Quilted Liberty Jacket

October 16, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Gill Nicholls from the Lewes Sewing Bees has made this stunning Quilted Liberty Jacket. She’s used Anna’s Garden Teal from my exclusive ‘Butterfly Garden’ collection and has lined it with Plain Light Pink Tana Lawn. I thoroughly enjoyed modelling this beautiful jacket and quite fancy making one myself! I asked Gill about the project. Why did you choose the fabric? “I chose Anna’s garden fabric because it was a stunning large print with gorgeous colours. A quilted jacket seemed a good choice although the fabric would look amazing as many different garments.” Which pattern did you …

Laura has made this completely gorgeous patchwork dress using the new ‘Exclusive Butterfly Garden Collection‘. Having been involved in the design process of this fabric collection, she couldn’t decide which fabric to make a dress out of so used lots of them.

It is not at all as hard or tiresome as you may think and you will love it to bits, I am …

This uses the Mitsi white on white as a background fabric with the exclusive mustard and greys collection fabrics as the sweet hexagons for decoration. When …
