Bias binding is a popular tool for dressmaking all year round but particularly during the warmer months as customers embark on projects such as floaty tops and elegant summer dresses. We carry a wide selection of bias binding but for customers who wish to go the extra mile, we also sell the popular bias tape maker by simplicity which will enable you to create your own customised bias tapes for a variety of sewing and dressmaking projects. No springtime outfit would be complete without a co-ordinating accessory and with our selection of excellent quality bag handles you can now create your own bag designs as well as for repairs of existing items or to revamp and old handbag. With spring and summer comes wedding season, of course our bridal fabrics are a particularly popular collection with brides to be but it is also important to consider the other finishing touches which are required to make not only your extra special but your whole venue. There are a number of Haberdashery items which are extremely useful for constructing a bridal gown; our selection of boning is one of the most popular items of Haberdashery with dressmakers commissioned to create bridal gowns of all specifications but particularly for fairytale princess gowns which require additional volume and structure. Our collection of lace and trim can be used for adding a special touch to your accessories including your bridal veil and or for adding a romantic, feminine touch to your gown.
