Welcome!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday! Hope you have all had a lovely and restful weekend. Today we have officially dipped below O°C and have seen our first glimpse of frosted sidewalks…the true sign that, though not all will be in a communal hoorah, winter is a-comin’!

Today we bring to you another Moody Monday, and in correlation with our current Winsday Giveaway, we are sharing our Mint to Be Moodboard!

Our Mint to Be fabric collection is an array of mint, orange, and blue hues in pretty floral, ombre, ikat, and mandala patterns. The three colors are stunning on their own, but placed together encapsulate a beautiful range of complements. The colors are equally vibrant and warm, and would be perfect for any future home decor projects, or for your (or your daughter’s) next party dress!

One recent Fall 2013 collection that is the perfect accompaniment to our Mint to Be collection is Michael Kors’s 2013 RTW. The main colors involved in this collection are vibrant orange, amber, blue, and green hues mixed together effortlessly with black and camo prints. The designs from this collection are almost futuristic, but still with a sleek and classic vibe with their tulip skirts, oversized coats, tweed blazers, and herringbone patterns. Though an abundance of different silhouettes and patterns, together they are seamless, as are the designs in our Mint to Be collection. This modern and out-of-this-world collection can be seen here.

If you adore this collection and would like to enter a chance to win a Mint to Be FQB…you’re in luck! We are giving away a Mint to Be FQB for last week’s Winsday, and you still have until this Wednesday to enter. Just tweet our hashtag #SEWSOCIAL and you will be officially entered. We will announce the winner on this week’s Winsday post. Stay tuned and good luck!! Click here for the complete giveaway information.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

October has officially come to an end…Happy November! We are SO excited for all the holiday excitement and cheer that will soon be encapsulating the frosty air. Our November To-Do List includes listening to holiday music (never too early!), baking lots of pumpkin and apple pie, sitting by the fireplace with a good book, supporting all the men participating in Movember, and of course, starting to decorate the office with a garland…or two! And to kick-start this wonderful November, it’s time for another Fan Friday.

Today we are featuring two projects by Another Eternity using our Star Wars fabric…a zippered pillow and a drawstring bag! Check below for some pictures:

They are super well done, and the perfect projects for any Star Wars enthusiast! Thank you so much, Another Eternity, for sharing your Star Wars projects with us!!

If you have created a project using any of our fabrics and would love to be featured in a future Fan Friday post, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com or @mention us on twitter. We LOVE seeing all of you incredible projects using our fabric designs!

Happy Sewing!

Hello everyone!

First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Whether you are all decked out in a fabulous costume today or going out with the little ones for Trick-or-Treating, we wish you a boo-tiful and safe Halloween!

Being that today is Thursday…it is also Thankful Thursday! Today we have decided to take the time to thank one fantastic and vivacious lady, the beautiful Mdm Samm from Sew We Quilt. Mdm Samm has been such a wonderful supporter to us, has created many amazing projects for her blog using our fabrics, and overall has been the best cheerleader! We absolutely adore her!!

Here are some of her projects:

…Using our Simply Fashionista fabric, Mdm Samm created the most darling sewing bag (named the Tammy Bag) and a sweet thread catcher to match. We just adore the ruffles!!

As well, Mdm Samm sewed the perfect, hero-worthy quilt using our  Man of Steel fabric for her eldest who is a big Superman fan!! It is absolutely amazing, and would make any Superman fan swoon! We also featured her quilt in a past Fan Friday, which you can check out here.

And this is just the beginning! We are so ecstatic to be working with Mdm Samm and there is lots more to come. We are also the official sponsors of her next blog hop, The Boys Blog Hop, which will run from November 6th – 13th, 2013. We are SOO incredibly excited to see all the amazing and creative projects that will come from the blog hop!

Thank you Mdm Samm for being the ultimate cheerleader!! We are sure you have heard of this lovely lady, but here is her blog link to check out all her posts and blog hops.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Today is another How To’s day…time for another crafty project for you all! We are sharing with you a tutorial on how to make your very own Smoking Slippers.

Our Smoking Slippers for Men & Women were made with the Design Studio Collection. The ladies’ slippers are made from 2140504 #1, Blue & Gray Fretwork, and the men’s slippers are made from 2140507 #3, Gray Mandorla.

As far as flat shoes goes, ballet slippers have been “in” for the longest time and still will be for years to come. But, there is a new contender in the mix that we have seen pop up lately…and those are the adorable smoking slippers. Originally from the Victorian Era, smoking slippers were used by men when they entered the, well, smoking room. Fast forward to the 21st century, they are now the latest footwear for both men and women…and with the newfound purpose of simply fashion wear.

Smoking slippers are a mix between a ballet flat and a loafer, and are often embellished with tassels, monograms, and in fun prints. And on top of being fashion forward and trendy, they are also super comfortable.

Today we are showing you how to make your very own pair of smoking slippers, so now you can be on-trend at home too! Let’s get sewing!
