Welcome!

What We Love time… #57 that is ♥ Lots of inspiration from the wonders of mother nature this week. The brief sighting of Pluto this Tuesday (with its lovely heart-shaped bit) was a fascinating look into our mysterious universe.  It makes us realize that there truly is so much more to be discovered around us, on land and up above. From the deep blues of the Mediterranean waters to this captivating Victo Ngai illustration, see what else we’ve been inspired by this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We’re hosting an Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter!!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a new pattern by Tie Dye Diva – the Jon & Janie Romper! Jen, pattern designer behind Tie Dye Diva, creates wonderful and easy-to-follow clothing & accessory patterns for boys and girls. The Jon & Janie Romper is an adorable little romper pattern for your little one, as it can range from newborn to 3 years old. There are two versions, the classic romper with straight legs or with a gathered-bottom bubble. The gentle curves and snap inseam of the romper make it comfortable with a diaper. And bonus! There is a tutorial that will also show you how to make a dress version from the same pattern.

Bibbity Bobbins sewed a version of the Jon & Jamie Romper to be featured with the Tie Dye Diva pattern, with our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk Collection! She chose the green design with adorable little foxes, and we love how sweet it looks as a full romper. Her son is looking very happy & dashing in his new playsuit!

Thank you so much, Jen, for choosing our fabric collection to feature with your new pattern! You can find the pattern for the Jon & Janie Romper here. Jen also designed a Tunic & Bloomers set for our Free Projects Program which you can find here & here. Have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It was sooo hot and humid here, but oh-so nice. It was the perfect weekend for a bit of swimming, and then staying indoors with the AC ;)

Let’s start off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our A Marsala Moment by Jack!e McFee for Camelot Fabrics. A Marsala Moment is our luxurious and warm collection of blue, marsala, and metallic copper. From the gorgeous sheen of the copper to the bold hue of Pantone’s color of the year, A Marsala Moment is one stylish collection. Amp up the luxe factor of any interior space with some AMM accessories – a copper & marsala throw quilt, some pillows, and some tabbed curtains! As well, get ready for a night on the town. Throw on your favorite LBD, and add a AMM clutch for a pop of color!

Marco de Vincenzo‘s Spring 2014 Collection was moody and unique. From embroidery decals to perforated jackets, there were lots of fun details in this collection. The colors were very much fall-inspired: dark emerald, navy, and marsala were the star hues, in contrasting textures and fabrications. We loved the asian-inspired influence of his collection, with a modern twist. We especially adored this shift dress, which was reminiscent of our A Marsala Moment collection. So on-trend and gorgeous!

I hope you have been inspired by today’s Moody Monday! I’d love to know what summer trends or colors you are excited about trying. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Along with launching our Summer 2015 collections, we’ve also launched a couple in our double gauze with Nordic, Ethereal, and The Beach House Collection. Double gauze is our newest, lightweight fabric that is exceptionally soft and flowy. Ethereal, our fluttery and floral collection, would make a lovely, comfy infinity scarf. Look fabulous heading to the beach in our stylish, pom-pom beach cover-up in our The Beach House Collection. And once you’ve had some fun in the sun, throw on a comfy maxi skirt and a Nordic crop top – and you’ll be ready for a casual dinner!

See all of our double gauze prints for Ethereal, Nordic, and the Beach House Collection. We’d love to know what you think about our newest substrate, and what you would create.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day!! We’ve been posting our Summer 2015 collections this week, and we’d love to know which ones are your favorite!

Ending another wonderful week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some really awesome washable grocery bags that Karin, of Leigh Laurel Studios, made. Using the Grocery Bag pattern from Michelle Patterns, Karin said that the bags were so fun & easy to make…that she made 7 of them! The bags are lined, reversible, and washable so they are super convenient and durable to use for all of your groceries.

She chose to use our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection, which is the perfect collection for a bag to take to the farmer’s market! She mixed up the prints, which made for some super fun totes – say goodbye to your plain canvas totes, when you can have one with fruits on it! ;)

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Karin!! We love your whimsy, grocery bags! You can find more from Karin on her blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
