Yorkshire Independent Clothing Manufacturer
This collection of dressmaking fabrics has been sourced from a Yorkshire clothing manufacturer, with 30 years experience producing quality, British-made fashion garments, who has now decided to retire.
With their strong background in knitwear, this range is led by an excellent selection of knitted jersey fabrics, along with a well-balanced mix of woven dressmaking material, including denim. They were originally produced for UK garment manufacturing, and so show the hallmarks of commercial-standard cloth - having good weight, a dependable handle and a well-finished feel. These are fabrics designed for commercial clothing production and will enable you to give your creations the ‘high street label’ and professionally-made look, wearing well over time and after repeated washing.
