Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! It’s just about the weekend!! Does anyone have any special plans? It’s going to be rainy here for us, but we’re looking forward to a movie night in – complete with buttered popcorn, S’mores, warm socks, and a much needed Katherine Heigl movie marathon. Cheers to the weekend! :)

Today is Fan Friday here on the blog, and today we’ve got a super special treat (for both you and us!). We adore seeing all your projects using our fabric, but we’ve recently been posting our DIY free projects on our site which we are very excited and proud of. One of our most recent projects have been our Stegosaurus Plush Toys, and we received the best surprise from Judi who created her own steggies!

They are honestly absolutely too adorable for words. Judi created four of her own stegosauruses for her grandchildren, using our patterns, and even put her own spin on each of them. We love that each stegosaurus has its own personality – so so cute!!

Hello sweet steggies!! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed using our stegosaurus pattern, Judi! As well, thank you SO much for sharing your project with us. Everyone here is gushing over how adorable and lovely they are!!

We hope everyone has enjoyed today’s Fan Friday post. If you have used any of our free projects or our fabric, we would LOVE to see your projects! You can always send us pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com :) Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all are having a wonderful day. It is terribly cold and windy here today, with just a wind gust of only 45 km/hr (27.9 mi/hr)…eek! We are exceptionally jealous of all of you who are enjoying sunny weather and warm rays. With the cold weather, we need something to cheer us up…such as a…party! The holiday festivities have thus come to an end, but sometimes throwing a fantastic party on impulse is the best way to lift the spirits of any bit of S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder).

For us, any gathering that includes great company, amazing food, and lovely decor (and maybe just a dash or two of sparkle!) is a party! We love easy, DIY party decorating ideas and we’ve got one for you today. Napkins are a great way to change up a party look and add some instant flair to your dinner table, and our DIY napkins tutorial can do just that!

They are easy to make, look fantastic, and are environmentally-friendly. Ps, how cute are these measuring tape-styled napkin rings?! They are part of our new barware collection that will be coming soon, so stay tuned! So, call all of your closest friends and get to DIY-ing, ’cause you’ve got a party to plan!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Sending everyone positive vibes to a great start to the week :) Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. The weather here has been slightly gloomy, and now with the holidays officially over, we’re here to share a bit of brightness with today’s Moody Monday. Today we are inspiring you with our Bright Now by Jackie McFee moodboard!

Bright Now by Jackie McFee is a festive collection of vibrant, strong, and yes, bright colors – fun hues of pink, yellow, and blue. This is an especially on-trend collection with the surprising leopard print, bold floral, and chevron patterns. This would be the perfect collection for a flirty skirt to add to your wardrobe or to vamp up any stylish girl’s room! Our Bright Now collection is youthful, playful, and fierce. You can check out the full collection here!

With the weather still being super chilly here (ie. parka weather!), we were in need of something vivacious to liven up the day. And considering a hot beach vacation is not in the near future for us, our Bright Now by Jackie McFee moodboard is just that perfect inspiration for today. We hope you enjoyed our Moody Monday and have been inspired, and we hope you have a great rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!
