A Long Overdue Fabric Haul! 

For your first jersey, what about the oversized crop hack of the Jackson that Helen’s Closet posted recently? Or use the same principle with any t-shirt pattern. Love the Liberty lawns and I’ll be checking out what everyone else suggests!

I think the spacey telescope blue cotton would make an awesome Zadie jumpsuit!

i have soooo many fabrics that I am saving for THAT DRESS (which has yet to be found or sewn). what dungarees would you have sewn with that black denim? I loooove that fabric!!! when you showed the fabric with the white background that you bought as a treat, I thought PJs. I use all my fun prints for PJs these days. and the women in space one: a lovely long and wide morning gown, imagine, in a sateen! good to have you back btw

Beautiful Liberty fabric

Loved catching up with you!

Drooling at your fabric collection!! Your floral Liberty fabric would be beautiful as an oversized shirt like the Paper Theory Olya. Also makes for easy discreet breast feeding!

Your striped, very light fabric I thought might be really useful as an oversized shirt & wouldn’t matter if you wore t/shirts underneath. The white fabric would be great as a blouse or loose top. Love the ideas of the trousers. Your certainly not the only one holding onto certain fabrics - I do that but basically because my confidence in my sewing has vanished. Hopefully will come back soon. Good luck.❤

Hi Laura! I'm Dylan, we used to live in the same halls at uni, I used to follow your instagram when you started out sewing and dropped off using it ages ago. In the past couple years I've really got into sewing and you just popped into my recommendations! So good to see you around, hope you're doing well!

My favourite thing to make with Tana Lawn is shirts and tops. Smaller pieces make a great TATB Charlie, with a contrasting yoke and cuffs. Great for warm weather. For the very beautiful first fabric, what about a tunic? Great to wear over leggings or trousers and wouldn't break up the pattern. Or for nursing, an oversized shirt that can be worn on its own in summer or layered in cooler seasons. The Naya Tee would work well with your first fabric. I don't think the zero waist pattern would work with your spotty denim - it's too structured for all those pleats. I think the modal rayon would be best as a simple dress and the cream one would be a lovely Sycamore. The voile is great and I think will make a fab skirt. Happy sewing! 😊

Maybe you could sew tropical shirts for you and your son in your Liberty animal fabric . I know you will have fabric left ,but maybe you could make 2 different sizes for him(he grows) ? For your own canvas fabric i would vote for a jacket.

Closet Core has a free t-shirt pattern that is boxy and cropped for your first fabric.

Some lovely fabrics there, I can’t wait to see what you make up. Re the black/white stripe - what about the Wildflower Coquelicot skirt? I know you’ve made the circle skirt version (which I think will look good)but I know they also do the gathered waist version and as it’s adjustable it will work for for you over the coming year(s)…..?

Hi Laura, so far I have only used Liberty for Melilot shirts. They don’t need drape and I can get them out of a small amount. Maybe you could get 2 shirts out of your bigger pieces? For your husband or your son? Or a shirt for you and sleep wear shorts? That way you would enjoy the fabric very often. Good luck with all your plans.

Your liberty print looks like a Washi/Trillium Dress to me. :)
