Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. It’s almost the weekend!! Three days into the new year, and we are feeling great. So ecstatic and happy for all the amazing things to come in the new year. What is everyone’s plans for the upcoming weekend? It’s the first weekend after the holidays, so we think a sit-down by the fire with a good book sounds just about right.

Today is Fan Friday on the blog, and we’ve got another great person to share. Coral, quilter and crafter (we adore her already!), shared with us her “Boldly Go” pillows with us using our Star Trek fabric and we absolutely love them! After Coral’s sister-in-law saw an advertisement of Star Trek fabric at a local quilt shop in Australia, Coral thought it would make a great project idea. She bought the fabric, used Design Sponge’s Pillow Tutorial, and thus two Trek-worthy pillows were created!

She designed one with our Blue Space fabric, and one with our Characters fabric. Coral and her mother-in-law bonded over their mutual love for Star Trek (both big Trekkies…though her mother-in-law prefers the newer series to the original), and will be gifting them to her for her birthday in January! Check out the pillows below:

Thank you so much Coral for sharing your amazing projects with us, and for allowing us to share them! We are so happy that, as a true Trekkie, you adore our Star Trek fabric! You can check out Coral on Twitter. Thank you so much for reading today’s Fan Friday. Happy Weekend everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy New Year everyone! We cannot believe that it is officially 2014 – where did 2013 go?! We have met so many incredible people, launched fantastic collections, and started up so many fun and rewarding projects in 2013. We must say that 2o13 was an incredible year for us, and we hope that 2014 will be just as good.

With the New Year, people often take it as a fresh start as well with resolutions. Does anyone have any New Year resolutions for 2014? :) We are looking forward to all the amazing adventures and ventures to come! Here’s to 2014 being another incredible year!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! As well, it’s New Years Eve!! What is everyone’s plan for tonight to ring in the new year? We cannot believe that 2014 is just hours away…wow! Reminiscing of all that has happened in 2013, we have much to be thankful for. We have met so many fantastic and inspiring people, worked on amazing projects, and have continued to grow as a company. We have also seen the tremendous amount of love and support from all of you, thank you sososo much!! Seeing all your projects and kind words truly make our day, and we hope to continue to create designs and content that will inspire you! 2014 – we’re ready for you! Here’s to making 2014 another brilliant year!! :)

We’ve got another How To’s day for you. Today we are sharing a tutorial that we’ve used to create one of our favorite projects. Our super sweet penguin stuffed animals were created using Purl Soho’s Purl Bee Penguin tutorial. We think these penguins look very dashing cloaked in our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole fabric collection, a wonderful modern twist to these stuffies. We’ve been seeing lots more eclectic and contemporary kid room accessories in stores as of late, and though these penguins would look adorable with any print, using contemporary fabric designs fit the bill (hehe, silly pun!).

You can check out the full tutorial for these little guys over on the Purl Bee by Purl Soho website. You can also check out Purl Soho on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s How To’s Day! We hope everyone has a fantastic New Years too. Do any of you have any New Years resolutions? If so, we would really love to know! Until next time, we  wish you a lovely and safe night, bringing in the new year with all your loved ones.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is having a marvelous day so far. Today is New Year’s Eve…Eve (yes, it is now a thing ;)). There is still much to celebrate. Coming near to the end of 2013, we wonder where the time went by but so many amazing things have happened this year that we could not be happier. We’re excited for 2014 to come around to be yet another fantastic year!

Along with it being Monday, it’s time to share with you another moodboard. Today’s Moody Monday is inspired by What a Gem by Allison Cole. What a Gem had come out with our Fall 2013 collection, and is just bursting with color and character. This collection has a bohemian yet modern vibe with its tribal prints, arrows, feathers, dream catchers, and rich hues of pinks, navy, and emerald. This collection is perfect for your little boho youngsters or yourself; imagine a What a Gem bow tie, play tent, or trapeze dress – oh how cute right? When we see What a Gem, we think dancing in flowing dresses and frolicking through luscious forests. Check our moodboard for even more inspiration:

Now to add some fashion inspiration into the mix! With its luscious, warm hues and boho feel, the 2014 Spring RTW collection by Sacai reminds us of What a Gem. The Sacai collection is a wonderful mix of rich blues, pinks, and greens in mainly sleek silhouettes, but with dashes of tribal in its fringe and mesh details. We adore this collection, and tribal will definitely be a trend for the upcoming seasons! Check out the full collection here.

We hope we have inspired you today with our What a Gem moodboard and fashion trends! This is also the last official Moody Monday of 2013 – wow, see you next year!! Have a Happy New Year everyone :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday, the weekend is just upon us. If you are still recovering from the holiday celebrations, oh we hear you…because so are we! We cannot believe that the holiday season is officially over for 2013, but that also just means we now have all year to come up with creative and fun ideas for the 2014 celebrations ;)

It’s time for another Fan Friday post! Today we are taking the time to share with you a fun and creative shop, PK Stuff. Pam Kellebrew, owner and product extraordinaire of PK Stuff, started up her shop after many years delved in the crafting world. It only seemed like the natural, next-step to take – to share her passion with others – and is now behind a very successful online shop! PK Stuff sells all sorts of wonderful things, from stuff for your home to stuff for your bag! Pam loves to create “stuff” that are not just functional, but also pretty to look at..and she definitely does just that.

Amongst all her lovely items, she has used Camelot Fabrics in the mix! Our favorite is her PK Go-Go Wristlet and Tote About with our Simply Fashionista by Jackie McFee collection. By the way, how cute is the name of this wristlet? We adore how the floral fabric looks, styled as this sweet wristlet that is perfect to take with you on the go! Beautiful style and great choice in fabric, Pam!

Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful wristlet and for loving our fabric designs! If you would like to check out her wristlets, and all the other wonders she carries, click here for her shop! She also sells fabric, and you can follow her on Facebook. Thank you so much for reading this week’s Fan Friday! If you have a project using our fabric and would like to share it with us, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com – We adore seeing all your fan projects! :)

Happy Sewing!
