New Liberty Fabrics

Posted January 19, 2012 in Liberty Fabric, What's new
Comments Off

We’ve just uploaded these new Liberty fabrics. These are printed on the standard tana lawn, so they’re very light weight and drape beautifully. Perfect for summer/autumn tops and dresses! They are part of the seasonal Liberty fashion range, rather than the classic range and are larger scale than the usual which makes them ideal for women’s clothing.

We’ve just uploaded some beautiful new Alexander Henry fabric into the online store. The colours in these are really fresh – perfect for spring!

Liberty Fabric

The April issue of House & Garden magazine has this great little display of children’s fabrics. They made up some cushions from the fabric we sent them. Cushion 6 is a Liberty fabric – Liberty Fairford in pink, and cushion 5 is an Echino Flower Bed fabric. I love the way the whole scene has come together!

Nani IRO restock

These Nani IRO Fuccra floral designs have been really popular. We can’t often restock this range, but we managed to get some more of these ones in the Fuccra Butter, Fuccra Teal, Fuccra Aubergine and Fuccra Grey.

Nani IRO Versatile Skirt

Yet another Versatile Skirt in a quirky, abstract Nani IRO Fuukei print. The basecloth is a linen/cotton blend. You’d never know it was partly cotton though, it looks like 100% linen and the slightly open weave makes it drape beautifully. It was fun playing around with this print to decide which bits of the print to place where. A great design for spring!

New Nani IRO 2010

We’ve recently uploaded the new Nani IRO 2010 collection to the store. It’s mostly double gauze except for the Poster Fleur prints which are a lovely soft cotton and linen canvas.
Generally in the southern hemisphere we get summer collections in winter and winter collections in summer, but this particular collection has a couple of nice moody, winterish colourways (below).

Market Skirt Pattern

Here’s a sample of the Market Skirt pattern made up in Amy Butler’s Water Bouquet in the Midnight colourway.
This is a nice simple pattern with a gentle a-line shape. It’s super-easy to make. No zips or waistband. Just elastic casing around the waist. Very comfy!
It also makes a great early pregnancy or postnatal skirt too. Because, let’s face it, if you want to sew maternity clothes, there’s not exactly a truckload of options to choose from.
The Water Bouquet is also available in the Mint colourway below.

Echino Birdsong Versatile Skirt

This truly is a versatile skirt! The Make It Perfect Versatile Skirt is by far our best selling skirt pattern. It’s a simple wrap skirt that is super-easy to make: no zips, no buttons, no clips, no hooks and eyes, no fuss. It’s great for both summer and winter skirts.
We’ve made this one from the Echino Birdsong fabric in green. You could tone it down a bit for winter with long boots and a cardi, or liven it up in summer with a t-shirt and flat sandals. There’s a lot going in this and most of the Echino fabric prints, so I like to tone the rest of the outfit down with plain colours and shapes.

We sent off some of our Amy Butler Water Bouquet fabric to Inside Out magazine a while ago. And, here’s the result – a beautiful contemporary quilt all styled up!

How fabulous is this retro couch? Ana, one of our lovely customers sent in this photo. She found the couch for $10 at the local tip and had the cushions covered in Echino Scooter fabric. The couch works brilliantly as part of their playroom. Thanks for sharing these Ana!
