Having access to higher quality fabrics when working within a budget is now possible, due to a fantastic range of Economy Fabrics that Calico Laine stock. We believe that quality fabrics are one of the most important parts to creating the perfect garments in your Dressmaking, and using Cheap Fabrics is not the way to give successful results. Cheap Fabrics simply don’t have the finish, look or feel to give the best results possible, and more often than not, using Cheap Fabrics often means that garments just don’t last. Our Economy Fabrics are designed to provide you with the best quality fabrics, for when you need to work under a budget. Here at Calico Laine, we pride ourselves in only providing the highest standards of quality Fabrics. To get the most of your Dressmaking garments, we always suggest to source the best quality of fabrics, as Cheap Fabrics simply do not last as well. However, purchasing high quality fabrics does not have to be as expensive as you think! We now have a full range of Economy Fabrics which means you can have these beautiful Fabrics at the price of Cheap Fabrics, without sacrificing quality. Here are just a few Cheap Fabrics that we have in stock for you to choose from:
  • Gingham - This is one of the most popular Fabrics that we sell, and at just £2.69 a metre it is the ideal choice for childrens clothing! This polycotton gingham is designed to last well, and is a perfect replacement for Cheap Fabrics that would not wear as well if made into garments such as school uniforms.
  • Organza - This is a beautiul layering Fabric that is suitable for Bridal wear and for other formal occasions such as prom dresses. This gorgeous Fabric is only £2.49 a metre, yet is far from being a Cheap Fabric due to its quality and finish when created into clothing items.
  • Poplin - This is a lighterweight polycotton Fabric that is only £2.99 a metre and is ideal for shirts and tops. Even though it is fantastic value for money, it is far from being a Cheap Fabric. This is the highest quality Poplin Fabric around, and it really shows when used in Dressmaking.
