Learn more about our range of floral Tana Lawn cottons by Liberty Fabrics!

We are dedicating today’s post to the selection of magnificent Tana Lawn fabrics that we have available for you in our kawaii shop!  If you take a look at these gorgeous fabrics, using the link above or checking the images included below, you will see that all of them feature stunning floral prints of exquisite taste and exceptional colors.  You could say that this type of design is the hallmark of the brand when talking about Liberty Fabrics, the famous British textile firm that makes Tana Lawn cottons.  That’s probably why we like them so much!  

Besides vintage floral designs, the extraordinary quality of the material used is the other defining element adding to their tremendous popularity.  Originally, the fibers used for Tana Lawn fabrics were discovered in the 1920’s by a savvy Liberty buyer, W. Hayes Dorell, near Lake Tana in Ethiopia (which was the inspiration for the name of the fabrics). The raw cotton fiber material now used is carefully selected, and goes through a complex process of textile transformation before becoming the lustrous fabric known worldwide as Tana Lawn.  Its preparation includes enhancing the absorption of dyes, improving handle and luster, providing stability to the fabric finish etc.

Finally, a soft, light, durable and breathable fabric that feels silky to the touch and hangs fabulously is achieved.  Tana Lawn fabrics are easy to sew and even easier to wear!  Thanks to these wonderful qualities of the material, to the artistic excellence of Liberty prints, and their carefully perfected and demanding process of creation of each fabric, the Tana Lawn cottons truly are a gift to our senses.  Have you ever worked with these fabrics?  Let us know!
