THE NIGHT BEFORE LIBERTY
There’s a shipment of Liberty of London fabrics in transit to the workroom. So, of course, I am up late looking at each of these six prints and wondering just what fun things they will become.
Mauvey, Kate Ada, Kitty Grace, Ebs, Douglas Stripe and Clemmie – we’re going to have so much fun together!

mmm those are some gorgeous prints…I’m fascinated by the bottom three…I’m super drawn to the orange in them!
How lucky you are to work with Liberty Fabrics! And I wish I could get a little sampler like you!
Have fun with the fabrics! I just made 2 top with Liberty fabrics and I get wait to get some more.
Those are gorgeous! Already, the creative wheels are turning…
I love the last one… can’t wait to see what you make!
Wow! Karyn those are fabulous! Great picks! (my favourite is the Mauvey.) I just bought “Sew Serendipity” (by Kay Whitt) and any/all of these fabrics would be amazing for the patterns!!!
Karyn, you take fantastic care of your customers!
Oh! Oh! I can already see Mauvey lining a new autumn jacket (made from a pattern this time!).
Let us know when it comes in…
I love the fourth one.
it looks so good.
If I had that swatch book I would never stop flipping through it… might even carry it around with me so I could look at it everywhere 🙂
I’m loving Ebs, though I tend to go for the more traditional-looking Liberty prints. I would love to have a top or dress in this fabric!
firstly – they ARRIVED!!! and they are so much lovelier on the bolt. i’ll take and post some beauty shots soon. sigh.
Amanda – i know, the orange palette totally caught my eye. i tried to be more diverse with my colour selections, but orange won!
Sylvie – oh, how i wish that sample book was mine. i had to give it back! and liberty is my favourite fabric to wear. it feels amazing!
Andree – it’s true, these fabrics inspire. i don’t know which one to start with!
Katie – i imagine that last print as a cute blouse of some sort.
Kelly – i’ll have to look up that book. the mauvey fabrics is yummy raisin and grey shades. it would look great on you.
carmen – i can’t help it!
charlotte – brilliant idea. i used liberty to line a coat before. made me so happy to wear that coat.
celine – you have to see it in person. roz was jumping up and down when she saw it.
jennifer – ebs, is even better in a large piece. it will definitely be a dress for me.
I had my mum bring over some mauvey from London at Christmas time (we don’t get much selection of Liberty fabric here in NZ). You have great taste
i am so jealous you get to flip through that sampler. how inspiring. you’re choices are fantastic! i wish i lived closer so i could come see them in person…or that you had a mail order store…
so beautiful.
They are all awesome, but Mauvey sings to me the most!
omg. so good.
these are all too beautiful, what a great selection and the colors are gorgeous
The Purl Bee (I think) had a lovely and simple scarf tutorial using a yard and a half of Liberty… sigh.
Yup. A yard and a quarter. So lovely: http://www.purlbee.com/luxury-liberty-scarves/
