We understand that for many, dressmaking can be an expensive hobby. However, we believe that those customers who may be working to a strict budget should still have access to a wide variety of high quality dressmaking fabrics. It is for this reason, that we created our Economy Fabrics range. This gorgeous range of dressmaking fabrics are all economically priced but are by no means a cheap fabric. Even when working to a budget, you can still create gorgeous items for your family without breaking the bag.
Here are just a few of the stunning economy dressmaking fabrics available:
Bi-Stretch - for a low cost, high quality fabric, Bi-Stretch is the ideal choice. With a slight stretch on one bias, this is an extremely comfortable fabric to wear and requires little maintenance. This is a popular choice of fabric for items that will be worn for long periods of time as it does not crease easily. This is the perfect choice of dressmaking fabric for items such as skirts, trousers, jackets and suits.
