Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! It’s been rainy and gloomy today, so we are playing some rain-inspired (but empowering!) songs in the office to lift our spirits. We are also excited about this week’s Winsday because we are giving away an Imaginarium FQ bundle on our Facebook Page. Be sure to head on over there to enter if you haven’t yet! :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, featuring an amazing, geek chic fashion and style blog… Set to Stunning!! Set to Stunning is run by cosplay friends Lindz and Scruffy who decided to create a blog in 2012 devoted to geek girl fashion, geek chic products and accessories, DIY projects (DIY Fridays), event interviews, and so much more! They both have a passion for all things Star Wars, Batman, cosplay, and cats that they now share on their ever-growing blog! Both girls were not fashionable types growing up, but found a love for it with being able to express their fandoms in geek chic style. As well, you’ll find them at all the major “con” events, such as San Diego Comic Con, WonderCon, and Comikaze. Their motto is “geek chic style for your alter ego” which definitely sums up the awesomeness that is their blog!

Up with all the latest trends in geek chic style, they’re always sharing new products and cool finds on their blog. In one of their latest “Picks of the Week“, they featured some of our licensed fabrics as a round-up to fabrics that would be perfect for DIY creations. So cool! They especially love our DC Comics Collection, Superman Collection, Star Wars Collection, and our latest Girl Power II Collection. As well, they’ve used our collections in their past DIYs!

We want to thank the girls from Set to Stunning for the wonderful fabric feature; we really appreciate it and are so happy you love our collections! You can also find more from Set to Stunning on their Facebook Page, Instagram, and of course, their blog. As well, you can find the fabric collections they mentioned on our website. Have a great day!

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!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a great weekend, soaking up the last little bits of Summer. Although, it has been pretty chilly as of late…apparently, we should be hitting the mid-20s this week so that should be a wonderful way to kickstart Fall! We’ve also got our Paisley Please & Aurifil Threads Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to enter here!

It’s time a dash of inspiration with today’s Moody Monday! We have been happily perusing the recent fashion collections from Fashion Week, and seeing all the trends for the upcoming seasons. We love Star Wars everything here (*ahem* here, here, here, here, here *ahem*), so seeing that Star Wars hit the runway for Fall/Winter 2014 in multiple shows was AWESOME! Naturally, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi’s Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection made us SO happy, we just had to share it with you all!! The Preen/Disney collaboration brought us Darth Vader’s mask in a very abstract and motif-esque way, making the pieces wearable for the everyday. You can check out the full collection, including the other Star Wars outfit, HERE.

Our Star Wars collections are always filled with flashes of bright colors, interesting galactic scenes, and all your favorite SW characters (Yoda, Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Darth Vader…hey, everyone has their favorites). What we love almost even more is being able to chat with all the fellow Star Wars fans, and seeing all their incredible projects with our Star Wars fabric. We are always so amazed at their incredible creativity, and it always makes our days when they share their projects with us. We are so thrilled that we get to a part of such a wonderful and passionate community! Be sure to check out all of our Star Wars goodness here.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday! Here’s to a fantastic week; have a great day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a great end to the week. We are currently hosting our Frolicking Forest Giveaway this week on our Facebook Page, so be sure to check it out and enter if you haven’t yet. If you love all things woodland and adorable forest animals, you will LOVE this week’s giveaway!

To end another great week, we have our Fan Friday for you. Today we are sharing an incredible project made by Nicole Wells; she tagged us on Instagram and we just had to share it with you all! Nicole’s son is entering the world of Kindergarten this fall, and he wasn’t especially excited. Shopping for school supplies wasn’t much of a success, so she decided to make something that he would get excited for! She decided to make him his very own super cool backpack, and let him choose the fabric. He chose our Angry Birds Star Wars collection because he loves the “Pork Side”! Nicole said that he was so ecstatic about the whole process, down to waiting for the fabric to arrive! So great to hear that, with his awesome, new backpack, he can’t wait to show it off on his first day of school! :)

We cannot believe that Nicole sewed up her very own backpack (in an uber cool collection, we might add haha) – it looks incredible! Nicole has an online shop, Ni-Chern Design Shop, where you can check out her bags, wristlets, pouches, aprons, and more! You can also find Nicole on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for even more. Once again, thank you so much Nicole for sharing your project with us!! It absolutely made our week! And, David, you are going to rock your first day of school – it’s going to be awesome!! :) Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
