Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We don’t want to stress you…but there are four more weeks until Christmas, four more weekends for Christmas shopping. Now, you’re probably going through the list in your head of all the people you need to get gifts for…but don’t worry, don’t panic! We’ve got you covered with our creative and amazing DIY projects. And today, we’ve got another…the perfect home decor project for you or for an interior design-enthusiastic friend!

Today we are sharing with you our DIY Tabbed & Lined Curtains. Curtains may not seem like the easiest things to make, but trust us, our tutorial is super easy to follow…your windows will be looking fab in no time! Let’s get sewing!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a blissful start to the week. We cannot believe that Christmas is officially a month away (seriously, where did the time go?!). We are so excited and happily getting into the holiday spirit, but there is still much to do! We’ve got lots of beautiful DIY projects in the works though…the perfect gifts for anyone!

And to add a little inspiration to your day, we’ve got today’s Moody Monday for you. Today we are sharing with you our The Design Studio Collection moodboard! The Design Studio Collection is a brilliant and bold collection, not just in color but also in print and patterns. The collection is a wonderful mix of chevrons, herringbone, hexagon, and fan prints in unexpected black, grey, yellow, and turquoise color combinations. The designs are vibrant and exuberant, adding some cheer to any home decor or wardrobe project! Have we got your gears turning for some amazing DIY gifts planned? ;)

Our eclectic collection is reminiscent of Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2013 RTW collection. Oscar used a mix of black, turquoise, yellow, and pink hues in his garments but varied with bold patterns. The silhouettes were classic and simple, but the fantastical prints made them even more special. The thick black stripes, the tulle turquoise dresses, and the ensembles of grey & yellow mixes make for the perfect supplement to our The Design Studio Collection! Be sure to check out the full Oscar de la Renta collection here.

We hope our collection and moodboard has given you a bit of inspiration this Monday! Here’s to a great start to another wonderful week. Until next time!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

It’s Friday!! We hope everyone has had a lovely week…but cheers to the weekend!

Today we’ve got another brilliant fan project to share with you all, Becky from Sew Becky Jo! Fabric-enthusiast, Becky, created the most awesome {and incredibly practical!} tote bag, using our Star Wars Greenprint fabric. She used a pattern from Fresh Lemons, called the Farmer’s Market Tote, and after seeing pictures…we are oh-so jealous!

The super-handy tote is beautifully lined and has extra storage pockets (who doesn’t love pockets?!) on the outside, an essential for any farmer’s market-aficionado (ahem, or for those who throw just about everything into their bags…we are guilty!). We applaud Becky for her fantastic craftsmanship on the tote!

Becky also sewed some uber cute bibs with our Superman and Batman flannels for a couple of superhero-worthy babies. Love!

So much love for this tote, and it looks great with our Star Wars Greenprint fabric. Thank you so much for sharing your project with us, Becky! You can check out Becky’s other projects on her blog, twitter, and instagram.

Happy Sewing!

PS: If you have a project using our fabric, please share! We absolutely adore seeing all of your projects. You can email us at info@camelotfabrics.com or even tweet us! 

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

A little quote inspiration for today: “Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can” – Danny Kaye

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday post, and today we are taking the time to thank Michelle from Hypernoodle! A little bit on Michelle and Hypernoodle: Michelle started a Etsy shop dedicated to her love for fabric, and being able to share unique and on-trend fabrics with other fabric-enthusiasts. The once small Etsy shop quickly expanded, and Michelle has since been able to add many more incredible fabric lines to her shop, even launching her own website. With it, she also has a blog and Etsy shop dedicated to her handmade treasures. Camelot Fabrics is honored to be one of the fabric lines featured in her shop!

We’ve had a great bond with Hypernoodle, and for this past Fall Quilt Market Michelle sewed a stunning project for us. She used a darling Pleated Ruffle Coat pattern from Amelie & Henri Patterns using our Design Studio Collection fabric, and it was definitely a “wow” piece! Any little girl would feel like a true princess in this coat. Thank you so much, Michelle, for the beautiful piece. As well, Hypernoodle & ‘Maureen Cracknell Handmade had hosted a giveaway with bundles of our fabric at the beginning of November (over now!) but we wanted to also thank her for that. We always love reading what people think about our designs!

Thank you so much Michelle for being the most amazing Camelot Fabrics cheerleader, we really appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm so very much. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday. Be sure to check out Hypernoodle and Michelle’s Etsy shop! You can also find her on Facebook.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s time for us to announce the winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway. Allison Cole designed a stunning fabric collection, and we are so glad you all enjoy it too. We were absolutely amazed and tickled by all the original project comments, and had so much fun perusing through all the ideas. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this giveaway; we sure have a lot of creative readers! But alas, only one person will be receiving this week’s fantastic FQ bundle. Be sure to check next week’s Winsday for another giveaway!

But now, it is time. The winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway is… Louise Horler!

There were so many creative project ideas, but we thought Louise’s idea of using the fabric to create feathers for bird wings was ingenious! Her two children will look just darling in them. Please be sure to send us pictures of the finished project; we would love to see! Congratulations, Louise. Please send us your mailing address at info@camelotfabrics.com

Once again, thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! There are still lots more opportunities to come, so be sure to stay tuned! We post 5 days a week on our blog, each day with a different theme, that we hope can give you some daily inspiration. Until next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!
