We can accommodate most dressmaking needs no matter how outlandish - for example our show-time fabric range is extremely popular with those wishing to make a dramatic entrance or those who wish to showcase their talents in a dance troupe. No matter what the brief, we have the fabric and the accessories to meet it, including industry trusted standard YKK zips and a huge choice of coloured threads that you will need to complete the job.

Our range of haberdashery products also works brilliantly with your choice of fabric to bring your upholstery up to date. We can even supply the perfect trim whether beaded or lace to set the finished look off. Utilising our products such as curtain tapes to stiffen the fabric once the piece is finished (so it hangs perfectly) means you will achieve a professional look, even if this is your first foray into the world of dressmaking.

In fact more and more people are returning to dressmaking with a mind to create their own wardrobe these days. Whatever your reasons for doing so, we also have a fantastic range of sewing machines to get you started so that you have the best tools to work with as well as the best in high end quality fabrics.

Sourced by us for their capacity to work with many types of fabric and thread, even when placed under extreme demand, the Elna range of professional dressmaking machines are an excellent means of creating the piece that you want with as little fuss as possible.

Our range of fabrics is also complemented perfectly by the availability of our wadding and filling products as well as our extensive and helpful craft range. Getting you the right tools to carry out the job in a professional manner is part of our overall aim as a company since, the better our range of products supplied, the more confidence you will have for future projects. Tools such as chalks and dressmaking glue solutions mean you can manipulate the fabric to whatever ends and even create the perfect costume for your little one's school play, whether it’s a sun costume or the perfect nativity play costume you are aiming for.
