Happy Thursday! We have been launching our Fall 2015 Collections this week! Let us know which ones are your favorite so far :)
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring an Canadian-based Etsy shop – Barabooboo Designs – dedicated to handmade, high-quality, and beautiful wallets, handbags, and totes. Michelle, owner and creative behind Barabooboo Designs, started handstitching at the age of 5… and never looked back. She is a fabric buyer, collector, and sewer and adores working with fun, modern fabric prints. After spending 14 years as a floral designer, she went back to her true passion – sewing – and started Barabooboo Designs.
She recently launched a couple of bags featuring our Elixir collection, and we just had to share!! The first is the gorgeous Lantana Shoulder Bag, the second the lovely Jada clutch – both patterns by Blue Calla. We adore how she mixed a soft gray fabric with our Elixir print. So pretty!
Thank you for the fabric love, Michelle!! We are obsessed with your Elixir bags. You can find more from Barabooboo Designs on Facebook, Etsy, and Instagram. Have a terrific day, y’all!!
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a marvelous day!!
On to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing a project featured in the Sew Fabricated Quilt Shop – our Boxy Tunic sewn by the lovely Jess Zim. To showcase our Paradise by Alisse Courter collection, they chose our Boxy Tunic (a free pattern on our website!) as the front liner, and wow – does it look fantastic in person!! They chose the purple, medallion print for the bodice, the floral damask print for sleeve and hem details, and even added POCKETS!! An addition by Jess, that we absolutely adore. The dress is so cute, and makes for a wonderful walk-in to greet customers.
This dress definitely made us take a double-turn look when we saw it on Instragam!! Jess did an amazing job in creating the Boxy Dress, and we hope she had fun sewing with our pattern!
Thank you so much, Jess and Sew Fabricated, for the pattern and fabric love!! We want a dress of our own – pockets included!! ;) Have a wonderful day, everyone!
On to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a lovely Australian-based online pattern shop, Tadah! Patterns. Tadah! Patterns evolved from Lauren Harris’ (owner and creative behind the brand!) love for sewing and want of creating clothing that is both comfortable and beautiful for little ones to wear. She loves timeless styles, with a modern twist, which she uses as influences in her patterns. She is passionate about sewing, which definitely can be seen in her gorgeous, easy-to-follow patterns. Her goal is to design patterns that fun to sew, but that result in professional quality garments.
One of Lauren’s latest patterns is the Tea Party Dress. The Tea Party Dress pattern is a darling little dress, that includes over 190 unique combinations – from sleeve, neckline, skirt length, skirt type, accessories, and more! The Tea Party Dress pattern allows for you to customize the perfect dress for your little one, whether it be for a day to the park or for a wedding! Additionally, the pattern includes sizes from 6 months to 8 years old, and is great for medium-skilled sewers.
Laura of LauraCreates, sewed a version of the Tea Part Dress for her daughter, Harriet, during pattern testing with our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham Collection. This dress features a full skirt, half-cap sleeves, and a scoop back. Her little one looks oh-so precious in her new party dress, and she is ready to dazzle and dance!
Too adorable, right? Thank you for choosing our fabric, Laura!! You can find the pattern for the Tea Party Dress here, as well as more from Laura on her Instagram. Have a great rest of the day!!
Happy Thursday! And Happy October!! It definitely feels like fall today – crisp and chilly this morning! Definitely needed to bundle up in my blanket scarf… Brr!!
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! We are sharing some super exciting news with you all today!! Missouri Star Quilt Co. is a family-owned quilt shop located in Hamilton, Missouri with the sweetest story ever. Mom, dad, and their seven children moved from California to Missouri, but after the market crash and dip in the newspaper industry, things got a little tough. Two of the kids had an idea to help out their parents towards retirement. They bought a small building and started the Missouri Star Quilt Co.– selling a few quilting supplies and offering some machine quilting services to start.
They quickly found success – in part due to mom, Jenny, who became the quilting instructor and started a quilting YouTube channel(which is now the most subscribed and watched quilting channel!). They also have an online shop, with great deals every week! They have now expanded, but the love for family & fabric is continuous and strong.
This month, they are hosting one of the greatest fabric sweepstakes of the year – the Golden Star Sweepstakes! And we are so excited to be a part of it. With your order, you will receive a golden ticket. Best part? Every scratch card is a winner!! Included in the prizes is lots and lots of pretty Camelot Fabrics bundles ;) The grand prize is a VIP shopping spree to the quilting capital of the world, which includes meeting the amazing Jenny herself! See the video for more info – it will also make your afternoon! :)
We are so thrilled to a part of such an incredible sweepstakes!! THIS is the ultimate giveaway for all fabric lovers!! You can find out all the deadlines in the video, as well as here. Get your scratch card and see what you win!! Have a great day!
It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our favorite quilters, who sewed a quilt for us for Quilt Market. I know, Fall Quilt Market is already coming up oh-so quickly that the Spring one seems so far away… but we really wanted to share this beautiful quilt with all of you! As well as the quilter behind it, because we adore her! Vicki of Orchid Owl Quilts has quilted a few quilts for us (some of them are hush hush for now! ;)), and every time we receive a quilt we are amazed at the intricate work she does. She quilted our Butterfly Quilt (one of the free patterns on our website), with our Botanical Collection, and this one especially “wowed” us (it’s also a big one!). We loved how it acted as a showstopper backdrop for our Botanical section!
Thank you so much, Vicki, for always doing such incredible work for us! She has also helped us in checking some of our patterns, and is always so great to work with. We appreciate you so much, Vicki! To check out more from Vicki, be sure to visit her website and Instagram! She’s always posting something new and wonderful. You can also find the free printout for the Butterfly quilt here. Have a great day!
