GBSB Ep6 Inspiration: Fabrics for Little Makes
From tutus and cuddly creatures to superhero outfits, discover our favourite fabrics and sewing ideas inspired by Kids Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
This dark grey crepe is one of those fabrics that quietly earns its place in a wardrobe. Smart enough for workwear, understated enough for everyday wear and elegant enough for special occasions, this Italian deadstock cloth has a timeless quality that never feels dated. The crepe texture softens the colour beautifully, giving it more depth than a plain woven fabric.
At 280gsm, this polyester, viscose and elastane blend has a lovely balance of drape and structure. It hangs beautifully through dresses and skirts whilst retaining enough body for tailored trousers, jumpsuits and lightweight jackets. Easy to sew and comfortable to wear, it's a fabric you'll reach for time and again.
