Haberdashery has really taken a revival over the past couple of years, mainly due to the popularity of new TV shows such as Gok Wan's ''How to Look Good Naked''. These shows have really opened up peoples ideas for creavtivy with their own clothes. It is also often a much cheaper way of adding extra glam to your outfits. Below I touch on some of the more popular everyday items of Haberdashery that we sell here at Calico Laine:
  • Bias Binding: Available in cotton, poly-cotton and satin bias binding are a real must have item for any keen dressmaker. These also come in a variety of different widths and colours.
  • Zips: A hugely popular item within Haberdashery, zips are very popular now as a fashion statement. Especially on dresses where the zips are showing on the outside.
  • Self Cover Buttons: If your adding a extra bit of glitz or glam to an outfit, then these can really finish any item of clothing.
  • Ribbons: There are simply so many different types of ribbons available here at Calico Laine. They come in a hugh choice of widths, colours  and different fabrics. Another item that is perfect for glamming up your dresses or tops :-)
