Now that 2014 is in full swing, our customers are snapping up our products and getting inspired for their sewing plans this year - and we've even had a few customers come and visit us hoping to help a younger relative, such as a daughter, grandchild or niece, start sewing their very own projects. In today's blog post, we'll be covering some items that we think are essential to anyone's sewing kit.

Zips at Calico Laine.[/caption]
Zips - With everything from regular dress zips and concealed zips to open end zips and heavy duty zips, we're bound to have the right zip for you no matter what you're sewing. We also offer Trebla zips, which are a great deal if you need to buy zips in bulk.
Stitch Rippers - Everyone makes mistakes, and when you mis-stitch a seam or sew something the wrong way around, it's easy to undo your mistakes with a stitch ripper. Also known as 'quick unpicks', these handy tools are a fast and simple way to take apart any garment, and we sell them in different sizes depending on your preference.
Tape Measure - One of the most important tools in any sewing kit, we sell all different kinds of tape measures, from regular plain white ones to retractable ones and tape measures that close with a popper for easy storage.
What is the one sewing accessory that you couldn't work without? Have we missed anything that you think is absolutely essential? Let us know on our Facebook page - we love to hear from our customers!
Until next time,
