Every so often it is inevitable that the hems of your trousers or skirts will fall down and you will need to do a small repair job. For those of  you who are not the best at sewing or need a quick fix we have a solution for you with our Hemming Tape. Hemming tape is a clear tape that can ironed onto the hem or seam to hold it in place instead of having to sew the garment. The tape is simply placed between the layers of the fabric where the hem has been turned up and ironed to activate the glue in the tape. As it is clear you cannot see it on the fabric so it can be used with any colour garment. It can be used to turn up hems on trousers, skirts and even sleeves on jackets. Here at Calico Laine we stock two versions of hemming tape, a branded and non branded version. Our branded version is from Wundaweb and is well known for hemming tapes. Most people actually ask for 'Wundaweb' rather than asking for hemming tape! Prices start at £1.99 for 5 metres and go up to £3.99 for 20 metres. So depending on how many jobs you have going on, there will always be a suitable product for you. We also sell a heavy duty hemming tape under the Wunderweb brand which is ideal for those jobs that need that extra bit of strength. With this you will be guaranteed that your hems will not fall down. This packet comes in a length of 3 metres and priced at £1.99 per packet. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the Wunderweb brand we also sell 'Hem-it' Economy hemming tape in a standard hemming tape and heavy duty version tape.
