How to... Cut a Pattern with Liberty Craft Club

Learn to sew like a pro with our #LibertyCraftClub how-to tutorials. Start at the basics with how to cut a fabric pattern

By: Charlotte Olby

If learning a new craft is on your 2023 bucket list, then we recommend enrolling yourself in #LibertyCraftClub and starting your education with the basics: how to cut a fabric pattern. This step-by-step guide, shown using our fabled Kiki dungaree set pattern but applies to all patterns you may be working with - and crafted out of our Colombe Study Tana Lawn™ Cotton, £27.50, as design from Beauty and Chaos, Liberty Fabrics’ SS23 collection. Machine washable and durable enough for daily wear (yes, even for children’s overalls) it can be used to create everything from simple separates to spectacular statement pieces.

You’ve got your sewing pattern and chosen your iconic Liberty fabric, so before you start wielding the scissors to cut that fabric pattern, there are a few key things you may need to know. Let Liberty’s Alison Lewis, our Dress Fabrics expert, show you the way. So, what will you make?
