Colours at Calico Laine

This summer is all about different colours with a few different pallets being the hottest trends. One colour that seems to be hot off the collar is violet. Violet is everywhere right now and here at Fabric-World we have amazing violet shades in a range of fabrics. The ice cream pallet is also a big hit this summer. With shades such as pastel pinks, lemons and mints being must haves in your clothing pieces and accessories. These pastel colours are ideal for the summer months as they stand out and suit the warmer weather conditions.

Patterns at Calico Laine

The biggest pattern hitting the catwalk this summer is checks. With designs ranging from tartans, gingham's and large check prints, this seems to be the fashion print of the summer. At Fabric-World we love check prints and have a quality range of materials to create your perfect checked garment. Florals are also back again but this time with a more vintage feel. Floral prints are always big every year but with a different twist each season. This design is one of my favourites. Colours within the florals are purples, neutrals and wines making it a more old fashioned and shabby chic style. If you are big on your trends take a look at our whole fabric range on our Calico Laine online store. We would love to see some of your summer creations you make this season.
