More Liberty
Thursday, May 12, 2011
Townmouse will be at Mathilda's Market this Sunday at the Malvern Town Hall. In preparation I'm trimming some box pleat skirts with Liberty scraps. The skirts are trimmed in either a mixture of my favourite blue Liberty fabrics or pink.
Adelaide has been wearing a blue one of late and she's rather fond of it.
The fabric folder which holds my Liberty offcuts had grown to two.
In addition to a storage box that holds larger remnants.
So I needed to do something with all that fabric. It felt good to reduce the amount I'm storing for a change. The two folders are now not bulging with scraps. It's rather cleansing. I must do more of it.
Kirsty from Kootoyoo has done something wonderful. She's created a dedicated site for Our Creative Spaces, where you can share your link to your creative space. Thanks Kirsty.
so pretty!

What fabric are the `actual` skirts?- Just so gorgeous

Neat and tidy ! That's what I should do with all the remnants I have ... or I should sew skirts like yours for my Adélaïde.

How gorgeous, Kristine. You might like to look at how I've been using my Liberty fabric lately (http://www.lifeonplanetbaby.com/2011/04/distracting-myself-by-creating-some.html). Would you mind sharing where you buy yours? It's hard to find in Hobart so I've had to buy it via eBay UK. J x

I'm glad to see someone actually using her Liberty fabrics! I've had some of them for 30 years, and I'm still reluctant to cut into them! Here is a peak in my collection:

Lovely liberty scraps. That is a great way of using them, the skirts look very sweet.
All the best for the market on Sunday!

Mmmm. The skirt looks scrumptious! I'm sure they will all be snapped up very quickly. :)
What a great organisational idea!
