In todays blog we are going to be talking about the range of Swarovski Hot Fix Stones that we stock here at Calico Laine, and how they can  be used as decoration for your Dressmaking Fabrics. Using the Swarovski Hot Fix Stones within your Dressmaking is the perfect way to create unique designs and one-off items that you can really show off! Almost anything can be crystallized using the crystals, and we stock a wide range of colours here at Calico Laine, so you can be sure to find the right ones for you. The first important features of the Swarovski Hot Fix Stones are that they are flat-backed, which means that the flat surface is an ideal base for attaching the crystals to whatever Dressmaking Fabric you have chosen. The Swarovski Hot Fix Stones come with a pre-applied bonding glue, which is activated when heat is applied to it. Here at Calico Laine, we stock the Crystal Hot Fix Wand Applicator. This applicator is the ideal solution to attaching the crystals onto the Dressmaking Fabrics. All you need to decide upon is how to decorate your Dressmaking Fabric! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
  • Bridalwear - Swarovski Hot Fix Stones can really personalise bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses, and can really add that extra sparkle to your special day!
  • Prom dresses - Perfect for that special occasion, any Dressmaking Fabric can  be transformed into something unique by adding designs and colours with the Swarovski Hot Fix Stones.

  • T-shirts - Going on a hen night? Why not personalize the group's t-shirts with Swarovski Hot Fix Stones to really show off!
