Its nearly that time again, summer is on its way out, so we are all starting to think about the winter months and the events that come with it! Halloween is such a fun time of year and here at Calico Laine we have just had our new Halloween Fabrics arrive through the door! They can be used to create a scary fancy dress outfit, you can use these fantastic fabrics to drape around your interior if you are holding a party which is sure to give you the creeps! The designs that are available range from 'Spiders Web' to 'Graveyard Skeletons' and come in a choice of different fabrics from sheer fabric embossed with sparkling patterns that really catch the light, which look especially effective when draped around your interior or door frame to invite those trick or treaters in! They are also perfect to be used as table cloths if you are holding a Halloween party and are also fantastic value for money too! You could even incorporate them into your fancy dress outfit, so if you are planning to dress up as a scary witch or even a pumpkin, there will be a fabric for you!! Another popular fabric choice for Halloween, and also fancy dress, is Dress Net! Dress Net is great value for money, and simple to work with. You could combine a range of florescent dress nets, which is guaranteed to brighten up your outfit and make your garment a show stopping piece. Dress Nets are frequently made up into tutu's and built up with different colour layers too! They can be attached to 'Narrow Flat Elastic'  so can be comfortable around your waist.. Not only do we sell a fabulous choice of different fabrics, our Haberdashery choice is brilliant and will enable you to make your ideas into reality. For example, if you are making a cape, our Cord would be especially useful. I would recommend using the '3mm Anorak Cord' which also comes in a choice of different colours so you can easily match up your fabrics. Simply hem the fabric and post the cord through so you can tie at around your neck.. Not only is this simple to do, it wont cost the earth either which is always a bonus!
