Now it is the new year, we can begin to plan ahead for Summer Dressmaking and which Fabrics we can use to create the perfect summer garments! In todays blog Iwould like to run through some ideas and hopefully inspire us to start looking forward to some warmer weather!!!
Once again, Floral Prints are set to be big in fashion as we come into the Summer months. Floral Prints can be worn in many different styles of clothing, and our range here at Calico Laine really caters for all tastes. We have over 60 different designs of Floral patterns – some are brighter and bold designs, such as the ‘Lime Floral Summer print’, others have a softer Floral print, for example the ‘Sea Island Soft Lawn’ prints. Both colourful and more subtle designs can be equally as effective, in creating individual designs for your Summer Dressmaking.
The Floral Prints we stock here at Calico Laine come in different types of fabrics to cater for your Dressmaking needs:
