GBSB Ep6 Inspiration: Fabrics for Little Makes
Tutus, cuddly creatures and superheroes inspired our favourite fabrics and sewing ideas from Kids Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
This black Tencel twill suiting has the sort of presence that makes even simple garments look intentional. The twill weave is beautifully pronounced across the surface, giving the fabric depth and movement rather than a flat plain finish. At 250gsm it has a lovely weight to it, substantial enough for sharp tailoring and structured pieces, but still fluid enough to move beautifully when worn. Smooth, smart and easy to handle, it feels modern rather than corporate.
It’s the kind of cloth that works brilliantly for wide leg trousers, softly tailored jackets, shirt dresses and contemporary suits that look expensive without trying too hard. Hardwearing and practical whilst still feeling luxurious, it has that rare balance of polish and wearability. The Tencel gives it a softer more fluid drape than traditional suiting too, so garments feel comfortable and relaxed rather than stiff or overly formal. One of those fabrics that quietly turns into the piece in your wardrobe people keep asking about.
