Last night in class a student told me she never heard of
Liberty of London until taking my class. Well I am a fan. Liberty of London is beautiful and cool, well made and obtainable. Obtainable is key because as a consumer you can't always buy quality fabric by the yard. Only 3 stores in NYC sell it. Another student asked, is it difficult to sew with. This is a good question because Liberty feels like silk, also it has a similar weight. Liberty is 100% cotton and yes it is easy to sew with, just use a size 8 or 9 needle. The last quality I appreciate much with Liberty, it is made in England. It is difficult these days to buy something not made in Asia. When you buy Liberty you are buying from a company that is paying fair wages. Check out this cool
video of the print facility.
Last summer I launched a new product in my
etsy shop and on my
website, Liberty Bandanna Scarves. What's a bandanna scarf? You can wear it in your hair or as a scarf. Great for temperamental weather.
This spring I have introduced Pocket Squares (which also can be used as a hankie, ladies). There are now a few listed in my etsy shop but more are to come!

Since this is new product I am always looking for feed back. What do you think? Do you like the prints I have chosen? Would you use this as a pocket square or hankie?
