Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Classic Liberty Prints collection?

The Classic Liberty Prints collection celebrates some of Liberty Fabrics' most iconic and enduring designs. Established in 1979, the Classics collection brings together much-loved archive prints that have become synonymous with Liberty, from intricate florals and paisleys to Art Nouveau-inspired motifs and beautifully detailed botanical designs. Printed on Liberty Tana Lawn® cotton, these favourites are regularly refreshed in new colourways while retaining the character that has made them so recognisable.

Are Classic Liberty Prints limited edition?

The designs themselves are enduring Liberty archive favourites, with many having been in production in different forms and colourways for decades. However, individual colourways can change from one collection to the next and may not always be repeated. If you've fallen for a particular colourway, it's worth choosing it while it's available.

What can I make with Classic Liberty Prints?

Classic Liberty Prints are wonderfully versatile and work beautifully for dressmaking, accessories, patchwork, quilting and special sewing projects. Tana Lawn® has a fine, smooth handle and beautiful drape, making it particularly lovely for dresses, blouses, shirts, skirts and lightweight garments. The intricate scale and detail of many Classic prints also make them ideal for smaller projects where you can really appreciate the design.

Are Classic Liberty Fabrics suitable for beginners?

Yes. Liberty Tana Lawn® is a lovely fabric to sew with, including for less experienced sewists. Despite its exceptionally fine, lightweight feel, the cotton is stable, cuts accurately and presses beautifully. If you're beginning your dressmaking journey, a simple blouse, top or skirt is a wonderful way to let a favourite Liberty print do the talking.

How are Classic Liberty Prints different from Liberty's seasonal collections?

Liberty's seasonal collections introduce new stories, artworks and colour palettes, often drawing inspiration from a particular theme. Classic Liberty Prints instead celebrate the enduring archive designs that have become part of Liberty's design heritage. If you love instantly recognisable Liberty florals, botanicals and intricate heritage patterns, the Classics collection is a wonderful place to explore.

Do you offer free UK delivery on Classic Liberty fabric?

Yes. We offer free UK delivery on orders over a certain value, whether you're ordering Classic Liberty Tana Lawn® by the metre or adding coordinating patterns, threads and sewing supplies to your order.
