Do you ever stalk the mail man or the UPS guy (lady)? I do. I love getting packages, especially when they are filled with pretty things. I had been doing really well about not adding much fabric to what I already have but… Liberty gets me! It does. And then I’m browsing the J&V site, and one...
Today I’m showing off my latest Michelle, My Belle dress. This one is a bit different than the other three I’ve made. I modified this version to have high neck and low back. And I’m sort of obsessed! The high neck modification was done by adding 2 1/2″ to the top of the neckline, and...

HI Meredith! I cannot wait to see what you do with all these Lovelies, but especially the Atelier Brunett Birds! I really love that print and want to make a top too out of that and really want to make some tops from the new Liberty, but what tops best show the beauty of these fabrics that aren’t button downs? I just don’t wear button downs frequently enough to use such precious fabric. I wish I had a go to top style that I could make over and over again in Liberty! Do you have any simple top styles you suggest?
I just bought the circle scarf pattern with the Liberty Oxford C from Alice Caroline Supply on Etsy and can’t wait to wear that bright spring like print in the dead of Vermont winter!
Thanks so much for all your beautiful work and for sharing it, such an inspiration!

What a kind comment, Ceileigh! You know, I’ve been on the hunt for the PERFECT top pattern that’s not a button down. Something feminine that will work well with wovens so I can make a bajillion of them in Liberty and some other favorites. I haven’t stumbled on it yet, but in the coming weeks I’m going to be trying out a few different tops. I will definitely be posting here, so check back. Hopefully I’ll find a good one that we can both use! :)
Where did you find Liberty swim fabric?? I love the idea of making my own swim suit! Also, those phone cases are gorgeous!
I got it from fabric.com! They actually have several swimsuit fabrics available from Liberty of London. And the great thing is, you can squeeze a few swimsuits out of a yard depending on the styles you choose to make. I figure its WAY cheaper than buying swimwear, which I absolutely hate doing.
