Do have a favorite fabric line? I have a serious love affair with (ok most fabrics) but especially Liberty of London prints.
Their fabric designs have such great style – the colors are pretty and they have so many little florals that I just adore.
The feel of the fabric is just amazing too – I mean that Lawn? It’s so soft and drapes so pretty!
And no – this isn’t an ad post – I just am having a little love affair moment here.
One of my no-so-favorite things about Liberty fabrics is the price though. Are they woven with gold? Some rare gem? This is a mystery to me. It doesn’t actually stop my from buying it – it just makes me tend to hoard it. And use them in tiny little projects. And save Every. Little. Scrap.
Confession: I even have a little mason jar of super tiny Liberty scraps. You never know when you’re going to need just a little bit for an applique or something!
A few months ago I started a Liberty Love Pinterest board and I’ve been collecting ideas of cute projects to make with Liberty prints. I know you can use Liberty for any tutorial – and vice versa for these cute projects, but I love seeing all the inspiration in these projects. Not to mention all the gorgeous prints they used!
So I’ve collected up some of my favorites to share with you – in case you have a favorite fabric collection (anybody with me?) that you’ve been collecting! Or maybe like me, you have a little love affair with Liberty? :)

Do you have a favorite fabric line? I’d love to know what it is!
I was actually in the Liberty of London shop on Regent Street in London last week. I was blown away by their beautiful and unique fabric area. The prices also blew me away, what with the higher price to begin with. And on top of that the money lost when paying with pounds versus American dollars. But that aside. I was drooling big time and am sorry I didn’t splurge a little. If they had had separately priced fat quarters, or the closest equivalent in meter measurement, I would have purchased some. In the end,I bought the cutest little mouse inclusion that I will treasure. I do have a small half-hour piece of their fabric purchased last year in a shop in Dublin….I guess I will get that out and make something cute. I will definitely save and purchase some Libertyfabric next year when we hopefully get back to London!
Liberty of London fabric is so pretty. I have not been able to part with the money for it yet. It is some pricey stuff. Maybe I could buy just enough to make those cute little heart sachets. I would love for you to link up at the Stitch It, Blog It, Share It Link Party going on now at behindtheseamssewing.com.

I bought Liberty of London fabric last week (July 22,2015) in Oxford, UK. I visited a “Wednesday market” very close to “the covered market”. Strolling around looking for a quick bite to eat, I encountered a “stall” with loads of L of L bolts of all kinds of the fabric. I bought one meter of silk. I am planning to make a square scarf with it. I was checking your post for instructions for making a “rolled” edge. As a novice I hope I can do the L of L fabric justice. Thanks for this post.
Beautiful fabri!
