Even though it probably seems only a few days since the kids broke up from school it won't be long before September arrives and the new term begins again. Inevitably you are going to need to buy new uniform for the beginning of term due to the kids having a growth spurt during the summer or maybe even going to a new school with a different coloured uniform. Here at Calico Laine we have the perfect fabric for you if you want to make some of your children's school uniform. Our Bi-Stretch material is ideal for making children's skirts and trousers and with a large range of colours you are bound to find a colour to match your child's school colours. At £3.79 per metre and 150cm wide, Bi-Stretch is great value for money which is just what you need when making items for children. Made from 100% polyester it is hard wearing and fully washable, ideal for when the kids come home with stains from a day at school. It has a 'give' to it across the bias of the fabric making it comfortable to wear and as Bi-Stretch does not crease easily either it will save you lots of time when it comes to ironing the school uniforms! As well as fabric, we also have haberdashery items that can finish off your garments. Our 4mm Adjustable Hook and Eye fasteners can be used on both skirts and trousers and are perfect for growing children. We stock a good range of Prym fasteners including hook and bar fasteners which can also be used for skirts and trousers. If you are looking to use an Elastic waistband instead of a hook and bar, we stock a range of different sizes of waistband  elastic available in black and white. If you have used our fabrics to make your child's school uniform before why not share your pictures with us on Facebook or leave a comment on Twitter.
