Welcome!

Hi everyone!

This past week, Camelot Fabrics experienced its first time at the CHA show…and it was absolutely fantastic! We got to meet so many incredible and crafty people, made wonderful connections and friendships, and ultimately had a blast!

At the CHA show, along with our fabric collections, we also showcased our adhesive fabrics & felt designs and the positive feedback from everyone was outstanding. We included a Chalkboard Photobooth, complete with our chalkboard fabric as the backdrop (visitors drew the most awesome pictures on it, so thank you!) and felt props…and it was definitely a hit! We loved seeing everyone having fun with our photobooth, taking the most fantastic pictures.

As well, we included a Make & Take section where people were able to test out our new products, such as creating a quick but stylish coffee cozy! Thank you to everyone who came by and for their positive comments, as well as for all the lovely pictures we were tagged in. Click more to see the rest of our experience!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. In heart of the New Year, we especially love our Thankful Thursday segments to take the time to appreciate those who have supported and helped us. We truly have so much to be thankful from 2013, so many thank yous to carry on into 2014. Today we are thanking Julia from the blog, Nugglemama’s Handful.

Nugglemama’s Handful is a parenting and lifestyle blog that focuses on mommy-approved reviews, crafty projects, and great lifestyle tips. Julia created Nugglemama’s Handful with the experience of being a mum to 5, sharing her experiences and tips with other parents. One thing we especially adore about her blog is that she has a dedicated section to all things solely Christmas – Christmas Central. Yes, Christmas has passed, but still…we most definitely approve. Another bonus? Julia is a fellow Canadian too like us!

Julia created this absolutely beautiful wallet with our Birds of a Feather collection. Soso pretty and the ribbon is such a lovely touch. This would make a wonderful gift for any stylish girl you know!

Dipping back into the holidays, Julia created this beautiful yarn wreath using our Design Studio collection we sent to her to make the lovely fabric yo yos. Wreaths have become so much more modern and not only just for the holidays. They also make lovely front door décor for all year round too!

The Design Studio collection yo yos give a wonderfully sophisticated and pretty finish to the DIY wreath, the perfect finishing touch with the pearl centers. Oh my, so lovely! You can check out the full tutorial here. Click to see more after the jump!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. We are half-way through the work week! The weather have been pretty calm here this week, but we are expecting to get some more snow this afternoon. Winter isn’t leaving us quite just yet. We’re just hoping for some mild temperatures and sunshine with that snow, please :) Here’s to all the fun snow-filled activities to come!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. The end of the Winter holidays only means the commence of all celebrations to follow (ie. Valentine’s Day, St. Patty’s Day, Easter, etc.). With the bountifulness of all the upcoming celebrations, having the appropriate attire is always *fitting*. And yes, from one woman to another, it’s honestly one of the best parts of a holiday – finding a new and pretty outfit to match! ;) But…how about the men in our lives?

Sure, a man can wear his best suit…but even they have the chance to amplify their outfit a bit. Changing up a necktie design is one of the easiest ways to start anew with a basic suit. Today we are sharing our DIY necktie tutorial with you all! Any design would look fantastic with our tutorial, but we especially adore our Iconic collection as an added freshness and modernity to a look.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is having a great start to the week. How was everyone’s weekend? We can’t believe we are already almost mid into January , but 2014 has been pretty lovely so far!

The weather has been changing pretty ferociously, from hot to cold and gloomy to sunny. And with the ever-changing influx in weather comes lots of sniffles and runny noses. Alas, the season of colds is among us. Getting sick means the need for lots of vitamin C, which can be found in yummy fruits such as oranges, apples, and strawberries. The thought of delectable fruits have inspired today’s Moody Monday post. Today we are inspiring you with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection.

Fruit Stand is a beautiful collection, with a very warm and home-y feel. The wonderful hues of purples, chartreuse, coral, and teal make for a very cozy palette – the perfect collection for all your kitchen decor needs! This collection would make lovely curtain, tablecloth, apron, and cloth napkins for a modern country, farmhouse, or cottage feel.

Better Homes and Gardens always posts such incredible interior design ideas for the home, and we are always inspired. One section that we particularly love is their kitchen decor. Looking at all the dream kitchens make us long for our own fabulous and bright kitchen, but for now looking will have to suffice. Their country and cottage kitchen sections are the perfect backdrops for our Fruit Stand collection – so fun, fresh, and cozy! You can take a look here for all their kitchen inspirations.

We hope you have enjoyed today’s post. And if you are also stifling a cold today: keep warm, drink lots of honey tea, and get your share of some vitamin C! Have a great day everyone.

Happy Sewing!
