My Lovely Liberty Easter Eggs – I just had to have a go at making these fab Easter eggs this year – after the success of my Christmas baubles, I thought Liberty would look just as great on an Easter tree. Inspired by Mary Berry and her program about Easter food and decorations, (there was a lovely Easter tree on the Easter feast table – but it would have looked even better in Liberty fabric!) I thought it was about time I had a go. Admittedly, there’s not that much time before Easter day – um it’s tomorrow but …

Half Term Haberdashery – Lovely Liberty Project

November 1, 2018October 21, 2015 by Alice Caroline

One of my Liberty projects is featured on the Liberty of London website today in time for the Half Term holidays. It’s a customised girl’s jumper – the perfect rainy day project to make this half term and wear all winter.
