For me, the ultimate luxury piece of fabric would be this: Liberty Tana Lawn. This one is called Margaret Annie. When I do my Internet ‘window’ shopping on Etsy, I like to browse images of Liberty prints. Recently I purchased a pretty purse, which is lined with vintage Liberty. Score!

This fabric inspires me to doodle and draw and colour on a thick piece of paper. I feel inspired to get out my drawing pens and old Derwent pencils and spend a few evenings at my desk in my nook, filling a page with colour.

But I digress…

This fabric reminds me of my grandmother, who, sadly, passed away in April. Nana wore elegant shirt dresses of similar fabric prints: delicate florals in an array of colours. I love pinks and blues together and this is just so pretty. I love the reds and greens in the design as well. I like florals!

If I ever had such a piece of fabric, I would like to sew myself a vintage-style shirt dress and go out wearing a little fascinator, white gloves and my wedding shoes. I think I would feel very pretty in such an outfit.

I’d need to buy a new bag though.
