Perfectly pairing fabrics is a sewing art, and learning how is easy when you do it the Lindsay Wilkes way. The popular blogger and author of Sew Classic Clothes for Girls: 20 Girls’ Dresses, Outfits and Accessories from The Cottage Mama built her signature style around mixing and matching patterned fabrics.
