Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday everyone! We hope everyone is feeling fantastic! We are hosting another awesome Winsday this week, we are giving away our Itty Bitty FQB and two coordinating Aurifil spools!! Such a great prize pack, so if you’d like to enter the giveaway be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page.

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful and delectable craft magazine, Craft Ideas! We are such huge fans of Craft Ideas Magazine, not just for their incredible content, but also the people are the sweetest. We want to take a moment to thank Annie Niemic for being such a lovely person to work with and get to know! We have featured Craft Ideas on the blog previously, which you can check out here, but there can never be too much praise for this magazine. We love this magazine for its creative crafts, from beading to sewing to crocheting and everything else in between!

Yes, it’s still Summer but it’s never too early to start thinking about Fall and Winter decor ideas (am I right? haha!). We absolutely adore Craft Ideas’ Autumn-inspired magazine, which is giving us so many fabulous ideas for upcoming crafts for the fall season. It’s so lovely to flip through the vibrant pages and see all the warm autumn hues! There’s even a Halloween section (we are big fans of Halloween in the Camelot Design Studio…dressing up = the best thing ever!), and are excited to make the mini dracula ornaments – too cute!! If you continue to flip through the magazine, you’ll find two of our projects – our Herringbone Quilt by Christa Quilts (p.72) and our Roonie the Raccoon Pillow (p.68)!

Thank you so much Craft Ideas for featuring our projects!! They look absolutely amazing and we are so excited to see them in print. Be sure to check out Craft Ideas on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for lots more, as well as their website for more craft inspiration! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! How is everyone today? We hope you’re feeling awesome! Have you seen yesterday’s post? We were inspired by one of Jessica Biel’s outfits, which was reminiscent of our Kate by Camelot Design Studio Collection, for this week’s Moody Monday.

It’s DIY time!! That’s right, today is Tuesday…so it’s time for another How To’s Day. As always, food seems to be a very popular topic at the Camelot Design Studio, so today’s tutorial is one near and dear to our hearts…and tummies! Last week, we shared with you our adorable, and scrumptious-looking, plush macaron pillows tutorial. This week’s tutorial? …also food-related, but hey, we’re good with that! Today we are featuring our Hostess Apron Tutorial.

Our Hostess Apron is a very pretty, ruffle-trimmed apron that is perfect for all your baking and cooking adventures…while still being in style! We also love a good party (glitter and confetti streamers required!) and we love to bake & cook, almost as much as we love to eat all the delicious foods, so why not put all three favorites together? Host a sewing/baking party with your closest girlfriends: sew your own hostess aprons and then bake some yummy cookies as a reward! How fun! Our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole is absolutely brilliant with our apron; the kitchen-inspired prints work so great, and are so fun & bright together.

We cannot wait to have our own sewing or baking party soon; we’ll all be rockin’ our fabulous aprons and eat scrumptious food….what could be better than that? :) Want to create your very own Hostess Apron? Click HERE to see the full tutorial!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a great and restful weekend! Did anyone do anything fun? :) Here’s to another fantastic week!! If you haven’t seen our latest tutorial, you definitely should! We shared our adorable (and relatively simple) Macarons Pillows Tutorial last week. Be sure to check it out HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday. Today we are featuring a sophisticated, modern, and classic collection…Kate by Camelot Design Studio! Kate is a collection of grapefruit, indigo, and chartreuse tones that encapsulates a very warm and rustic vibe. The ogee, tiled, lattice, and chevron patterns add a playful touch to this otherwise sleek collection. Kate calls for a dressed-up affair – a rooftop 5 a 7 or garden party…you are ready for anything! Any of the designs in this collection would look stunning as a simple shift dress, a necktie, or a couple of pillows to add some flair to your living space. The possibilities are endless! :)

The color palette of Kate makes for an especially polished and refined feel, and this outfit that Jessica Biel sports definitely resembles just that. Jessica Biel is a very reserved actress, with very scant highlights in the press (which is a good thing!). Her demure sophistication is definitely displayed in her modern eggplant and coral ensemble. The dual tones of coral/tangerine tones add for a very pretty monochromatic look…which she completed with a complementary eggplant-hued jacket, bag, and pair of heels. This outfit gives a very similar feel to our Kate collection, in both tones and feel. Such a lovely look…great job, Jessica! You can check out the full Kate Collection HERE! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired…to wear a monochromatic look, or just a pop of eggplant of coral in your look. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Wishing all of our American Friends a fantastic and safe Fourth of July!! :)
