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 Italian virgin wool jersey is the sort of fabric that completely changes people’s opinion of wool the second they touch it. Superfine, featherlight and unbelievably soft, it has a silky smooth handle that feels cool rather than scratchy, with a fluid drape that skims the body beautifully. The black colour keeps it sleek and understated whilst the fine knitted construction gives it that luxurious technical feel often found in premium outdoor and designer base layers.
At 150gsm it’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, making it ideal for layering pieces that need warmth without bulk. Perfect for roll necks, fitted tops, thermal base layers, luxury loungewear and elegant bedtime pieces that feel soft and breathable against the skin. Virgin wool naturally helps regulate temperature too, keeping you warm when it’s cold but breathable enough to wear indoors comfortably. The sort of fabric that makes you wonder why every winter top you own isn’t made from it.
