With Halloween close by, it is time to get creative with fancy fabrics for some super scary fancy dress costumes. Whether you want to be a pumpkin, ghoul, ghost, witch or vampire – haberdasheries are home to a sumptuous range of fabrics that encompass every texture imaginable. We’re on a bit of a budget this year and recently replaced our faux suade blinds for verticals so that’s given us a bit of extra fabric. For something sexy, plump for some ultra-shiny black PVC and make a skin tight mini-skirt; teamed up with a corset, and some Halloween accessories, you are sure to be the sexiest witch at the party. For something a bit softer, but by no means less subtle, why not buy some furry fabric and make yourself a monster outfit. The great thing about furry fabric is that it comes in a range of crazy colours, so you can let your imagination run wild AND it is quick and simple to sew, so you can make a full suit in an afternoon. Simply add some eccentric accessories and of course, face paints or mask to transform yourself into a magnificent monstrosity. Fabrics are also a great way of adding a decorative touch to a Halloween party – pick up some grey netting and drape it in corners to get a spooky cobweb effect; or use it to create seasonal soft furnishings like pumpkin cushions; it will really add to the party atmosphere!
