New Liberty Print Fabric Necklaces

Hippystitch Liberty Print Fabric Necklaces

 

I'm sure you all know by now that I can't resist a Liberty print and while I was in London recently I chose five new prints to try out.  Usually I only buy Tana Lawn but this time I decided to try out some cotton poplin too.  These are the prints I chose in Tana Lawn...

and cotton poplin...

Liberty Prints Ikat Night and Peony Promenade (centre) in Cotton Poplin

You can see I liked Ikat Night so much I chose two colourways - blue and green!  I've been wearing the green Ikat Night necklace to try it out and am very pleased with it!

I am rather fond of Liberty fabrics so it's always a pleasure to go and choose some for my fabric necklaces.  Recently I bought a particularly nice selection and have enjoyed making them up.  Geography was always my favourite subject so I particularly like the map fabrics...

You can see from the top photo that they are all now made up into necklaces.  You can wear them choker length or longer depending on how you tie them.  They are all made from Tana Lawn cotton so they're lovely and soft against your skin.  You can even carefully handwash them when you need to...

New Liberty Print Necklaces Available in my Folksy Shop

Liberty Print Fabric Necklaces

 

This is just to let you know that I've restocked my Folksy shop with some new Liberty print fabric necklaces.  You can find them here.  

Liberty fabrics

And here's a closer look at the fabrics I've used.  There's traditional, geometric, floral, bold, graphic, whimsical, bright - in fact something for everyone!  There's a bit more detail about the prints over on Folksy.  I was particularly pleased to find the Pattern Map fabric below.  Who doesn't love a nice map - particularly one illustrated like this.

Pattern Map Fabric and Necklaces

All the necklaces are made with Tana Lawn which is a beautiful soft cotton that feels great against the skin.  You can tie the necklaces with a bow or a knot and vary the length from choker to mid chest depending on what you're wearing.  They can even be carefully handwashed.  What's not to love!

Linda Wormald's Garden Gallery, York

Linda Wormald & her Garden Gallery

Towards the end of 2021 I discovered a little gem of a gallery in York.  It's called the Garden Gallery and it's run by a very talented lady called Linda Wormald.  Linda is a contemporary artist who specialises in landscapes and seascapes inspired by North Yorkshire & Scotland.  Her paintings, in acrylics and oils on canvas, are a delight of colour and texture.

The Garden Gallery

In her gallery, as well as Linda's own art, you will find a treasure trove of work by local artists and makers.  In fact, a number of my friends received Christmas presents that I found there.

Anyway there are two pieces of good news.  The first is that the gallery reopens for spring on Thurday 10 March 2022.  And the second is that you'll be able to buy my work there too!

Hippystitch Flower Button Bracelets

A selection of Hippystitch Button Brooches

You'll be able to find a selection of my fabric necklaces, button bracelets and brooches.  And if you need something to carry your purchases away, there'll also be some of my screen printed bike bags!

Hippystitch Screen Printed Bike Bag

Linda Wormald's Garden Gallery reopens on Thursday 10 March 2022 and can be found at 3 Windmill Lane, York, YO10 3LG.  It is open from Thursday to Saturday from 10.30am until 4pm.  Go see!

If you happen to be a member at York's David Lloyd club, it's just a short walk from the carpark and you can combine it with some exercise.

THE GARDEN GALLERY IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL LATER IN THE YEAR
