Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Liberty Classic Metallics collection?

Liberty Classic Metallics reimagines some of Liberty Fabrics’ most iconic archive designs with a beautiful metallic finish. Printed on Liberty’s signature Tana Lawn® cotton, the collection brings together fourteen designs in a refined tonal palette, combining much-loved archive prints with original artworks created in the Liberty design studio. The subtle metallic detailing catches the light beautifully while retaining the softness, fine weave and exceptional print detail for which Tana Lawn® is renowned.

What does the metallic finish feel like to sew and wear?

Despite its shimmering finish, Classic Metallics retains the beautifully fine, silky-soft handle of Liberty Tana Lawn®. Lightweight, breathable and fluid, it drapes wonderfully for garments, while the metallic detailing catches the light as the fabric moves. It’s a lovely way to add subtle sparkle without sacrificing the softness and wearability of classic Tana Lawn®.

What can I make with Liberty Classic Metallics?

Classic Metallics is particularly lovely for projects where you want the fabric to make an impact. Think statement blouses and shirts, special dresses, skirts and beautiful accessories. The subtle metallic detailing also makes these fabrics wonderful for Christmas sewing, handmade gifts and projects designed for special occasions.

Is Liberty Classic Metallics a limited collection?

Classic Metallics is a special collection of designs rather than part of Liberty’s core Classics range. Individual prints and colourways may therefore only be available for a limited time and there’s no guarantee that a particular design will return. If you have a project in mind for a favourite print, it’s worth choosing it while it’s available.

How should I care for Liberty fabric with a metallic finish?

The metallic detailing deserves a little extra care to keep it looking its best. Always follow the specific care instructions supplied with your chosen fabric and take particular care when pressing, as excessive or direct heat may affect metallic finishes. We recommend testing your iron on a small offcut first and pressing from the reverse where appropriate.

How does Classics Metallics differ from Classic Liberty Prints?

Both collections celebrate Liberty’s extraordinary design archive and are printed on Tana Lawn® cotton. Classic Liberty Prints showcase enduring Liberty designs with a traditional printed finish, while Classics Metallics adds shimmering metallic detailing to selected designs. You get the same beautifully fine, soft Tana Lawn® base, but with an extra touch of sparkle.
