Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Sending you all positive vibes today for a great start to the week!

And to kick start this week, it’s time for our Moody Monday post. Today we are inspired by our beautiful black and gold collection, Nightfall by The Camelot Design Studio! Nightfall is a black- and white-based collection, with intricate metallic gold details of dots, chevrons, houndstooth, and tassels. This collection is very reminiscent of the Great Gatsby times; it sparkles, it shines, it is just stunning!! It is the perfect collection for anyone looking a bit of extra dazzle in their wardrobe or home – this metallic gold printed fabric collection will not disappoint!

One fashion collection that emphasizes our stunning black and gold collection is that of Dries Van Noten’s Spring 2014 line. The collection includes some colour with its muted floral prints, but it is the cream, black, and gold accents that greatly stand out. The gold ruffles, embossments, and textures pop against its black and cream backgrounds making each clothing piece all the more elegant, rich, and like works of art.

What makes this collection exceptionally beautiful is the great attention to detail, even with the limited color palette, that instead chooses to focus of texture and shape which reminds us of our Nightfall fabric designs. Pops of gold are definitely in, and metallic will be on-trend for the upcoming Spring 2014 season! You can see Drie Van Noten’s exquisite collection here.

We hope you have been inspired by today’s Moody Monday! Have a great day everyone :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. We are half-way through the work week! The weather have been pretty calm here this week, but we are expecting to get some more snow this afternoon. Winter isn’t leaving us quite just yet. We’re just hoping for some mild temperatures and sunshine with that snow, please :) Here’s to all the fun snow-filled activities to come!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. The end of the Winter holidays only means the commence of all celebrations to follow (ie. Valentine’s Day, St. Patty’s Day, Easter, etc.). With the bountifulness of all the upcoming celebrations, having the appropriate attire is always *fitting*. And yes, from one woman to another, it’s honestly one of the best parts of a holiday – finding a new and pretty outfit to match! ;) But…how about the men in our lives?

Sure, a man can wear his best suit…but even they have the chance to amplify their outfit a bit. Changing up a necktie design is one of the easiest ways to start anew with a basic suit. Today we are sharing our DIY necktie tutorial with you all! Any design would look fantastic with our tutorial, but we especially adore our Iconic collection as an added freshness and modernity to a look.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is having a great start to the week. How was everyone’s weekend? We can’t believe we are already almost mid into January , but 2014 has been pretty lovely so far!

The weather has been changing pretty ferociously, from hot to cold and gloomy to sunny. And with the ever-changing influx in weather comes lots of sniffles and runny noses. Alas, the season of colds is among us. Getting sick means the need for lots of vitamin C, which can be found in yummy fruits such as oranges, apples, and strawberries. The thought of delectable fruits have inspired today’s Moody Monday post. Today we are inspiring you with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection.

Fruit Stand is a beautiful collection, with a very warm and home-y feel. The wonderful hues of purples, chartreuse, coral, and teal make for a very cozy palette – the perfect collection for all your kitchen decor needs! This collection would make lovely curtain, tablecloth, apron, and cloth napkins for a modern country, farmhouse, or cottage feel.

Better Homes and Gardens always posts such incredible interior design ideas for the home, and we are always inspired. One section that we particularly love is their kitchen decor. Looking at all the dream kitchens make us long for our own fabulous and bright kitchen, but for now looking will have to suffice. Their country and cottage kitchen sections are the perfect backdrops for our Fruit Stand collection – so fun, fresh, and cozy! You can take a look here for all their kitchen inspirations.

We hope you have enjoyed today’s post. And if you are also stifling a cold today: keep warm, drink lots of honey tea, and get your share of some vitamin C! Have a great day everyone.

Happy Sewing!

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!
