Personally I just love the Autumn, there's something very cosy about the crisp mornings and the nights slowly drawing in. Obviously the change of seasons naturally leads to a change in our wardrobes, although there's something bright and cheerful about creating a summer wardrobe I love using nice warm cosy
Autumn Fabrics. People quite often assume Autumn and Winter fabrics are going to be dark dull and dowdy but this season the catwalk is full of interesting and inspiring colours and textures, here at Calico Laine our new seasonal ranges of fabrics wont let you down.
Tartan Fabrics
As you might have noticed already the shops are full of tartans, I love tartan fabrics because they are timeless and so classy. To make things even more interesting our range of tartan fabrics have never been so colourful. Although the traditional plaids like the Royal steward and Black watch are quite iconic, this year there are several new and more colourful designs to brighten up your autumn wardrobe. Tartan fabrics are ideal for pinafore dresses, skirts and jackets.
Suede
Another favourite fabric of mine this autumn is the mock suede. Here at Calico Laine we do a stunning range which are all fully washable. I particularly like the heavy mock suede fabric as it has the real luxurious look and feel to it. This line is ideal for winter weight skirts, home furnishings and bags to name just a few, suede fabrics are perfect for adding some depth and texture to any outfit.
This season we have a new nappa suede fabric which has a one way stretch to it. This fabric has a beautiful soft touch and drapes perfectly. The slight stretch enables you to get a more fitted and flattering look when making a winter dress or skirt perhaps. Whatever you're making this season then be sure to check out our Autumn and Winter ranges as you wont be disappointed.
