I love this new European print with the big bold flowers on the yellow background. I can see Bonnie Blue's Hallie with the floral as the top and ruffle on the pants made from either the teeny tiny satin pique in Chocolate or in FF-aqua pique. Either coordinates well with it.
This is another new European print. The red floral with just a touch of pink has orange centers. It coordinates well with the strawberry and red pompom fringe as well as the orange rickrack. This would be adorable as a Children's Corner Becky or Primrose Lane's Pammy's Playclothes with red or orange coordinating shorts.
This is one of the newest Liberty prints, Elysian. This print will be great for that special fall dress such as a smocked Bessie or Marilyn from Children's Corner with a pretty embroidered linen or batiste collar with ivory French lace edging. The Elizabethan blue button is the perfect match for this fabric... the button even looks like the flowers.
Elysian may also be paired with our aqua pique for a more casual pants outfit for early fall, such as Children's Corner Lettie or a Sara's Skort outfit.
Liberty "Pheobe" would be absolutely adorable just as a smocked bishop with a little ecru tatting for the sleeve or for the older little girl a simple smocked yoke dress is all this print needs to be a beautiful garment for your little girl.
Edenham has always been one of our favorite Liberty prints and we especially liked the color wave in this one. Not only would this be beautiful as a smocked dress, but it can be paired with the aqua pique for a more casual top and pants or top and skirt outfit such as Children's Corner Gigi top and pants or with a Sara's Skort.
We received 4 new bold print European fabrics this week and we can just picture how adorable Children's Corner Lillian would be made up in these prints. And this wonderful red and strawberry pompom trim we found at market is the perfect trim to compliment these two pieces. Or Children's Corner Becky would be cute made up in this bold print with our new Victoria Voile Stripe as the coordinate. These prints make me wish summer would hurry up and get here.
This picture shows more of our new European fabrics along with Children's Corner Lillian. These beautiful new floral prints can be found on the Floral page.
Ainsley, pictured here, is an adorable blouse that features gathered front and backs that are pulled in at the waist with a narrow topstitched waistband. It has both short sleeves with a ruffle or long sleeves with a band. The pattern also has an a-line skirt with side vents and an elastic casing.

Macy, is a dress or blouse that has a cross-over front fastened on each side with narrow bias tubes tied in bows. This would be adorable made up in any of the printed lawns as a dress or blouse paired with pants or Ansley skirt.

These are two of the new lawns from Heirloom Imports, Britney Blue and Britney Pink. Both coordinate well with FF-lime microcheck. Either would make up adorable as Children's Corner Frannie or Frannie Baby with the gingham piping, ties, and bloomers. For a more dressy approach, either would smock up beautiful as a bishop or Children's Corner Bessie or Maggie.
The yellow microcheck paired with HI-Celeste Pink is a perfect coordinate. It can be a casual top and shorts or use the microcheck for piping of a bishop or yoke dress.
We have three new wonderful stripes from Heirloom Imports and we think HI-Lime coordinates well with the new HI-Lacie floral print. I can envision Children's Corner Paulie or Lucy with the stripe as the coordinating piping, ruffles, and sash for a quick and easy spring and summer outfit.
We found this wonderful piece of Peach Bearlin while at Market in Birmingham. We envision a yoke dress such as Children's Corner Margaret with a smocked collar. We choose the smocking plate "Rainbow Hearts" and the peach and ecru striped ribbon to use as a sash. The colors for the smocking were pulled from the colors in the ribbon. If you haven't planned your Easter dress yet or just need another spring dress for your little girls wardrobe this would be a beautiful addition.
It's time to start thinking about some spring and summer sewing and these next two new pieces would be perfect together or by themselves. The new wide Pima cotton blue and green stripe would be perfect for a Children's Corner Sandy for a special little fellow with a white broadcloth collar piped in cornflower blue petite piping and paired with one of these novelty buttons, this would make up a cute and quick outfit, you might even need to do more than one!
Another option for the little princess in your life would be to combine the stripe with the new Tiffany #25 print for a quick Children's Corner Paulie or Bonnie Blue's Hallie. You could use the cornflower piping or use the stripe as your piping.
This new Liberty, Dominic's Sketch Book Pastel, would make a really retro looking Children's Corner Abbie combined with either the Dark Raspberry or Slicker Yellow Corduroy for the pants. Raspberry or Slicker Petite Piping and the Antique Etched Button coordinate well for this cool summer outfit.
Another new retro looking Liberty print, Jane's Jungle Aqua, would make a cute summer outfit. We thought use Children's Corner Louise, shortened to above the knee as a top and pair with either lime or aqua line pique capri pants for a COOL summer outfit.
Liberty Richard Brown would make an adorable Lettie top piped in either the light aqua or seafoam. Pair it with the milk chocolate corduroy for the pants and your little girl will have the perfect outfit for back to school or fall.
This new Fabric Finders print FF-395 looks terrific with our light lime Sea Island stripe and a bright pink piping.
