Welcome!

Time for this week’s What We Love ♥ With Spring in our pocket, we’re feeling refreshed and excited for the new season. We’re bringing Spring inspiration with us, everywhere. Fresh blooms in the office, livening up our wardrobe’s color palette, and eating lighter & healthier (or at least trying to lol). We’ve been seeing such great Spring inspiration for the home and for wear on Pinterest, we’ve been pinning away! From pastels to bear toast, here’s what we’ve been loving most this week… ♥

Shannen: Lavender Hair
Vanessa: Flower Wall
Valeria: Bear Toast
Juan: Brioni Fall 2015 Menswear
Ciana: The Red Balloon, Albert Lamorisse; 1959

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s What We Love! We’d love to know what has been inspiring you most. Spring is in the air, and we are excited!! ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week on our Facebook Page. This week, we are giving away our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection and want to know what makes you shine. Head on over there to enter!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing some pillows that amazing pattern designer, Kristy Daum, sewed up for us! Kristy is the voice and creator behind the blog St. Louis Folk Victorian, where she shares her latest quilting creations and fabric finds. We found her blog, fell in love with her projects and style (a coworker had sent me a link to her Sherlock Quilt), and knew we had to chat! Her Elevation Pillow is available as a free pattern on our website, and is one of our absolute faves because of how much fun you can having, mixing & matching different patterns. The design creates a cool, “graph-like” design, and we like that the background is a solid, so that the middle stands out.

Kristy sewed two versions of her Elevation Pillow for us, one in our London Fog Collection and one in Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Look at how gorgeous they are? Kristy did an incredible job with the quilting too. These pillows would look fantastic tossed together on a day bed or as a big ol’ pile on the floor – comfy and pretty to look at!  You can find the free pattern for Elevation here.

Thank you, Kristy, SO much for everything! You truly are a superstar haha. You’ll definitely be seeing lots more from Kristy coming up soon, so stay tuned!! You can check out more from Kristy on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day. Feeling a bit of a sugar rush this afternoon, but hey – it was Easter! Where else is all this chocolate going to go? Seems like a legit enough reason to us, haha.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a Bar Blocked Floor Mat Tutorial by Made by Marion. Simple, modern, and clean in this design, this bar blocked floor mat features our wonderful osnaburg, a textile that is like canvas but with a lighter weight (can be seen in our Basics Catalog). It is unbleached, like our Heirloom Collection, which is also featured in our project. With our Heirloom Collection, this bar blocked floor mat looks luxurious and regal.

The simple striped design makes it the perfect mat for any interior space – it would look lovely under a glass coffee table or by your bedroom door. Its smaller size makes it a great piece for adding a bit of pizzazz to a floor space, without the commitment of a large rug or carpet.

Hi everyone!

Happy Easter Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend, and that the Easter bunny was good to you. We definitely got our fill of chocolate, donuts, and macaroons today with our office Easter hunt! Yup, always will be kids at heart ;)

Today is our Moody Monday! We are featuring another design from our Mixology Collection, a group of designs that can be “mixed” with other collections for your projects. All of the designs in our Mixology Collection match perfectly with our Fresh Solids, and colors from our latest collections, so you’ll be able to find perfect blending patterns. There are four different designs, including our adorable honeycomb prints. In a range from cool blues to luscious sorbets, our honeycomb prints would work well on their own, or mixed with one of our collections.

Kiernan Shipka dazzled at People’s “One to Watch” Party last year, in a dark blue, honeycomb-printed ruffled-hem shift dress. We fell in love with this classic silhouette on the young Hollywood star, making her look sophisticated. Her dress was the “standout”, keeping her hair in a loose up-do and minimal jewelry. The honeycomb print was reminiscent of the navy colorway of our honeycomb collection. We loved how classy she looked in navy. Such a great alternative to the LBD!

We hope we’ve inspired you today! We are so excited for all the new Spring trends, coming soon! We’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to most. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
