I have been wanting to feature this girl for the longest time.
jcaroline creative.........I admit it.........I'm a bit intimidated........I didn't want to leave anything out. She's pretty famous in the sewing world......she's even been published in many magazines.

She can pretty much do anything with fabric and keep her sense of humor and we all know I can't do anything with fabric and my sense of humor would turn from wicked to downright evil.
She started
j.caroline creative a few years ago when she was designing handbags. Since then, she has grown her business into a bit of all things creative. Need something? Check out her store.
What keeps me coming back to her site are her witty remarks, her fearless photos of her messy office (you will never see my messy scraproom) and all her crafty endeavors. This is her office after shot. Love the shelving. You have to read her post about this one. She just makes me giggle.

She is the master of re-upholstering furniture. This is one skill I would really like to have......
From this ugly old thing..........it's hard to imagine this being hip isn't it?
To this!!!!
Or what about these two old forgotten bedside dressers.
using fabric?.......this changes things people. It's not just paint anymore............watch out!
Love the lines of this chair. Not the color.........She can fix it, just hold on. From drab.............
to fab!
Are you inspired yet? Or overwhelmed? Or maybe just plain depressed.
Well then how about a little treat? ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4RECrIXZyjhtLlqvR57k_raWevScCVgDtEV3px-B1_cTVlkx14kYHt5j1TwTtOoDnfAMtq3R1ArGofAjrzx9rdBJAYDYLwME6mjNlYAtxDHGJ7n7R6zrtvFjYMenR9Z_d2KFwp6yzfngw/s320/6a00d834fad2a269e200e54f2dcc288834-800wi.jpg)
Cupcakes from her daughters party. I can do that..........it's using paper.
To speak to my organizing obsession, I found these totes she made......with fabric from her store of course.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnNcUd07TzP-_1yQor9LUsXtgKkxfhpGi5cwzY5vDS55p-1HN2Q3kNCdlm2vTxJTlS76yUqafhZdIgdzNxym5i3Tu_xnjGgc3lEYQ_bB1y3s7FPSNZ4NAkgpxkqVAmgCC9tnW0VDzo7Za/s320/6a00d834fad2a269e200e5500d5fb08833-800wi.jpg)
We've all been to
Wordle.net..........(if you haven't you must go) She took her idea, printed it either on fabric or a iron transfer and made this pillow. Love that idea. My mormon sister did this for her neighborhood..........used Wordle that is. Printed out words for each family and framed it. Isn't that a great idea?

I think one of her best re-do's............are these shoes! Who thinks to update their shoes?! This could start a trend.

See...........I told you.

I have been a fan of J. Caroline Creative for a few years now. She was my first source of Ribbon when I started making hair bows.
Kim, I love her! She's fab!

Thanks so much for doing all the "legwork", or in this case, wrist work, to bring us a wonderful helping of daily inspriation. You are appreciated!
How fun, I just found your blog through jcaroline and have it bookmarked! Love it! Look forward to checking back in!
I've been a big fan of jcaroline creative for a while now. So much talent. I wish I could have just a tiny piece of that.
OOooooo! She's the reason I took up sewing! I totally LOVE her!
Unbelievable! I love EVERY single thing she has done! Amazing! And those shoes... now that is COOL! My mind would have NEVER went there. Never!
Good pick!
Smiles,

it looks like everything she touches turns to gold. what a fun find!
I love j caroline! I love her how-to tips on her website and have learned so much from them!!
She is one of my absolute favorites - I dream of having talent like hers.
Wow, I wish I could be that talented with fabric. Amazing!
WOW!! Jcaroline is amazing. I wish I had all of that talent.
I have loved JCaroline since I saw her store as a ribbon source in an article by Stacy Julian. I bought some awesome paisley fabric from her too, which my mom used to cover a chair cushion with. LOVE LOVE LOVE her store.
I just wanted to say that I love your blog!
I can always count on being inspired when I stop by:)
Thanks for sharing.
Kathy :)
Thanks for sharing this GREAT site with us! I have downloaded a few of her tutorials and will be starting the vinyl bag shortly! so excited!
LOVE her stuff!!
good find, kim!
I would KILL to be able to re-upholster!!!! I've got two chairs I need to do it to and I'm in the process of getting prices. IT AIN'T CHEAP!!
I've been reading her blog for awhile now and I've ordered from her too in the past. Great gal and I love her stuff...messy or not!
I am so excited to visit this one! Those totes are so cute; I hope she gives directions because I have been looking for some and couldn't find a fabric or pricepoint that I liked. I didn't even consider making them myself! And that sofa; oh my! Did you notice how perfectly placed the pattern is? I would like to follow this gal around for a while to find out how she does it all.
Hey....Great pick to feature her! I saw her site a few months ago and read through it all. I'm sure it's time to go back again and be impressed.
