Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! Cheers to it almost being the weekend!! It may be one of the last weekends until the snow officially arrives here (YAY for Canadian winters…), so we are going to make the most of the pretty fall leaves and greenery. Here’s to a weekend filled with laughs, love, and autumnal happiness!

It’s time to end with our weekly Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a new, up-and-coming shop called DEEKSandME. DEEKSandME launched into the Etsy world just a couple of days ago and has already released some adorable products. Even with their recent launch, their branding is absolutely stunning…complete with a beautiful logo and packaging. DEEKSandME is all about creating quality and stylish, handmade baby items that would be wonderful gifts or for you and baby! They choose fabrics that are colorful and eclectic, with a good mix of both “girl” and “boy” modern designs. So far, they have launched their baby bandanna bibs, burp cloths, and baby infinity scarves…and every single one of them is precious!

DEEKSandME loves our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection, and we just had to share the baby products made with our fun collection. They used What a Gem for their adorable bandanna bibs, which are made with soft coral flannel on the other side for maximum softness and absorbancy. As well, their wonderful burp cloths come in a set of three, which make for the perfect baby shower gift. And, they look very sweet with our What a Gem!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, DEEKSandME! You can check out more from this stylish baby shop at their Etsy Shop. And with that, it’s time for the weekend!! Have a fantastic one, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful end to the work week. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so we are so excited to spend time with our loved ones, have some great laughs, and of course, eat lots and lots of delicious food. We are thankful for so many things in our lives, it would be an endless post, so we keep it short and sweet. We want to take the time to thank our wonderful family, friends, and supporters…and of course all of you; we appreciate all of our fellow fabric enthusiasts so much. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by the Camelot Fabrics blog to say hello; it really means so much to us! :)

And speaking of fabric enthusiasts, it’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring Rocking Horse Design, an online shop dedicated to making handmade Lolita-style dresses and skirts in bright and fun comic & cartoon fabric designs. As well, they create customized cosplay garments which can be tailored and suited for different needs. With a love affair for cartoons and comics, it is no doubt that they would also translate that love in their fabric choices. They love Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Adventure Time, and other popular comics…and choose fabric collections that represent who they are, with a modern twist.

Rocking Horse Design loves the Lolita-style of clothing, which is translated in all their designs, with a vintage flair. Their dresses have sweetheart necklines and their skirts are full, girly, and flirty. Using cartoon and comic prints, the dresses look absolutely adorable and so much fun to wear! Who wouldn’t want to look fabulous, rocking their favorite comic book or cartoon? They love our Marvel, Star Trek, and Star Wars fabric collections and chose some of our prints for their dresses. We absolutely LOVE how they turned out!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday! Thank you to Rocking Horse Design for the wonderful fabric love, and for sharing your stunning dresses with us. You can check out more from Rocking Horse Design at their Etsy Shop and Facebook Page. As well, you can see the Star Wars collections they selected on our website. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! We hope everyone had a wonderful first week of October. If you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page, be sure to head on over now. We are giving away 11 assorted sheets of our hard felt, and we are so excited for whoever wins this one. You can find lots of felt projects inspiration on our Pinterest.

It’s time to end another great with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some wonderful projects featuring our What a Gem Collection, from Julie of Mackenzie Monroe. Mackenzie Monroe started from the need for a creative outlet. Interior designer by day, sewing enthusiast by night, Julie decided to channel her love for sewing in a fun way. She found a passion for sewing and fabrics in her seventh grade home economics class, a love that only sparked further in college and adulthood. Julie started Mackenzie Monroe in 2011, where she sells her beautiful creations – bags, totes, doggie accessories, and much more can be found at her shop. Julie also attends local craft markets where she also sells her lovely creations.

Julie loves fun and whimsical fabrics, and has chosen our What a Gem for some of her tote bags. They look so lovely, we just had to share them with you all!! She used our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection for the main print, choosing to highlight the prettiness of the designs against a canvas accent fabric. We think they look oh-so pretty, and would be beautiful everyday bags to carry your essentials…

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Julie!! We absolutely adore the bags and are so happy that you love our What a Gem collection. You can check out all of Julie’s creations at her Etsy Shop and Facebook Page. Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!! We wish you a fantastic and safe celebratory weekend!! If you haven’t seen it yet, we posted some awesome DIY Fourth of July gift and party ideas on our blog last week…here’s the link to check it out!

It’s also time to end another super week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop and blog: Charley, Dee, & Me! Charley, Dee, & Me is a blog run by Rebecca, and dedicated to all things fabric-related. Rebecca loves to sew and quilt, especially with the women in her family, and enjoys blogging about all of her project-making adventures. As well, Rebecca shares tutorials with her readers – table runners, a fun toaster cover, and more! :)

In correlation with her blog, Rebecca also has an Etsy Shop where she sells her beautifully handmade burp cloths, blankets, and quilts for little ones. A lot of the chain store products for babies are generic and, for lack of a better word, boring…but Rebecca brings a contemporary flair to baby stuff! Rebecca has impeccable taste in fabric designs, so all of her products are eye-catching and modern, perfect for all the little ones who want to be comforted but also stay in style! We absolutely adore these burp cloths that Rebecca made with our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection. This set is absolutely adorable, and the packaging is perfection as well. It would make for such a lovely baby shower gift!

We are so happy that you love our Frolicking Forest fabric, Rebecca! We really love the esthetic of your blog and shop, and are honored to be a part of it. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

It’s also time for our Fan Friday! What a great way to end another fantastic week, the first official week of Summer! And just in time for summertime, we are featuring an awesome Etsy Shop today….Vintage Divinities! Vintage Divinities, a really fun clothing Etsy Shop by Martha Godinez, is dedicated to vintage-inspired pieces such as crop tops, printed shirts, skater skirts, floral crowns, and tulle skirts! All of the items are handmade with love, and all done in really bright and festival-inspired prints and colors.

When we saw this crop top with our Star Wars fabric, we had a moment!! We absolutely adore how fun and modern this top is, with a Star Wars twist. And because it is Summer, we are all about comfort and casualwear…while still being put together and on-trend, and this is the perfect top for that. It would be great with a high-waisted pair of shorts or tulle skirt – so cute!

We are so happy that you love our Star Wars fabric!! Thank you so much for the support, Martha! Be sure to check out Vintage Divinities for more on Etsy, as well as on Facebook. Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the weather!! :)
