Hello, I'm Alice
I’ve always loved playing with fabrics, finding particular joy in combining colours. Finding a snippet of Liberty amongst my grandmother’s quilting stash of worn-out dresses and vintage fabrics was always a highlight and, from there, my passion for Liberty fabrics grew.
I’ve been running my business for over 10 years and love spending time designing sewing patterns and kits. Many of my kits are stocked in the iconic Liberty of London store which is always so exciting when I visit. One of my favourite things to do is to design Liberty kits – I simply adore getting lost in both design and Liberty fabric choosing. I love the fact that my kits are being made across the globe – sharing that Liberty love. Alice xoxo
