In today's society there are a lot of cheap high street fashion stores which specialise in fast fashion meaning that most people will simply wear their clothes for one season and throw them away afterwards. This tends to mean that if the clothes get holes in them or zips break they are simply tossed aside as it is cheaper for them to be replaced than spend time fixing them. There are however a lot of thrifty people around and these people, especially the older generations, like to buy fewer garments of higher quality that they can wear for years. When these become worn, they are more likely to repair them to make them last longer. Here at Calico Laine we stock a number of Haberdashery items which can help you make do and mend. Jeans Patches : One of our newest Haberdashery items are our jeans patches. People tend to have a favourite pair of jeans in their wardrobe and so are more reluctant to throw them out when they develop holes or tears in them. With these iron on patches in several colours you can mend your trousers or even update them with a bright colour to make them seem like a brand new pair. We also stock other fabric patches in our Haberdashery section including suede, corduroy and vinyl to repair your trousers and jackets. Mending Tape : This tape is a cheap and easy way to make quick repairs and adjustments to anything from medium weight to heavy weight fabrics. At 99p per metre it is a great value for money, Haberdashery product and due to the fact that it is iron on, it is very simple to use. Replacement Trouser Pockets : It is common with trousers that over the years holes may appear in the bottom of the pocket due to wear and tear. Our replacement trouser pockets come in both half size and full size and in a variety of fabrics including polycotton, cotton and nylon. They are completely washable and can renew a pair of trousers easily to give them another few years of wear. As well as these Haberdashery pockets we stock a number of threads including top stitch and darning wool which can be used for simple repair work which will help you revive your garments within a few minutes.
