As we are all waiting for the warmer weather and holiday plans are on the horizon, we all sorts of different fabrics here at Calico Laine, whether you are looking for a specific material, or want a stunning pattern such as a floral print, or even something a little unique, we cater for all types of tastes and budgets! A beautiful fabric, which would be ideal for either summer dresses or evening wear would be our Microfibre. It is so lovely and drapey and will create some stunning garments. It's not too heavy and isn't very lightweight either, being just the right consistency! It has a matte effect and comes in some lovely rich colors! The Microfibre is 150 cm wide and is made from 100% polyester. If you want something with a print, we have some beautiful Summer Prints in various  fabrics to have a look at, whatever dressmaking designs you have in mind. We have Printed Satins and Chiffon's in some stunning designs and colours. We also have some delightful poplin's which, at great value for money, could even be used for table cloths for those summer parties! Some of our cottons also contain spandex, which not only add a light stretch to them they are in turn more comfortable to wear and fit really well! 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.
