One of the newest sections on our website is the Leather Look Fabrics section. Within this section we have a number of different quality leather look and also wet look dressmaking fabrics. The materials come in a variety of different widths and colours and are suitable to be made into jackets, trousers, dresses and skirts. Some of the fabrics are also perfect for a fancy dress costumes as they come in bright shiny colours. These fabrics are all approx 150cm wide and all have a slight stretch to them. If you are thinking of making a fancy dress costume then I would recommend gold, lilac, pink or even royal blue shiny fabrics. These would be perfect for creating a one off unquie fancy dress outfit. On the other hand if you are thinking of making a leather jacket or maybe a pair of shiny legging then I would perhaps consider using the black leather look fabrics. These come in a couple of different qualities and weights are really are perfect for dressmaking with. You don't just have to stick to using black though, we also offer a number of different other colours such as brown, gold and even silver. All of these would be great as a jacket or leggings. I hope you have enjoyed my short blog entry today today on our latest arrivals here at Calico Laine.  As always if you have used any of our fabrics then please do share your experiences with us in the box below or on our Facebook and Twitter pages, Until next time, Calico Laine
