Pick your Liberty print

Vintage style handmade Liberty print children's clothes
for girls & boys from 3 months to 9 years

Choose your style, then pick your Liberty print and fabric

Liberty Tana Lawn is a silky-soft but durable cotton with a fine thread-count, cool in summer & perfect winter-wear layered over T-shirts & tights or under cardies.
V&A Liberty cotton is a slightly weightier cotton than Tana Lawn but still beautifully soft.  The collection was designed to celebrate the Quilts 1700-2010 exhibition.  Kingly Cord is a fine baby cord which drapes beautifully with a soft & snug nap. City Poplin is a hard-wearing, heavier-weight cotton with a slight stretch.  Note that cord & poplin are not suitable for all my designs. 

I only stock a limited quantity of each print.  Many are limited editions.  For large orders or to reserve prints for special occasions, please email or phone me.

Don't see a print you like?  Or love a Liberty print I don't stock?
I'm happy for you to order direct from Liberty of London (£21 per metre) or try Shaukat (approx £15-17 a metre) and post fabric to me.  As a rule of thumb my design/dress-making fee is £10 less that my website prices for dresses and £5 less for other designs.  I can advise on lengths to buy.  Just email or phone.

History of Liberty of London

Soon after opening on Regent Street, London, in 1875, Arthur Liberty printed the first Liberty fabrics.  By the 1890s Liberty Art Fabrics were a byword for the best 'avant garde' textile design.  With new and classic designs added each season, the rich heritage of Liberty print continues.

History of lawn cotton

Lawn cotton is a fine linen cloth used for clerical garments woven in Laon, northern France.  This fine sheer cloth is now woven in cotton and although crisper than voile is not as crisp as organdie.  There are many types of lawn including Indian lawn, Victoria lawn, Persian lawn, Egyptian lawn and bishop's lawn.  Liberty of London made famous their Tana lawn which began manufacture in the 1920s.  Tana lawn is named after Lake Tana in Sudan where the raw cotton was grown.  (Source, The Worshipful Company of Weavers).
