Laowai

When I went to London I really wanted to go to the Liberty of London store. It seems like all the sewing blogs that I read rave about Liberty fabric. They have a line of lovely cotton lawn with the most pretty, delicate, flowery patterns. I bought a couple yards plus a pack of remnants and it was so fun to really be able to go to the old iconic store. It was one of the highlights of my trip to London.

Here’s the store from the outside:

Here’s some of my fabric waiting to be sewin up into something…

I couldn’t wait to use some of the fabric I bought and I wanted to do one last bit of sewing before my sewing machine gets packed up so I made a dress for Claire. I used the same pattern as her favorite dress and I put on two pockets, but she’s still not in love with it. Oh well – maybe she will surprise me and love it one day soon.
