Make it with Caroline in 2013!!


This year is already off to an incredible start with all of the new Classes we already have scheduled this season! We have new teachers  as well as new classes from our veteran teachers, meaning 2013 is going to be as fresh as can be at the Cabbage Rose! Especially with all of the fun fashion and home decor classes that Caroline Hulse has going on! The Gum Drop Pillow Class was a hit last year and she's offering lots of dates in the next few months including NEXT SATURDAY, January 26th from 1:30-5:00pm and the FOLLOWING THURSDAY EVENING, January 31st from 5:30-9:00pm. Caroline scheduled all of the dates for this class on Saturdays or Thursday evenings to give more of you the opportunity to take it! So sign up today and learn how to make this cool Amy Butler pillow for your home!


The next class of Caroline's that will come up on the Calendar is the Abby Bag Class on Thursday, February 7th from 5:30-8:30. This bag is an awesome every day accessory big enough to hold all of those daily essentials without being overly huge! You want to wear a bag, not have it wear you am I right?? Well in our opinion, the Abby Bag by V & Co. is the perfect happy medium size. Plus, the bow doubles as a cool cotton scarf, a sweet accessory to rock over a simple tee and jeans while toting your brand new Abby Bag! This is a great simple tote for those who would like to create something interesting but don't have the patience for super intricate bag construction! More dates here!


Now if you want to talk about versatile, we can't leave out this sweet and chic tunic by Sew Liberated! In the Schoolhouse Tunic Class you'll learn this beginner pattern that will give you so much bang for your buck! Easy to construct and totally flattering, you can wear it as a tunic over colored jeans or fun leggings or paired with a coordinating tank top and worn as a dress! Once you know how make one, you'll have to make another in that new fabric you just fell in love with! Her first date for this class is Monday, February 11th from 10:00am-3:00pm and she has one scheduled each month through May which you can see here!


And if you are a brand new sewer, you won't want to miss the Perfect with Pockets Skirt Class! This full  and flirty skirt is flattering on everyone, is SO easy to make AND it has pockets!! How fun is that?? You can do a paper-bag or simple waistline and create totally different looking skirts in your favorite prints of the season! Easy to dress up or down, you might just start LIVING in your Perfect With Pockets Skirts! Caroline sure has!!! The first date for this class is Friday, February 8th from 1:30-3:30pm with another chance to take it each month through May! See all of the dates here!


AND if you have a young one that would like to learn how to sew, Caroline is teaching an After-School Sewing Series for ages 7-12 starting in February, meeting ever Tuesday from 3:45-5:00 for 4 weeks in which they will complete 3 projects giving them basic sewing skills and the confidence to keep going on their sewing journey! Kids don't need any prior sewing experience for this series so sign your little one up today!! See the details here!!

We are so excited about all the teaching Caroline is doing! Come take part in one of her classes this year and bring some handmade into your life!
