Liberty Like Classics

I like most of you love liberty fabrics.

I'm thinking most of us have a small stash amongst the others!

Problem I always had and I guess, the same for most is the cost when sewing something big!

When you are looking at a minimum of £5 per fat quarter for the cheapest I have seen but averages £5.60 - £6.00.

So sewing a king size quilt - Liberty Style is going to cost a fortune!!

Getting the Blues

I have been checking different makes and classics not necessary the latest limited design out there, as want to be able, like the liberty fabrics supply them as all rounder long term classics.

Pink Flush

But as well as using them for large patchwork, even floaty floral dresses, think about classic garden setting table cloth, napkins accents against white, curtains, bunting & blinds - the list is endless.

Rosey Red

So for me now I can sew that king size classic quilt throw I always wanted with scalloped edges!!

Heavily quilted.

So these fabrics I have put together are smooth 100% cotton poplin.

which will be priced at £1.50 fat Quarter or £6.00 a metre

And I will do mini sample packs as well, to check them out.

Make - Mini Lavender Pillows

Mini Lavender Pillows

I saw a tutorial for this a while ago on The Purl Bee

and have been thinking of ways to use my scraps of Liberty of London's Tana Lawn fabric.

so I wanted to make mini lavender pillows......

If you have any jelly roll scraps this is perfect

I had 16 different Liberty fabrics cut to 2.5" 2.5"

I then cut 16 backing fabrics in a white spot to 2.5" x 2.5"

(these are mini!)

Next I folded over 1/4" of one edge and ironed

for both the front and back.

Place the 2 pieces of fabric right side together

sew down both sides and along bottom edge.

Turn right side out

fill with 2-3 teaspoons of lavender and pin

A pile pinned ready to hand sew

Slip-stitch closed the opening

You are then finished

I am thinking of making little boxes for these as they would make great gifts. Just seems that your are giving more 16 instead of say 3 or 4.

Now all I need to do is find a tutorial on box making......
