Fabric from Liberty London – Unboxing
Don't you sometimes have moments in your everyday life where you get the feeling that you should treat yourself to something special? I certainly do occasionally. Especially when I've been working a lot. And what do you reward yourself with as a true sewing addict? Obviously, with a special little piece of fabric. This time from Liberty of London. As the great Oscar Wilde said: "I can resist everything except temptation!" That's exactly how I feel about fabrics. That shouldn't be a secret by now. However, I am cautious and always factor in that a fabric that looks great on the internet could turn out to be a bitter disappointment. Because, for example, the workmanship is poor, the colors look completely different than in the shop, or because it doesn't sew, wash, or iron well. Especially when I'm shelling out significantly more money than usual (although "usual" can also fluctuate - you have to dig deeper into your pockets for a beautiful Westfalen or Echino fabric than for a fabric at the fabric market, where I also love to shop!), I want to be sure that the quality is right. This consideration was reason enough to finally order fabrics from Liberty of London. At first only in small cuts; it could have been that I was disappointed. But what am I saying? Let's unpack the parcel together!
The pretty sewing thread was free.
I think all the fabrics are wonderful! The colors are quite delicate and subtle. In terms of feel, the cotton fabrics are rather cool and somewhat thinner. Certainly well suited for precious blouses, kimono jackets, and tops. I also imagine skirts would be simply wonderful made from this fabric. Or gorgeous little pouches and bags... Until now, I had only ever admired Liberty of London fabrics from afar because I thought that my sewing skills weren't mature enough for such treasures. A certain error rate has to be factored in, especially since I'm not a trained seamstress.
So, with an aching heart and a wounded look, I gazed at the magnificent fabrics on DaWanda and Purl Soho and didn't dare to put a little piece of fabric in my shopping cart. Now that I've finally been able to touch (look at, sniff) the delicate (I almost want to write: delicious!) Liberty fabrics, I'm sure that I will treat myself to this luxury (is it really one?) more often in the future. Because: Is it really luxury if it makes me this happy?! :)
Happy simple sewing, yours, Sabine
