Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We are happily enjoying the sunshine and warm weather today. The pretty weather is making us daydream of taking a relaxing, tropical vacation to Turks & Caicos or Hawaii! And speaking of dreaming, we have got a DIY project to share with you today that reminds us of just that. Our heads are in the clouds today…

This week’s How To’s Day is our DIY Star and Cloud Shape Pillows tutorial! All of you fellow dreamers and astronomy lovers, this project is perfect for you. Another bonus, it is super easy to make AND is an exceptionally adorable project! Our shape pillows would be a great addition to a sky-themed bedroom (think clouds and stars scattered across a blue comforter!) or as a gift for a future astronaut! We always love to encourage creativity here, so these would be perfect playtime toys for kids – let their imaginations run free – and then a comfy accompaniment for naptime (because all that playing can wear you out, after all!). We adore our shape pillows with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis, a brilliant and bold airplane- and sky-themed collection!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a fantastic, restful weekend. We are SO ready to kick-off the first week of June. Wow, we can’t believe it’s June already – it feels like May has just come and gone…but that means we are getting closer to Summer!! :) Have you entered our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway yet? Be sure to ENTER for your chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and a coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spool Case!!

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are sharing a stunning and zesty collection by Jane Farnham for Spring 2014…Peacock Garden! This collection is bright and vibrant with its fun chartreuse, spearmint, royal blue, and pink color palette. And just as the name suggests, Peacock Garden includes pretty peacock-inspired designs with dainty peacock feathers and plumage décor. The colors and flora designs give this collection a very happy and playful feel, but at the same time very feminine and soft. We can imagine a lovely Farmer’s Market tote with Peacock Garden, as well as a fun summertime dress. This collection would be absolutely stunning as a quilt too!

For Spring, you can never go wrong with florals or pastel colors! And Jenny Packham’s Spring 2014 Collection suggests just that. Enthralled in pretty, muted shades of pinks, blues, and greens (with the fun pop of chartreuse!) this collection reminds us of our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection. We absolutely adore the mix of tones, the fluttering chiffons, and the incredible beaded work that Jenny used to create a fantastic, Edwardian-inspired fashion collection. We especially love this dress, which captures the wonderful flora essence of Peacock Garden. You can see the full collection here!

Be sure to check out our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection, and let us know which design is your favorite. We hope we had inspired you today with our Moody Monday. Have a great day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a lovely day. Unfortunately, we’ve been getting some pretty yucky and muggy weather here as of late. We were surprised with a heavy downfall this morning, and some hail (yes, hail!) in some parts of the city this weekend. Let’s hope June will bring some more sunshine!!

To brighten up a gloomy day, we are here with our weekly How To’s Day! And this is a fun one, with colors that will surely brighten up any rainy day. And that is just what we need! Today we are sharing our Foldover Wedding Clutch Tutorial, featuring our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. With Summer approaching, it also means that party and wedding season are here too! And we couldn’t be any more excited!! Gorgeous floral arrangements, stunning gowns, delicious food, and heartwarming nuptials…we LOVE it all!  Plus, who wouldn’t want a reason to wear a cocktail dress and pretty accessories? :)

Our foldover wedding clutch is the perfect compliment to an even more perfect day!! This beautiful clutch would be a wonderful gift to show your loving bridesmaids how much they mean to you, or an added accessory to hold all your wedding day essentials! It would be great for a night out with the girlfriends or as a makeup/essentials pouch too. We adore the pop of color with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection; plus the suede or leather section is such a stylish detail!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Happy Memorial Day to all our American friends! Have you seen our latest How To’s Day? We posted a tutorial for a stunning Lattice Table Runner that would be the perfect centerpiece for all the upcoming Summer parties. Find the free tutorial here!

It’s time to start another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with one of our Spring 2014 Collections…Folklore by Heather Rosas for Camelot Fabrics. Folklore is an exquisite collection of ruby, turquoise, and cream hues to create a very happy and modern look. The designs in this collection include sweet birds, fluttery leaves, and a multitude of spring florals – daisies, roses, and tulips!

There is a Scandinavian feel of the designs in Folkore, but the brighter colors make it very fresh and on-trend. We can imagine a perfect Farmer’s Tote, a precious apron for the baking enthusiast, or a playful dress with the turquoise & red hues of Folklore!

One collection that has a similar essence to Folkore is Antonio Berardi’s Spring 2014 collection. The soft hues of creams, nudes, and pinks make this collection very pretty and fluttery, especially with the sheer and delicate fabrics. We especially adore the floral detailing, with the subdued metallic accents. This collection is very feminine and dainty, and we love the juxtaposition of the bohemian-inspired hairstyle and bold red lips. This collection reminds us of our Folklore by Heather Rosas Collection with its beautiful floral details, muted creams and pinks, and boho-vibe. You can check out the full collection HERE! We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday!

Happy Sewing!
