We have recently had some brand new Cotton Spandex Dress Fabrics arrive here at Calico Laine in some beautiful bright designs getting us ready for some exciting summer sewing projects. Cotton Spandex Fabric is ideal for creating a variety of clothing items such as skirts and stylish dresses due to its comfortable wear and slight stretch. Cotton Spandex is composed of a cotton and spandex mix giving the fabric a slight stretch making it easy to sew with and comfortable to wear. This Dressmaking Fabric is great for any occasion or formal gatherings and catches everyones eye with its unique colours and patterns.

For a long time this Dressmaking Fabric has been a popular seller with our customers both in store and online with some designs flying straight out of the door as soon as they arrive with us. My personal favourite out of the new designs has to be the red/lime print which is a unique aztec pattern that would make up into the perfect summer dress. Cotton Spandex always gets us in the mood for the summer months when it is delivered in store as it gives the place a bright and happy feel and customers are thrilled when it comes in. We love when customers send us images of creations they have made with our cotton spandex Dressmaking Fabric as its great to see a variety of different sewing ideas come to life. Customers often chat to us in store about what they are thinking of creating so it is lovely to see the final pieces with these beautiful materials especially when they are new fabrics that the customers love as much as we do. Every year when summer is about to arrive we always pick out some new exciting designs in this material that we know will be a success and perfect for summer creations. As well as cotton spandex material we have also received a delivery of lots more brand new Dress Fabrics in store this week including cotton prints, cotton lawns, broderie anglaise and printed canvas which all make up into beautiful summer garments due to their bright and colourful patterns. You can view all our new products online under the new arrivals section or pop in store to see us.
