If you are a regular dressmaker there are certain fabrics that you will come across all the time. In today's blog i'm going to talk a little about the range of everyday Dressmaking Fabrics that we sell here at Calico Laine.
- Satin Fabrics: Included in this range of fabrics are Duchess Satins, Satin Back Crepe and Economy Satins. The satins range from £2.69 a metre up to £7.99 per metre.  They also vary in widths from 115cms up to 150cm wide. All of these satins are perfect for dressmaking and making your own designs.
- Taffeta: We offer one weight of this fabric and it is the perfect weight for dressmaking. It is 150cm wide and priced at only £5.49 per metre. This fabric is made in Germany and is a top quality Taffeta.
- Jersey Fabrics: The jersey fabrics range in different qualities and weights. It also depend what season you are looking at your dressmaking projects for. A good example of this is the double knit jersey fabrics are more of a winter dressmaking fabric than say the cotton jersey, witch is more of a T-Shirt weight fabric.
- Summer Prints: This section on the site just seems to keep going from strength to strength with new products being added all the time. The latest additions to this section are the Rose and Hubble Cotton Lawns. These are beautiful summer dressmaking fabrics.
- Chiffon: A lovely sheer lightweight fabric, these fabrics lend themselves to be being layered over a heavier fabric such as satin. They can however be used on their own and make perfect summer dresses.
