Handmade at QuiltCon with Caroline!!

 
 
 
 
As you all know, Caroline was manning booth Cabbage Rose this past week/end at QuiltCon and if you follow her on Instagram or on her blog Sew Caroline, you also know that girlfriend MADE part of her outfit every day with some of our awesome patterns and fabrics...yeah, she's that awesome. So here's what she wore on Day One of QuiltCon!!
 
 


 
 
How AMAZING is the Schoolhouse Tunic by Sew Liberated?? Caroline has made this pattern over and over because its just SO simple and looks totally chic as a tunic/top or dress and you can either purchase the pattern or learn how to make it with Caroline's Class!!! We think this design looks killer for Spring in that pretty pastel print Spa Geo Coral by Michael Miller Fabrics! We actually just sold the last of this bolt but we're ordering more so it will be back in stock soon!!
 
 
And here's Caroline's look for Day Two!
 



 
 
 
Loving her Perfect with Pockets Skirt made with the Silk Road Stripe print, also by Michael Miller Fabrics!! I love the way this skirt turned out! Probably her cutest one to date! She is currently working on the pattern for this adorable skirt but you can learn to make it with her Class this Spring!
 
 
So, are you inspired yet?? With all of the awesome new Patterns for Fashion coming out these days, there's no excuse for even beginner sewers to not have a few super versatile designs in their arsenal so they can make cute new clothes for themselves each season!
 
 
We'll have more outfits made by Caroline for QuiltCon later this week so stay tuned!!
