The smallest cut we offer for Tana Lawn® off the bolt is a quarter yard (or a fat quarter).
A Fat Quarter is the same amount of fabric as a normal quarter yard cut but has different dimensions. A normal (or long) quarter yard cut is 9” x 52” and a fat quarter cut is 18” x 26.”
A Fat 8th is half of a fat quarter. It measures approximately 18” x 13.”
A Fat 16th is half of a fat 8th. It measures approximately 9” x 13.”

Shortly after opening on Regent Street London in 1875, Arthur Liberty became renowned for his silks. By the 1890s Liberty Fabrics was a byword for the very best of avant-garde textile design. Today, every bolt of Liberty fabric is the product of a bespoke production process: hand drawn or painted by the in-house design team in London, Soho. Transformed onto fabric at Liberty’s own Italian printing mill, near Lake Como. Liberty Fabrics are created by skilled technicians who oversee the production of over 300 different designs every year.
A famous masterpiece of fabric technology, Tana Lawn® is fine, cool, and durable with a silk-like feel.
Made from specially selected ultra-fine, long staple Egyptian cotton, its bespoke process has been fine-tuned by Liberty Fabrics experts over the last 100 years. The qualities of the weave provide a brilliant base material on which to print Liberty’s lustrous textile designs. Today, Tana Lawn® continually evolves as Liberty Fabrics works with new technologies and processes to ensure it maintains its reputation as the best printed cotton available.
