What type of lining fabrics are available in the range?

As well as plain white or black lining fabric, Spotlight also carries a variety of brilliantly coloured linings that deserve to be seen, and are ideal for lining jackets and waistcoats, the inside of bags, the reverse of quilted blankets and many more areas where the lining will be (partly) visible. Choose from polyester and taffeta fabrics in different weights. Also available is a so-called enviro-cloth, which is often used to make shopping bags and similar items. It is available in several colours. An anti-static lining fabric is also featured in the range.

Can I find interfacing here too?

Yes, Spotlight stocks a great range of interfacing of different types. Interfacing is generally used on the wrong side of fabrics or the inside of garments to provide extra strength, stability or weight to items such as lapels, collars and cuffs, waistbands, pockets, necklines and areas where button holes are going to be sewn. It can also be used to help provide shape and structure to craft projects such as quilted blankets and wall-hanging, applique and embroidery. It is available as a sew-in fabric or an iron-on fabric, and is manufactured in a range of weights suitable for all types of fabric from sheer to heavy-duty. Different brands are on offer, so you can find all your favourite products here, including on the roll, by the metre or in pre-cut lengths.

What about linings for interior projects such as curtains?

These types of lining fabric are found in a separate section at Spotlight, as part of the Curtains and Blinds range. These lining fabrics are generally wider and sometimes heavier than the tailoring and dressmaking linings and include plain lining, thermal lining and sun-out or block-out lining, which is available by the metre in various colours and fabrics.
