We have so many fabrics here at Calico Laine, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming when choosing what type of fabrics would be suitable for you. As the warmer weather is now approaching us, we start to plan special events, and don't really want heavy fabrics. We have many different lightweight Fabrics to choose from that would be ideal to make into evening/ bridal garments or simply lighter weight day wear fabrics so come and have a look around at our website and see if there is anything that takes your fancy! A great, lightweight fabric to definitely consider is our Cotton Jersey. It is a 't-shirt' weight and can be made into many different dressmaking garments. There are many different colours to choose from. It is made from 100% cotton, so is light and airy and is 160cm wide. If you want a lightweight fabric but need an elegant touch, Georgette would definitely be one to have a look at! It is lovely and soft to the touch and drapes beautifully. It will add that flowing effect to any garment and is a sheer fabric. It is made from 100% polyester and is 140 cm wide. We also have a linen range, which is ideal to be made into trousers and really add that summer feel! Of course we have so many more different fabrics in our range, so come and have a look around. If you do require a small swatch so you get to0 have a look and feel at your chosen fabric just call us or apply on the website. I hope that today’s blog has helped you decide on what type of fabrics are available to make some quality garments and ways to accessorize them too!  If you need any help regarding our products you can always give us a call for more information on 0151 336 3939  at the warehouse or email any questions to sales@calicolaine.co.uk and one of our experienced team will reply to you as soon as possible.
