Here at Calico Laine we have recently seen a resurgence in people making their own accessories. Customers have been inspired by programmes such as the great british sewing bee and one craft that we have seen become particularly popular is bag making. Many customers come in with specialised books about bag making and as well as looking for the fabrics to create a bag they are also looking to Buy Haberdashery items for their project. When customers come to us to Buy Haberdashery for their bag making projects there are a number of products that we have available. For those customers who are looking to make a more casual bag, oversized tote bag or reusable shopping bag we have recently added to our range of knitted webbing which is ideal for bag handles. Knitted webbing and basket weave webbing is durable and strong meaning that it will last a long time and will hold a considerable amount of weight without breaking which can be a concern with bag straps. If you are creating one bag, these products can be purchased by the metre however it you are creating a selection of bags we also sell this webbing by the full roll. Customers who are making bags such as rucksacks or holdalls may be looking to Buy Haberdashery for adjusting or fastening straps. Items such as derilin buckles, derilin slides and dog hooks are available for this and we even stock plastic bag shoulder straps to provide extra comfort when a heavy bag is being carried. When creating a bag you may want to make it wipe clean and you can now Buy Haberdashery items that can help you do this. Vilene have produced a product called Lamifix which is a iron on transparent film, in both glossy and matt finish, which means that your finished product will be prevented from getting dirty. This is great for toiletry bags, sports bags and baby bags and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Another interfacing that is useful for making bags is decovil, a new product from Vilene. This has a leather like handle and is a fusible non-woven interfacing. It is best used as a stiffener to create a bag by ironing onto fabric and then creating your shape and sewing.  Customers can also Buy Haberdashery items from our online store such as magnetic bag clasps, bag handles. velcro and prym fasteners to help them create a bag.
