Liberty 2010

I have been interested in working with an authentic Liberty print for some time. I ordered this fabric from EOS and if you have not worked with a Liberty print
( and I am assuming most good quality lawn) it was like working with butter. Drape, fluid, beautiful fabric.

Now, for the print.

This is my first and last Liberty for this season. I love black, and this fabric really was out of the box, but a little bit of it goes a lonnngggg way. A straight skirt might have suited the print better, but I really want to wear it with my friend Black, and very casual and to heck with it, a little swing for the spring....ha ha.

I used a basic pattern block, gathered skirt, above the knee, lined with bemberg. I have some fabric left over and offered it to my girls, which based on one reaction........"would look great as a vintage tea pot". Oh well. I like it.

  8. You should like it! It's a beautiful skirt! I'm jealous though because my Liberty fabric from EOS is just sittin and will probably sit until June or July.

  9. I love it! Especially paired with the black; it takes the edge off its sweetness. Oh, and Liberty is so wonderful (and entirely too expensive for me...)!
