With the hot summer weather now here it time to start thinking about your summer wardrobe. If like me you prefer to make your dresses rather than buy them then it's also time to start looking at some of the new summer Dressmaking Fabrics. Here at Calico Laine a new collection of summer Dressmaking Fabrics have just arrived. These designs include polka dot fabrics, floral summer print fabrics, new colours in the poplin fabrics and also some new colours in the gingham fabrics. With all these new fabrics now available you really will be spoilt for choice. One of the most simple and also most popular fabric that we sell for summer dresses is our range of poplin fabrics. These fabrics are a plain polycotton fabric that are 115cm wide. The reason it is so popular for summer dressmaking is that it's such a light weight fabric and  also very versatile. Our range of Floral Summer Print Fabrics are truly beautiful fabrics. There is a great variety in these fabrics and they all vary in widths. These fabrics are ideal to made into evening summer dresses and will look great either on holiday or at home. Along with these summer prints are a range of different striped fabrics. These striped fabrics are all 115cm wide and 100% cotton. I hope that you have enjoyed todays blog on summer Dressmaking Fabrics.
