Liberty Detachable Collar

December 29, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Laura has made this gorgeous Liberty Detachable Collar which is fully reversible. It’s got a lovely vintage style about it and I love the fact that it is two garments in one. Laura told me about the project below: “I have never had any need to do the whole ‘Christmas jumper’ thing. Certainly no need for jumpers in December in Australia. ‘Christmas sunburn’ was more the thing, an attractive red and regret-tinged momento of what my Christmas Day outfit of choice did not cover. Ouch. However I must say that even if they were a thing Down Under, I probably …

Liberty Pine Cone Decoration

December 23, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Pauline from the studio has made this really sweet Liberty Pine Cone Decoration. It looks super simple but yet really effective hanging from the door. The vibrancy of the Liberty fabric really showcases the pine cones beautifully. Pauline said about the make “I spotted it on Pinterest and thought it was the perfect no-sew festive make when time is always short at this time of year. I have loads of pine cones so it was meant to be. Armed with my trusty glue gun and beautiful Christmas inspired Liberty fabric, already pre cut into 2″ ribbon strips, it was a …

Liberty Christmas Decorations

December 22, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Kathy has made these lovely Liberty Christmas Decorations. They are a really great, simple make that could be made as part of a Christmas crafting session – perhaps a lovely mum and daughter project. Kathy talks about her Christmas crafting here: “I made these decoration as a little aside to the rest of my my Christmas makes. I saw them on Pinterest and thought they were a little shabby chic. It’s a great project which can be made out of scraps.” “Firstly, I embroidered the words onto some hessian fabric I already had in my stash and sewed this onto …

Beautiful Liberty Prism Decorations

December 15, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Kathy from the studio has made these Beautiful Liberty Prism Decorations using leftover scraps from a variety of other projects. I completely love these Liberty prisms. They are so delicate and look super fun to make. I asked Kathy about the project. “I found these lovely prisms on Pinterest and they really caught my eye. I’ve used 1” triangles as I wanted the finished decorations to be delicate. You can download a triangle pattern for this from the internet and print at home or alternatively you can buy the pre-cut papers. It’s a really great project for scraps – I always …

Rosie Rabbit Liberty Luna Lapin

December 13, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Lara from the studio has made this gorgeous Rosie Rabbit Liberty Luna Lapin. It’s from the book Luna Lapin’s Friends by Sarah Peel and the results are really beautiful. In actual fact, she’s made 3 of the teddies from the book but we thought we would share them over time as they are so lovely. I asked Lara about the make: “The rabbit is based on Luna Lapin but I did make quite a few alterations. I wanted to make a Little Red Riding Rabbit for my daughter Sophia and used the Wiltshire S fabric to make her dress. I …

Liberty Re-usable Face Cloths

December 12, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Kathy from the studio has made these gorgeous Liberty Re-usable Face Cloths. I made some of these last year to give as gifts and they proved so popular that lots of others have been busy making for the festive period. Kathy made these for her sister in law. These are a great way to use up your Liberty scraps. I asked Kathy about the project: “I bought the scraps to make something else entirely but wanted to make a birthday present for my sister in law Angela. Angela saw the ones you posted about last Christmas and liked them so, …

Liberty Christmas Tree Garland

December 10, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Sarah from the studio loves Christmas. She’s made this gorgeous Liberty Christmas Tree Garland as one of her projects this year. Sarah always comes up with lovely Christmas ideas and I love sharing these with you for some seasonal inspiration. Sarah told me about the project: “I love Christmas, special times with family and friends, the food, decorations and advent, the time of preparation, reminding me why I’m celebrating and helping me focus on what Christmas is really all about.” “The Christmas tree bunting was even easier than the angels previously shown on the blog. I printed a Christmas …

Liberty Christmas Angels

December 8, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Sarah from the studio has made these really sweet Liberty Christmas Angels. She’s used seasonal Liberty quilting cotton fabrics which showcase the angles cloaks beautifully. Sarah told me about the project: “To make the angels, I didn’t follow a pattern, I discovered them online through Pinterest and followed a link. They were very simple to make and involved both sewing and sticking! I chose quilting fabrics for these as it gave them a firmer finish than Tana. I picked traditional colours, typical of my taste, Wiltshire Shadow Forest and Wiltshire Shadow Ruby for the cloaks and lined them with …

Christmas Liberty Pyjamas

December 6, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Anna has been busy making Christmas Liberty Pyjamas for her children. There’s nothing quite like the feel of Liberty Tana Lawn against your skin and a pair of Christmas pyjamas is a lovely thing to receive. I asked Anna about the project: “I love making things for my children at Christmas but as they get older they are getting more specific about what they love to receive. This year I thought I would make pyjama bottoms and get a lovely snuggly top to go with them. I used the pattern Simplicity 1504 which has got lots of different options for …

Moravian Star Liberty Decoration

December 4, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Kathy from the studio has made this lovely Moravian Liberty Star Decoration. It uses the technique of EPP (English Paper Piecing) which is really fun and a little bit addictive. I asked Kathy about the project: What inspired you to make this gorgeous Christmas decoration? “I saw it on Pinterest, instantly liked it and fancied having a go at making something new. I’ve become obsessed with patchwork and EPP and thought this would be a quick project. I was wrong about that! It wasn’t quick to make but I really enjoy the process of making it.” What pattern did …
