In books that come with patterns there is usually always a note that says that the patterns are copyrighted and can only be used for personal use, but really how unique are those patterns for an A-line skirt or pj pants or the best one: a little girls gathered skirt consisting of 2 rectangles of fabric.

Another part is paying for the Liberty name. I know the Mood fabric makers probably didn't dare use exact colors, but it also looks like they used less amount of dye for printing. It's probably not a big difference on one bolt or design, but if using the same dyes on different designs, it could. I'd add in labour costs, but I can see no country of manufacture on the Liberty site.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78486638353623871652014-05-09T05:20:00.219-04:002014-05-09T05:20:00.219-04:00Cette chemise est splendide!!

I noticed that the paisley print fabric in the mood fabrics link is on voile fabric. Voile fabric has a lighter weight and has a lower thread count than lawn fabric. The fabric that's on the etsy link is apparently lawn fabric. So there you go.

Th...The griege goods are likely of a lower quality. That's what happens with quilting cottons. The "same pattern" is sold both at a local quilt shop ($12/yd) and at Walmart ($3/yd) Part of it is that Walmart orders an entire boatload where the local shop can't, and part is that the mfctr used lower quality base fabric (griege goods) for the Walmart stuff to come in at the price point they contracted for. Same print, but not the same base fabric. You'd probably be able to tell the difference if you had the Liberty and your fabric right next to each other. And you'd likely really notice a difference in wearing after a few washings. (Like if you made the shirt fronts out of each one). Fading, pilling and dye quality can be issues. Hard to say how much of an issue though. <br /><br />Or you could simply have gotten a really good deal. :) Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-84125508666165458312014-05-09T00:43:38.550-04:002014-05-09T00:43:38.550-04:00Great shirt!
