We take pride in all of our Fabrics here at Calico Laine and try to bring you the widest choice available to suit all types of budgets and styles... Our Economy Fabrics come in a selection of different choices ranging from Satin to Fancy Dress Fabrics to Chiffon and are fantastic value for money. If you are planning your wedding, why not have a look at our range of Economy Satin? It is available in a wonderful choice of rich colours which really catch the light! Economy Satin is a lighter weight fabric and is 150cm wide which many people have used for their bridesmaids dresses/prom dresses and many other designs. As we have such a vast selection of polyester Dress Linings which are also 150cm wide and brilliant value you really can create some stunning designs which wont cost the earth and will still provide a lovely quality looking garment! Dress Linings are a very important part of Dressmaking and are great if you wish to simply line a garment such as a jacket, but also add another layer, great if you are working with a thinner material!
Looking for a more sheer fabric? We have some great choices which can not only be used with your dressmaking, but as they are great value, they are commonly used to decorate interiors such as chair and table decorations, and also look particularly effective when draped around as there are many different colours available too! For example, Organza has a beautiful sheen to it but is lovely and sheer which will create a delicate, yet lovely flash of colour! If you are looking from more of a Dressmaking perspective, Chiffon is a great choice. It is beautifully lightweight and really adds texture and body when used on top of other fabrics. It flows stunningly and is available in great colour choices too...
Economy Fabrics are also great as many people use them for table cloths for parties as there are some fantastic designs and colour choices such as Gingham. Gingham adds a lovely touch of colour and really has that 'rustic' look which is right on trend at the moment. So if you have a colour scheme in mind why not consider an Economy Fabric! We have much much more in our selection such as Dress Nets, Curtain Linings and many other Satins so come and have a look around at our website and don't forget we offer a sampling service her at Calico Laine so you can see before you buy to make sure you have made the right choice with your order!
