It may be a few weeks until Halloween is upon us but if you are looking to make yourself a costume now is the time to start thinking about what fabric you might like to use. We have a large range of fancy dress fabrics that can be used for making your costume however one of our most popular fabrics is our Faux Fur. Our Faux Fur has a pile of approx 1cm and is made from 100% Acrylic. It comes in both plain colours and printed designs creating a large collection of fabrics to choose from. In our plain faux fur we stock 14 different colours including black, brown, purple, acid green and orange. With our orange and green faux fur you could make a furry pumpkin costume and even include some of the black fur for the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin. Alternatively, you could use the black fur to make a cat costume which is always a popular costume on a night out. This would be perfect partnered with some pink felt for the centre of the ears and some marabou string for the cat's tail. In our printed fur section we have a number of different animal prints including Aligator, Brown Cow and Dalmation. Nowadays when people go out for Halloween they don't always go for the traditional spooky outfits and people will dress up as all sorts of different things. With the tiger and ocelot faux fur you could make a caveman outfit and style yourself as Fred Flinstone or you could use our dalmation fur to make yourself a Cruella de Vill costume. With a little bit of imagination this fabric could be used to make some stunning Halloween outfits. We would love to see some of the creations you have made from our Faux fur. Why not post a picture of you wearing your outfit on our Facebook or Twitter pages for all our customers to see. If you have any suggestions on costumes that can be made using our fabric please feel free to leave a comment below. Until next time, Laura Calico Laine
