Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! We cannot believe that we are nearing the end of March already. But, with the weather also starting to get warmer here, we hope this means that signs of Spring are near! We have been super inspired by all the bright colors and fun prints we have been on Pinterest, in stores, and in magazines!

BurdaStyle‘s Spring 2014 Issue is filled with lots of style inspiration to get you ready for the warmer weather! Along with endless Spring fashion tips and tricks throughout the magazine, the BurdaStyle magazine also includes full-sized fashion sewing pattern inserts for on-trend clothing pieces that you can create, to your taste. We especially adore the fabric 101 section in the magazine that focuses on everything you need to know about fabric, from selection to care and so much more!

Another great feature in the magazine is the Fabric Trends section, showcasing trends for the current season. Our Iconic Collection is perfect for the warmer weather, as the coral and navy hues in classic prints are very nautical and mod/60s-inspired – two huge trends for this season!

We love the combination of navy and coral – very refreshing, vibrant, and happy…which is just what Spring is to us! You can check out our Iconic Collection here for all the designs. We also have a couple of free projects featuring our Iconic Collection – Our Necktie and Conversation Hearts & Banner tutorials.

We also adored seeing popups of our fabric collections, such as Sweet Pea in the background of Denise’s editor’s note and this lovely floral pattern from Baby Dino! We collaborated with BurdaStyle by sending them our fabric collections, and it’s been super fun spotting our designs in their magazine, tutorials, and in the background of their webinairs!

Be sure to check out BurdaStyle’s Spring issue – there’s a ton of sewing & fashion ideas in it; you definitely will not be disappointed! You can also check out their website for even more inspiration to get your creative juices flowing for spring. Thanks for reading this week’s Thankful Thursday – Have a good rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! How has everyone’s week been going? March is National Craft Month, and as the end of the month is almost near, we are reflecting on all the fun projects we have created this month. In March we have shared four new free project tutorials (How to Sew a Button, Our Plus Sized Quilt, Tiny Adventures Dress, and Our Cascading Chevrons Pillow), as well as our exclusive, outsourced free quilt patterns. We also have a roundup of all our recent quilt patterns in a blog post here.

It’s time to announce our Beyond the Backyard FQ Bundle Giveaway winner! We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in our giveaway. We received so many wonderful replies and entries, getting us even more excited for Spring, so thank you so much!! And a big “hello!” to all our new friends too!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a restful weekend. As well…Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! May your day (and all the days forward) be filled with good health, good luck, and happiness – the three virtues that represent each leaf on a shamrock. We hope you find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow today! :)

To start our week, we are going to share with you some fabric and color inspiration with today’s Moody Monday post. Today we are going to inspire you with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. Just as the name implies, this is a stunning neon infused collection. Yup, you read right – a neon fabric collection!! Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is a lovely array of neon pink, green, and yellow geometric prints against a white background to really make the colors pop. There is no shying away with this fabric collection, as the neon colors are very vibrant and luminous – exactly as you would imagine neon to be!

Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is perfect for adding pops of color to your outfit with a neon bag, skirt, or headband while keeping the rest of the outfit neutral (unless you’re even more bold, then neon all the way!). As well, our neon fabric collection would look stunning as a pop of color in any room décor. This collection screams fun, effortless, and vivacious – and that’s just how you will feel with Neon & On by Jackie McFee. You can check out the full collection here!

Spring is just around the corner (at least according to our calendar!), so we have been excitedly filling our wardrobes with pretty things to wear for the upcoming season. Neon colors are always “in” for Spring and Summer, and a perfect way to break away from the many darker colors and layers of the colder months. After being bundled up for that long, bring on as much color as possible we say! One collection that we especially loved for Spring 2014 was Lulu Frost’s latest collection. Although Lulu Frost is an accessories brand, their NYFW display was a color-infused, show-stopping experience. Their latest Spring collection is called “Neon Baroque” and they grabbed inspiration from that for their show. The models were dressed in ethereal neon tulle skirts and crop tops, their décolletages and wrists saturated with stacks of the glistening jewels that also carried on the neon trend. You can check out the full collection here, as well as the Lulu Frost website for more!

Thank you so much for checking out this week’s Moody Monday! We hope we have inspired you. Wishing everyone a luck-filled day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was Spring Forward yesterday, so although we will get the benefit of having more sunshine throughout the day…getting up to having lost an hour on Sunday was definitely not fun. Alas, this only means that Spring is coming soon! :)

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Fox Friends by Allison Cole collection, from Winter 2014. Fox Friends is another one of our kid-friendly, novelty collections that we just absolutely adore!! The main hues in Fox Friends are pink, mint, red, and brown creating a very sweet and ethereal feel to the collection. The adorable foxes, friendly clouds, and gentle birds make this a very happy and quirky collection, perfect for all the tiny adventurers you know! Fox Friends would make the prettiest dresses and skirts, or a woodsy themed bedroom! Imagine some lovely curtains, pillows, or girly quilt with our Fox Friends collection…oh how cute right?!! You can check out the full collection here!

One fashion collection that is inspiring us this week is Calvin Klein’s  Spring 2014 RTW collection. The colors in his latest collection are soft and subtle, but with tiny splashes of color that make a statement. The main color palette of this collection is green hues, pinks, creams, and browns. The mixture of these soft colors are very springtime and vacation appropriate, with a very relaxed and beach-y feel.

We especially love this outfit, as well as this one and this one as they especially encapsulate the mood of Fox Friends. The feel of this collection and choices in hues reminds us of our Fox Friends by Allison Cole color palette. You can check out the full collection here.

Thank you so much for reading today’s Moody Monday post! We hope we have inspired you :) Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope you are all having a great end to the week. We are in our first week of March already! This weekend is Spring Forward…not looking forward to waking up an “extra” hour earlier on Sunday but very happy about more sunshine! Spring shouldn’t get too far along now, we hope! :)

Today is our Fan Friday blog post, and we are sharing a fun project with you all today. Fellow Canadian, Tiffany Skogan, is a stay-at-home mommy with a new baby boy and an avid crafter. She loves to create her own sewing projects, more specifically baby-inspired, and started to make these projects for herself and friends! All of her projects are soft and cuddly, and things that she uses on an everyday basis – but with an adorable twist!

Having gotten lots of positive feedback from her friends, she decided to open up a small Etsy Shop (BugInARugBC) to showcase her items around the world. Sewing and creating is a hobby and a passion for Tiffany, and it definitely shows in all the things she makes. She has now expanded her list of items to baby blankets, hooded towels, crayon rolls, strap covers, and lots of other baby essential items!

Tiffany absolutely adores our Imaginarium Collection, and used it for lots of her baby essential items. She shared some her favorites with us, and we definitely had to share them with all of you! We adore the strap covers and baby blanket with our Imaginarium fabric!!

Thank you so much, Tiffany, for sharing with us – We absolutely adore all your baby products! We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday. Until next week, have a fantastic weekend everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
