Liberty Dress


Just getting through that mighty stash of Liberty fabric that I purchased in Lancaster last autumn. Standfast & Barracks print Liberty fabric at their factory and have an outlet shop. 

A cool summer dress in Liberty Tana Lawn fabric (Douglas Stripe Blue). We've had a mini heatwave this week in Wales!!!


Angel sleeves and a tie back



I've searched and searched for a pattern,but to no avail, so made this one up as I went along. 





I'll be making a few more of these I think...
