Patterns for Liberty of London I can't decide what to make
Kim12469 Beginner MT USA Member since 3/27/08 Posts: 2081	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/22/11 12:53 PM I bought two pieces of LOL Tana Lawn from Fabric.com and it's taunting me!!! I am so lost as to what to make from it. I love dresses but I only bought 2 yards of each so they would have to be simple or able to use some solid color accents. I'm open to all suggestions except fitted shirts. They don't work on me. What did you make with your LOL??? Or plan to make? Just looking for some inspiration. These are the two prints I bought eta pictures -- Edited on 6/22/11 12:56 PM -- ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

In fact, your first photo was my "runner-up" print. I love it!! I'm kind of stuck, too. I have it...NOW what?? I'm wondering if a tunic-y top would work for these? I have a couple of cute BWOF ones tagged for general purposes. I'll have to get a pic. At least one has a pleated bodice yoke...I'm wondering if this would work for the LOL? Off to get my notepad and pen.... Eve ------ People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it - Chinese proverb

I'm leaning towards a skirt for one of them, maybe the peacock one. Maybe this in View E S2257 And maybe a simple dress for the other one. Burda does have some nice blousey tunics that would work. I need to go peruse them. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

I also think the Colette ginger skirt would look very cute in that. For a light blouse, how about Sewaholic's Pendrell?

I named my album Liberty Love with the description: Quote: Liberty, O Liberty, wherefore art thou $40 a yard!?!? Seriously now, I think it has to be something simplistic, the print is so rich and full that details would be lost. What do you think of V1236? No suggestiongs as such but rather guidelines: clean lines, at the most pintucks or gathers, the fabric is definitely the diva on center stage!!! -- Edited on 6/22/11 1:53 PM -- ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

Kim12469 Beginner MT USA Member since 3/27/08 Posts: 2081	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/22/11 2:16 PM It's only $28 still for a short time on Fabric.com and if you have a coupon, even better. That's the only reason I bought it. I just made and reviewed Vogue 1236. It's a great pattern but I don't love it enough to use the LOL fabric I keep look at this V8727 View D. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

I looked in the online archives for this issue, but only found them back to 2006 on the French site.

Well, I just blew my budget on something sewing-related or I would buy some LOL if I could (a lot of websites aren't int'l buyer friendly). But I am crazy about that Vogue and I vote yes! ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

Vibekeinyork Intermediate Member since 7/11/06 Posts: 838	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/22/11 4:54 PM Definitely the Vogue dress. Perfect for it. Or perhaps Vogue dress for the peacock print and boho tunic for the other one. (Perhaps Hot Patterns peasant tunic or something similar, there are hundreds of patterns.) Add. The 1236, not the other one wich has too many seamlines for that glorious print. -- Edited on 6/22/11 4:56 PM --
