Vintage Style Liberty Peg Bag

April 9, 2021 by Alice Caroline

Lara has made this gorgeous Vintage Style Liberty Peg Bag using the left over organic fabrics from the Easter apron. The new Liberty organic fabrics are perfect for this vintage style type of project. Their soft colours have a lovely vintage feel. I asked Lara about the project: “This project was an off shoot from the pinafore I made for Easter Sunday. I used the scraps from the fat quarters for the appliquéd birds and flowers. I love using absolutely every scrap of fabric up. I’m really into zero waste and this, coupled with the fact that Liberty fabric is …

Daydream Believer Liberty Blouse

March 12, 2021 by Alice Caroline

Lucy from the studio has made this simply gorgeous Daydream Believer Liberty Blouse. It uses one of the beautiful fabrics from the SS21 ‘Atlas of Dreams’ collection. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a garment when you look at a fabric so this blouse will hopefully give you some inspiration. I asked Lucy about her make: “When I first saw Liberty’s SS21 collection I was really struck by the sheer variety of designs. There is everything from delicate florals to exotic wildlife and many, many things in between. Can I just say at this point that this does not make it …

Beautiful Baby Quilt

February 13, 2021 by Alice Caroline

Dawn has made this sweet and Beautiful Baby Quilt using a really lovely combination of colours of Theo. This makes such a lovely and personal gift for a newborn. Who did you make this gorgeous quilt for? “I made the quilt for my nephew’s baby (on my husband’s side of the family). My husband and I have recently become Great Uncle and Great Aunt to baby Sophia. She was born 2 months premature so rather caught me on the hop with my quilt making!” What inspired your fabric choice? “As she was unexpected early I decided to try and …

I’m holding out so much hope for being able to be with friends and family at Easter time this year and seeing these projects has really lifted my spirits. There’s a beautiful table runner, gorgeous cushion and placemat. Dawn talks about her projects here. What gave you the inspiration to make this gorgeous table runner? ” I had some of the ‘Easter’ Liberty fabric (actually called Field Flowers!) left over from other Easter projects, and I only needed a couple of short pieces to ‘top …

Sweetheart Suffolk Puff Cushion

January 30, 2021 by Alice Caroline

Dawn from the studio has made this gorgeous Sweetheart Suffolk Puff Cushion. I always have loads of Liberty scraps and this is a fabulous way to use them up. It’s a great project to keep us occupied during those times when we need to stay at home too. Dawn gave a few hints and tips to consider when making this lovely cushion. I love this technique – where did you learn how to make these? “I learnt how to make Suffolk Puffs with my friend and brilliant quilter, Sadie Yeomans, when I first started learning to quilt quite a few …

Valentine Button Heart Cushion

January 28, 2021 by Alice Caroline

Dawn from the studio has made this adorable Valentine Button Heart cushion. I love the combination of vintage buttons with Liberty fabric in this project and it looks like a fairly quick and simple make too. I asked Dawn about the project: Where did you find the inspiration to make this cushion? “I had already made the button heart piece with some crafting friends and it seemed a good idea to make it into a cushion using Mitsi on the back. Like most sewing fanatics I had a plentiful supply of buttons but never seemed to use any of them, …

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 …
