Not everybody who comes into our shop or orders online is looking for large amounts of fabrics to sew with. A lot of our customers are simply looking to Buy Haberdashery items that will help them to 'make do and mend' clothing so they do not have to go out and purchase new. There are number of useful products that can be found in our Haberdashery section to help you with all those household repairs and alterations. Hemming Tape : One of the most popular Haberdashery items for repair work is hemming tape. It is a way of repairing loose hems on trousers and skirts without using a needle and cotton which is an attractive prospect for customers who cannot sew very well. It is a double sided adhesive tape which is activated with heat and therefore a simple iron across the hem of your garment will create a neat and crisp hem. The tape itself is clear and cannot be seen on the garment. Iron on Mending Tape : A cheap Haberdashery tape that can be used to repair rips and holes on medium to heavy weight fabrics. It has a adhesive on one side of the tape and can be adhered with a cool iron. Iron and Sew on Patches : We have a large range of fabric patches in our Haberdashery section which can be used for repairing holes in clothes or reinforcing elbows on jackets that may be a little worn out. They are available in leatherette, corduroy, suede and denim so there is something to suit most jackets or trousers. Zips : Zips are an important Haberdashery item for repairs as it can save you a lot of money just replacing a zip on a coat rather than buying a full new garment. By taking out an old broken zip and replacing it with a brand new zip, you can get many more years out of your clothes. Replacement zips come in chunky plastic, nylon, metal and brass teeth in a variety of colours and sizes. They are easily replaceable and can even be cut down to size if you cannot find the size you are looking for.
