for their innovative and high-quality, crafted products but also for their iconic orange handles. Though orange now plays an important role in their identity, it was actually by chance – using leftover resin from a juicer for the scissor’s handles! Great choice, Fiskar!! :)

We got the chance to learn more about and chat with some wonderful people at Fiskars, at this year’s CHA Show. Being a fabrics company, we can often be found in the sewing or cutting room working on new projects or cutting up fabric. Finding the best tools always makes a task that much easier, and overall better, and we were absolutely amazed by how wonderful our Fiskar scissors glided seamlessly to cut fabric pieces! There’s nothing more frustrating than working on a sewing project, and having dull scissors – not fun at all! We found that these scissors not only worked wonders with our fabric, but also with our Ad-Fab™ and felt (hard and soft, adhesive and regular), and perfectly with sticky surfaces.

The incredible people at Fiskars provided us with lots of amazing goodies for crafting! Fiskars provided us with a Rotary Cutter & Ruler Combo (perfect for measuring and cutting perfect edges, ie. a crafter’s dream tool!), an Ergo Control rotary cutter, a Two-Sided Rotary Mat, and two sizes of fabric scissors. It was exceptionally generous and sweet of them to do so, and we want to thank them for being so amazing…and for making our fabric cutting lives so much easier! :) Thank you so much to everyone at Fiskars for providing us incredible goodies. It was wonderful getting to chat with you at the CHA!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday. Be sure to check out Fiskars for all their amazing products. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Happy Sewing!
