The festive season is nearly upon us and it's time to dust off the decorations. For those of us who really embrace this special time of year there really is nothing more fun than putting up the Christmas tree. This leads me on to the topic of today's blog, Haberdashery accessories that can work for Christmas as well as all year round :-)
  1. Ribbons: An excellent accessories to any tree, ribbons will really add the finishing touches to it. Another excellent idea for using ribbons with your Christmas plans is to decorate your mantle piece with it by hanging cards over it. The great thing about plain ribbons is the great choice of colours and thicknesses that are available. In total there are over 400 different combinations to choose from!
  2. Christmas Fabrics: Although not strictly a haberdashery item, these ranges of fabrics work really well when used with haberdashery. These fabrics truly are stunning and look amazing when made up.
  3. Felt: My personal favourite! Felt can be used to make your santa stocking. You can also personalise it by adding your child's name. I did this for my little boys last year :-)
  4. Ribbon Embellishments: Perfect for using on cards and even seasonal fancy dress costumes. The massive range of colours and different accessories make this section one of the most interesting on the site. These are also excellent value for money as well.
