Although
Tartan Fabrics are not specifically Christmassy they do seem to be everywhere this time of year. I think this is truer than ever this autumn as tartan fabrics are also the height of fashion. Whether you're looking for gift wrap, Christmas decorations, a new dress or a blazer jacket there seems to be a tartan option everywhere you look.
I just love wearing tartan fabrics, they are stylish, bold, classy and in turn a timeless option. Here at Calico Laine we stock a huge selection of tartan fabrics some of which have a very traditional long standing Scottish history while others are new with a modern edge both of which are very on trend. The viscose and polyester mix are ideal for a multitude of hard wearing, winter garments including Jackets, skirts, dresses and ponchos to name just a few. I particularly like the Royal Stewart tartan this time of year, I love the bold traditional red colour for the festive season combined with royal blue and gold.
Wool Fabrics
If you're looking to make something extra special this festive period then we also have a stunning range of pure wools this winter. Several of this range are available in stunning tartan plaid designs. Their are many benefits of wearing pure wool, it has a wonderful heavy luxurious feel but this stunning range is also guaranteed to keep you nice and warm throughout the colder months. This season the shops are full of winter capes, wraps and ponchos as an alternative to a jacket. this range of wool tartan fabrics would be ideal for such garments.
Tartan fabrics are very fashionable at the moment for clothing and Christmas decorations alike. If you don't fancy making anything as big as a garment then why not update your Christmas decorations with a tartan tree skirt, a festive wreath or even a simple tartan tablecloth. The viscose tartan fabric is fully washable and would make a bold and vibrant tablecloth when everyone comes to visit over Christmas. Your options are endless, you just need a little imagination this festive season. Whatever you're making, have fun. Merry Christmas!!
