Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We are celebrating Mother’s Day all this week because we love our mums! Today we are going to share with you a wonderful gift idea for that special mom who deserves to feel pampered.

This week’s How To’s day is our elegant Trellis Edged Robe featuring our Iconic Collection. This robe is luxurious and beautiful, complete with stunning trellis detailing on the sleeves and edging, as well as a satin lining. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a cup of coffee or tea, with the daily newspaper or favorite television show, snuggled up in this robe? There is no better way to spend the morning, we think. Our Trellis Edged Robe will make anyone feel pretty and like royalty, as our mums should feel every day!!

This is such a beautiful project, and we are so excited to share it with you! To complete the “day-in” look, you can check out our Pajama Pants tutorial to make your mom her very own Iconic pj set.

Hi everyone!

Happy Sunday! We are bringing you a very special, extra post this week because today is May the 4th which means…it’s #StarWarsDay!! This is for all our fellow Star Wars fans; we’ve got some fun things happening at Camelot Fabrics that we wanted to share with you today in honor of May the 4th! :)

Firstly, some May the 4th facts! Of course, the iconic phrase “may the force be with you” sparked the now celebrated May 4th as Star Wars Day. But, the first time the phrase was used was on May 4th, 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As a congratulatory advertisement in the newspaper, her party wrote “May the 4th be with you, Maggie, Congratulation”. May 4th is now coined as Star Wars Day and is celebrated worldwide by Star Wars fans, with organized events, parties, games, and more!

We are also celebrating Star Wars Day here at Camelot Fabrics and are giving away 4 Yards of our Glow-in-the-Dark Star Wars fabric this week! The giveaway is on our Facebook Page, so be sure to head on over there to enter by telling us who your favorite SW character is and why! The giveaway ends this Wednesday, so be sure to enter is you haven’t yet soon.

And lastly, we want to leave all our Star Wars fans with something to look forward to. We are SO thrilled that you have enjoyed our past Star Wars fabric collections, showcasing your amazing projects with us, and for all your wonderful comments! We absolutely love hearing your stories and we hope to continue to inspire your projects & crafts! Yes, that’s right SW fans – We are launching a brand new Star Wars fabric collection for Spring 2014, and we are sure you will absolutely adore it! We cannot wait for you to see the collection! We will be sharing a sneak peak of it at Spring QM, and lots more to come this month!! VERY exciting stuff!! :)

We wish all our fellow Star Wars fans a wonderful Star Wars Day! And of course, may the force be with you! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! It’s time to round out the week with our Fan Friday post! Today we are sharing a very cute and sweet pattern shop, Create Kids Couture. Shannon and Tiffany are the two creative ladies behind Create Kids Couture, a fun pattern boutique that started in July 2011 with only 5 patterns. From there, the boutique quickly grew in popularity and have now expanded to over 300 patterns for babies, women, tweens, boys, dolls, and more! With Create Kids Couture, they strive to create patterns that are both easy to follow and pretty – ruffles and anything girly are a must!

Inspiration for their designs is often sparked from their daughters’ tastes and surroundings, but for their Ginger’s One Shoulder Dress, they were inspired by our In The Navy by Jackie McFee collection! So sweet so hear, and it seriously made our WEEK! The goal was to create a dress with the fabric collection that was summery and showcased a multitude of designs…and we definitely think they succeeded! The tiered design of this maxi dress is super lovely and we adore the bottom ruffled layer (we agree that one can never wear too many ruffles or color!). The pattern also comes with a top version, which is fantastic. This is the perfect cruise or garden party dress for a sweet, little girl!

She is absolutely adorable!! :) And the matching rose headband and necklace are perfect accessories!

Thank you so much, Tiffany and Shannon, for sharing your beautiful outfit designs with us! To find the above styles, and for so many other adorable pieces, check out the Create Kids Couture website! As well, check out the Create Kids Couture’s Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram, smartphone app, and blog for more goodies. They post a new, free tutorial every week on their blog and a new pattern almost everyday of the week, so there is always something fresh and exciting. Thanks for reading this week’s Fan Friday – Have a superb weekend everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
