Haberdashery is one of the biggest factors within the sewing, dressmaking and crafts world. Lets face it, with out it we wouldn't be able to make anything successfully, unless we resorted to wrapping fabric around our bodies and tying it or lay all our homemade cards flat down to keep all of the little bits and bobs where they were! This is not ideal at all though and is definitely not an option, at least not for me, Haberdashery is such a big part of my life!
Here at Calico Laine we stock a huge variety of Haberdashery for everything and everyone! Scissors can be especially hard to find as there are so many different types for different uses, we all know a good pair of scissors makes all the difference to your finished product by ensuring smooth cutting. A great pair of scissors will be a pleasure to use; a bad pair will be difficult and ineffective and will affect the overall quality of your work.
If you are looking for a pair of everyday use scissors that are suitable for a variety of Haberdashery projects why not try our Fiskars General Purpose Scissors, as they have a set of long sharp blades with a curved handle which makes them great for slicing through material in one long, smooth cutting action. A fabulous pair we stock for all the embroiderers out there are the Fiskars Embroidery Scissors which are suitable for a range of sewing and embroidery tasks as they have finely pointed tips, ideal for intricate cutting.
