Well Christmas is fast approaching, so now is the time to start thinking about what you need to make this Christmas extra special. It seems every year Christmas is getting more and more expensive, so why not turn your hand to a bit of Craft? Add that special touch this year by making presents for the special people in your life. Here at Calico Laine we have an extensive range of arts and craft goods not to mention a fantastic variety of fabrics. So in this blog I am going to talk you through some of the products we have and what they can be used for. One of the products we have that I think adds that special touch when decorating your house is Wadding. I personally use it as fake snow and my children love it, it is fantastic quality and great value for money. It can also be used as a filling for toys or cushions for example. We have some beautiful Christmas Cushion Panel Fabrics that are very colourful and festive. We also have a Father Christmas design or a friendly Snowman Design that will lighten up any sofa with Christmas spirit. In the range there are some Christmas Fabrics that would be ideal for making tableclothes, place mats, coasters and even matching napkins ranging in price from £5.99 upto £9.99. Another great Fabric for Christmas is Felt, it is lightweight and versatile and one of our best sellers at this time of year, and at £10.99 a metre its great value for money. Why not make some Christmas stockings or instead of a shop bought advent calendar try making your own? Its quick and easy to do and you can re-use it year after year. We have Faux Fur Fabric that is ideal for making santa hats or if you're feeling jolly why not make yourself a santa suit for your works night out? Why not pop along to one of our shops and have a look around? You won't be dissappointed with what you find!!!! Until next time The Calico Laine Team
