Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone is having a great start to week so far. We can’t believe that it’s the last week of November – only 30 more days till Christmas!! Our holiday festivities are starting next week, so we are busy preparing for everything – decorations, baking, festive music – we are oh-so excited!!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with one of our collections called Playground by Vita Mechachonis. Playground is a super fun collection reminiscing to all the things we love most about our childhood, outdoor adventures. From playground rides to balloons to hopscotch, our Playground collection will bring you back to childhood memories. Mixed with whimsical numbers, chevrons, and flowers in a muted orange, blue, and yellow color palette…this collection is sure to please kids of all ages! We love the idea of our Tiny Adventurer’s Dress or Tunic & Bloomers in our playful collection!!

Olympia Le-Tan‘s Spring 2015 RTW Collection is so playful, fun, and carnival-inspired…and we just love it!! From the candy stripes to the “grown-up” overall ensembles, this collection is so whimsical, upbeat, and happy, and brings us back to the ‘good ol’ days’ in the best way possible. We especially adore the number-printed outfit that reminds us of our Playground Collection! Be sure to check out the full collection here.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your favorite childhood game was :) Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone.

Happy Monday! It’s the last day of Fall Quilt Market, but there are still so many things to do and see. If you are going to be at Quilt Market today, be sure to stop by our booth #1824; come see our newest collections and beautiful project displays! We’d love to see you!! :)

We’re inspiring you with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our out-of-this-world collections – Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is awesome for any little astronaut-in-training who wants to dream with the planets and stars. It’s the next best thing to the real universe! This collection features spaceships, astronauts, rocket ships, planets, stars, and more…and you want to know the best part? It’s glow-in-the dark!! This is an older collection of ours, but we do have our Ad-Fab™ in Outer Space Astronomy Lesson and our Outer Space Plush Fleece. These would make awesome projects for anyone who really loves all things outer space!

We absolutely loved See by Chloe’s Fall 2014 RTW collection of all things galactic! This collection featured bright, bold, and intricate details and patterns…including planet printed dresses and pants. Oh, how awesome!!

This whole collection stays true to the meaning of having fun with fashion. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear an awesome pair of trousers with planet prints on it? This cool print reminded us of our Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and we just had to share it with all our fellow space-enthusiasts.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday!! Have a fantastic rest of the day :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We are happily enjoying the sunshine and warm weather today. The pretty weather is making us daydream of taking a relaxing, tropical vacation to Turks & Caicos or Hawaii! And speaking of dreaming, we have got a DIY project to share with you today that reminds us of just that. Our heads are in the clouds today…

This week’s How To’s Day is our DIY Star and Cloud Shape Pillows tutorial! All of you fellow dreamers and astronomy lovers, this project is perfect for you. Another bonus, it is super easy to make AND is an exceptionally adorable project! Our shape pillows would be a great addition to a sky-themed bedroom (think clouds and stars scattered across a blue comforter!) or as a gift for a future astronaut! We always love to encourage creativity here, so these would be perfect playtime toys for kids – let their imaginations run free – and then a comfy accompaniment for naptime (because all that playing can wear you out, after all!). We adore our shape pillows with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis, a brilliant and bold airplane- and sky-themed collection!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. We are trying to embrace the milder weather, as we are supposed to be getting more rain in the next coming days. Sigh. We just want sunshine!! :)

In the meantime, we’ve got something else to brighten your day – it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day post! We’ve got a fantastic new tutorial to share with you all, our Easy Pillow Slip! We are all about simplicity and convenience here, so if we can make something…why not right? :) Bedcovers and sheets should be interchanged every couple of weeks, and there is honestly nothing better than the feeling of going to bed in fresh linens. However, buying extra bed wear can get pretty expensive, especially for something that can easily be made yourself, so we are going to share our tips & tricks with you today on just that!

Another awesome thing about bedcovers is that they are just that – covers for your bed! It’s the simplest way to change up a bedroom look; keep the rest of your bedroom décor neutral and add pops of color with your linens (ie. pillows, bed sheets, and curtains!). In a manner of minutes, you’ll have yourself a completely different looking room. It’s a great way to decorate on a budget (such as for a dorm room!), or for those who just like changing things up! Indulge in your inner interior decorator by mastering your very own pillow slips with our tutorial today.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and a great Valentine’s day spent with all your loved ones. The possibilities are endless, so here’s to a wonderful new week! :)

Today is also Moody Monday on the blog! We are sharing with you another fantastic collection of ours, Playground by Vita Mechachonis from our Winter 2014 collections. We hope we can inspire you today!

Playground by Vita Mechachonis is a very fun and exciting collection with a children’s twist on what playtime truly is…all about having a blast with your friends at the park and learning new things! Playground includes all the things that make playtime the best time – swings, slides, balloons, lively animals, and more in a mix of blue, orange, and red tones. This collection will bring great nostalgia to your childhood days, and is the perfect accessory for all your little one’s dress wear! Playground reminds us all that we are never too old to have fun! :)

The great month of fashion week is upon us, and we have definitely been inspired by the looks we have seen! One in particular inspires us with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection. In London, Roksanda Illincic’s Fall 2014 RTW collection was an exuberant burst of blues and oranges, very reminiscent of Playground. Not only were the colors inspirational, but each outfit and piece exuded a playful and unique style that made us swoon. We especially adored the mix of colors within the outfits: cornflower blue and taupe, navy and brown, & orange and black – SUCH a fantastic collection! You can check out the full collection here for details.

Be sure to check out our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection here for more. We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday! Have a fantastic day :)

Happy Sewing!
