I just happened to notice Wednesday evening that Purl Soho was having a big sale on EVERYTHING to celebrate their 10th Anniversary. So, I hopped right over and bought this little bundle of luciousness. (Funny how spellcheck doesn't recognize that word). This is a bundle of Liberty of London fabrics. A small bundle, I might add. But, oh, the beauty it delivers! I discovered Liberty fabrics maybe 20 years ago when I was living in Tennessee and sewing all my girls' clothing. I enjoyed smocking and heirloom sewing, shadow embroidery and pattern drafting. But, Liberty of London fabrics, I could not afford. I did end up making one dress out of it for my youngest a little later. If I can locate a picture, I'll add it in. Update: FINALLY found a picture. It helped that she was small and it didn't take up too much fabric. I have sung the praises of this beautiful cotton ever since.
Here is a sampling of the beautiful fabrics included in my bundle.
Oh how I wish you could feel it. I may use them for something like this beautiful inspiration wall. Have you used Liberty's fabrics for a project?
Very pretty! I especially like the blue ones. I've never heard of Liberty fabrics...until now. Enjoy! Can't wait to see what you make with them. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhich dress was that?
ReplyDeleteoh how i love those fabrics...i can't wait to see what you sew up. i used to make clothes for my daughter when she was little and even did some smocking. i have saved all of the hand made clothes that i made for my kids in hopes that my grandkids can wear some of them.....if that day ever comes!
