Lawn cloth or lawn is a plain weave textile, originally of linen, but now chiefly cotton. Lawn is designed using fine, high count yarns, which results in a silky, untextured feel. The fabric is made using either combed or carded yarns.
Uses: Quilting, dresses, blouses, nightwear, lingerie, curtains, collar cuffs, shirting, infant wear, handkerchiefs, pillowcase trim, soft home furnishings - cushions, table runners, etc., and other craft.
(See more detailed information about Liberty fabrics below)

For help to match up with our listed plain solid fabrics or other prints, please don't hesitate to ask.
NB: One of the drawbacks of shopping online is that every computer monitor is different, and therefore the colour you see on your screen may not be a true representation of the actual colour. Therefore, the fabric you receive may be a slightly different colour from what you expected. I have no control over this, and therefore, within reason, I do accept immediate returns. (Buyer to pay return postage).
If you have any questions about this fabric, please contact me before you buy.

ABOUT LIBERTY OF LONDON TANA LAWN
Since its foundation in 1875 by Arthur Lansenby Liberty, Liberty of London’s store, its fabrics, fashion, carpets, furniture & other products have been synonymous with luxury & great design
Liberty of London's 100% Cotton Tana Lawn is one of the finest, most exclusive, versatile, and collectable fabrics in the World.
Many Liberty Collections are released only once in Spring and Autumn, so if you see something you like it is wise to pounce on it whilst it is still available.
The extremely fine, tight weave, allows the fabric to take a more finely detailed print than most other cotton fabrics.
With its light weight, silky feel and super fine, weave, this fine lawn is soft and durable and is sometimes confused with silk.
Tana Lawn is perfect for summer clothes, shirts, blouses, dresses, nightdresses, children's shirts and dresses, and baby clothes. (Beautiful for smocking).
Garments made from Tana Lawn look fabulous whether worn with jeans or slacks, or dressed up with accessories for more elegant and formal occasions.
BUT....this beautiful fabric is not restricted to clothing! It is a wonderful quilting/patchwork fabric and also fantastic when used for craft, personal items and homewares.
Liberty of London's Tana Lawn is considered to be the Rolls Royce of cotton fabric, and it is therefore priced accordingly.
