Sunday Stash: Liberty
August 30, 2009
This is called “The Strawberry Thief”, a pattern originally by William Morris and now done in many colourways by Liberty. A very good friend’s mum very generously gave me this piece - she uses Liberty fabrics for collars on her polos for women (Kountry Blue) and it was the last little bit on the bolt. I was thinking it would make lovely owl wings, perhaps on a navy or midnight sock. This kind of pattern is not normally my cup of tea – I’m more a bold geometric pattern kinda girl, but the colours in this one caught my eye. Time to start stitching again methinks.

Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.
