Meet the Caroline Dress
Project Features
The Caroline Dress is the perfect addition to a feminine wardrobe. The tiered skirt offers a loose fit and hits just above the knee. Ruffle sleeves finish off the look giving it a fun, flirty look. This dress is perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
Project Difficulty
The Caroline Dress is a great project for anyone with a basic understanding of garment construction and confidence in their sewing knowledge. It is categorized as an Intermediate Level pattern, so it has skills that can be more difficult for a seamstress who doesn't have much experience with sewing garments. If you're still considering yourself a beginner and have a few clothing projects under your belt, this is a great project to grow your sewing abilities.Fabric Recommendations
Light to medium weight wovens such as chambray, linen, double gauze, shirting, suiting and rayon challis are great for the Caroline Dress. Ensure the fabric isn’t too thick and has a fluid drape. Thicker fabrics can be used, but volume from the skirt may need removed to handle a heavier fabric.
FAQ
Can I make this using my home sewing machine?
You bet! This pattern can be exclusively done on a home sewing machine. In the video tutorial, I serge the bottom edge of the facing, but I also include other options on how to finish this if you don't have a serger.
What is included with this pattern?
When you purchase this pattern, you will receive a digital copy of the Caroline Dress pattern and the instructions. The pattern instructions include written and illustrated directions. There is also a video tutorial that walks you through every step of the printing, cutting and sewing process.
What if I don’t know how to use digital sewing patterns?
Don’t you worry. I have a detailed video explaining the process of downloading and printing digital sewing patterns. It’s way easier than you may think.
I’m still new to sewing, will this be too difficult for me?
There’s no time like the present to learn a new skill. While this might take you a little longer than the estimated time, it’s definitely doable for a beginner looking to improve their sewing skills. This project is perfect for those on the line between being a beginner and intermediate and will teach you valuable skills when it comes to creating your own clothing. If you’ve never sewn before or still aren't confident in your sewing skills, I suggest you check out some of the patterns in the Free Content Shop or some of the more beginner friendly patterns in the Pattern Shop.
Happy Sewing,
