What to sew with Liberty London fabric - Laurens pattern suggestions!

[@PattymacMakes]

Every single one was beautiful!! Very nice fabric, and I appreciate the explanation of what each fabric type is good for. Pairing the fabric to the pattern recommendation was very helpful.

[@ladyplaza]

This video was SO amazing! I love Liberty prints and had no idea there were so many options. This was just so informative and helpful. Thank you!

[@debe8890]

Thank you for showing the different fabrics. It helps to know what the fabric acts like.

[@JC-sf2qm]

This video may be 3 years old but it was fun and helpful to hear about all the beautiful Liberty options ... thank you Lauren!

[@joannepowell8345]

Oh yes. Liberty is Devine. Thank you. Very informative and my cuppa tea. 🇦🇺 hugs Joanne from Townsville Queensland Australia

[@soniabutler6280]

I've always loved liberty fabrics, but hadn't appreciated the variety of weaves or compositions. You really inform and educate us, and I'm really grateful.

[@cumeada]

me too - so nostalgic, childhood memories of choosing my own party dress fabric in Liberty's Beautiful.

[@gaylehegarty9161]

This is such a useful video. Thank you so much. I know I will be watching this again for help when choosing fabrics.

[@margobhandari5309]

I loved this video. It has inspired me to use a beautiful piece of Tana lawn that I have been saving for years! Thank you!

[@5kristy71]

This was a very informative video. I love Liberty to. The patterns are great was well.

[@jimsqueenie]

Thank you, so much, Lauren for your great explanations of the fabric and showing us all what we can make with them. I have come to love Liberty fabrics.

[@triciakendrick2756]

Your videos are such a helpful service. Thank you

[@muhlenstedt]

Yes, such a good taste for fabrics!And I find you are a very lovely person.

[@maplelassuk]

You explain everything beautifully Lauren! My trouble is the modern patterns are not for my plus figure sadly, and I'm 64 so need appropriate ones😂. I just wish I could come in! Beautiful fabrics. My mother took me from an early age to downtown Toronto fabric shops but I got tired and bored and hot😂, so can't say I liked it!!!! She made everything we wore. I have never made a shirt, nor trousers..But watching you makes me want to try.

[@Sarah-gg6rm]

Try googling 'the curvy sewing collective' they may be able to suggest a pattern to suit you. There are patterns in larger sizes but you need to know where to look, otherwise the size ranges of the patterns in shops can be really off-putting!

[@lisah2208]

Elizabeth McKay - Cashmerette patterns are appropriate for all age groups: they are specifically designed for the curvier and plus size figure. Many of the patterns are very ‘classic’ designs, such as their shirts, t-shirts and wrap dresses. I’m sure you’d feel comfortable wearing their styles. I’m just on 50yo and are able to make well fitting garments for my figure from their patterns that don’t look like they were designed for teenagers. The patterns are also easy to follow with great instructions.

[@maplelassuk]

Lisa H thank you very much! I will have a look and appreciate the help, from Sarah too.

[@geraldinekay9833]

Thanks Lauren, found this very helpful.👍💕

[@wendyb7993]

[@carlahumphrey6258]

Thank you. Buying fabric online is hard. You have given us some good advice.

[@published1789]

Really good topic. Thank you, Lauren. Lots of people have this in their stash or hope to get some!

[@lorik5675]

Someday redo this with the big four patterns. I just feel happy at the mere mention of Liberty!.Thank you!

[@charlenejutras1595]

Great video! I struggle with pairing fabric to pattern, so this was really informative....beautiful fabrics!

[@ginaemmingham7582]

Went to visit the Liberty store in London yesterday to stroke the fabrics 😀 Your explanations of the different types was really good. Just need to save the pennies now

[@sewgatormomm]

This was such a helpful and informative video. Thank you so much! I looooove Liberty fabrics but didn’t know there were so many different types available.

[@vickifenlon6279]

You have the most beautiful fabrics!

[@juliadroy1179]

Love all of the fabrics.

[@india1422]

I made a dress for a wedding out of Tana Lawn. It’s beautiful. Of course the wedding was meant to be in May last years, so it’s still awaiting its debut

[@ollabarabolla]

many years ago, i had a pair of simple, elastic waist Liberty of London floral lawn ankle length summer cotton pants. they were very comfortable in the hot weather as well as beautiful. i would still be able to wear them today if i had not gained weight and they would be still fashionable.

[@arlenepiggot3982]

Lovely fabric I worked in shop that sold Liberty fabric about 25 years ago it was just heaven 😁😎

[@JaqueBampi]

Love this video so much! You answered all questions I had about Liberty fabrics!

[@onemercilessming1342]

I first heard of Liberty of London when I was a young teen. My mother, during WW II and for some years afterward, had a pen pal in London to whom she sent tinned foods--items that were difficult to obtain in England--during the war. He, in his turn, sent books to her. One book was entitled Uneasy Freehold by Dorothy Macardle. (The Uninvited was its title when published in the USA and then made into a slightly different story in the movie released in 1944.) When Pamela decides to make curtains for what used to be the original family's nursery, she decides on a fabric she's seen in Liberty's--a bright yellow print. I had to ask my mother what Liberty's was and she explained the shop to me. A few years later, I received some lovely print fabric from Liberty's as a gift. The fabric makes up into delightful little girls' dresses when a smocking insert is added to the bodice. Whenever I see Kate and William's daughter, Charlotte, wearing a smocked dress, I wonder if the fabric came from Liberty's and who is smocking the inserts that bring out the fabric's colors so well.

[@roseyposey78]

Such a helpful video! Thanks so much!!! Love love love liberty!!

[@michellepage6043]

Love this video. I’m very new to the liberty fabrics and the Indy patterns and this has been extremely informative since I would be ordering online living in the states. Nice to have an idea of what I’m buying thank you ! 💕

[@1950steele]

Michelle Page - check out “Stitchy Bee” website and her videos. I live in the US also, but shipping can be high. I recently ordered from Stitchy Bee.

[@janspenno2241]

Ooh that was a beautiful video. Didn’t realise you had the swimwear. I have just made the Friday pattern Vernazza and it’s lovely so would be great I. That fabric. I am a big fan of the toaster sweater and have made 4 of the one with the funnel neck. Bought some beautiful sweatshirt fabric but it didn’t work. Basically it didn’t have enough stretch. This was disappointing because the fabric is beautiful and I had made a beautiful job of the sewing. When I looked at the pattern, it does say it needs fabric with stretch! My sweatshirt fabric didn’t have enough. Needs 20% stretch

[@maureencullen1008]

I love liberty fabrics and the nostalgia it evokes. The prints and colours seem different from the 70's. Can you still purchase these fabrics prints or would the price be totally prohibitive.I know they have to evolve but I just loved their colours. This vlog was so detailed and interesting,I could look at and listen to you talking about liberty prints all day.

[@cathygibbs7246]

OMG I had no idea Liberty offered all these options. I haven't seen these in even the high end stores in NY or San Francisco. (I asked about Viyella, which sounds like your wool/cotton, at Britex in San Francisco and they had never heard of it). Thank you for the education :D

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

Beautiful fabrics

[@heidilecompte4198]

Would Tana Lawn be good for making pieced quilts?

[@pamelajohnson9810]
