Liberty Wide Leg Trousers

July 25, 2019August 9, 2019 by Alice Caroline

Anna’s made these super cute Liberty Wide Leg Trousers using Isadora from the new AW19 collection. I am planning to make some of these myself as I love them so much. They are perfect for the warmer summer months and if you wanted to extend the season, you can interline them to give them additional thickness and body. Liberty Wide Leg Trousers – the fabric: Isadora is a soft watercolour of the peacock feather, which is an integral part of Libert’s design heritage. It’s also a strong emblem of the ‘Aesthetic Movement’ which is the inspiration for the AW19 collection. …

Liberty Dress for Autumn Winter 2019

August 13, 2019July 26, 2019 by Alice Caroline

I’ve made a Liberty Dress using ‘Lake Octavia’ from the new AW19 Liberty collection. It uses the pattern by Made by Rae and is the ‘Ruby Dress’ which can be found here. It’s a really simple project for someone who is just starting out on their dressmaking journey. I’ve really enjoyed making this dress and am looking forward to making this in all sorts of fabric combos. It took a while to make the bias binding to edge the armholes and neckline but it looks great next to the contrast fabric. The pattern: This is a lovely dress with a …

Gorgeous Liberty Quilt As You Go Quilt

June 12, 2019January 11, 2019 by Alice Caroline

Anna JP has made this Gorgeous Liberty Quilt using a combination of the two latest Liberty fabric collections. It has beautiful fabrics from both the Classics 40th anniversary collection and the SS19 seasonal collection. The Quilt as you go technique is really simple. It’s a great way of getting a quilt result in quilting. The method means that you have a backing piece of fabric (right side down), place your wadding on top of that and then quilt your panels onto the front. In this case it is strips of whole width of fabric. Here are some of Anna’s …

I’ve put the fabric into some gorgeous fat …
