GBSB Ep 2 Inspiration : Prints, Colour and Creative Sewing
From print matching to bold colour combinations, discover fabrics and sewing inspiration from Great British Sewing Bee Episode 2.
This beautifully woven British cloth blends 80% wool with 20% cashmere before undergoing a traditional milling process that transforms the surface into something wonderfully soft and refined. The fibres gently bloom during finishing, creating a dense, smooth handle where the weave quietly recedes beneath the surface, giving the fabric a luxurious appearance and exceptional warmth without excessive weight.
The rich earthy brown colour has far more depth than a plain solid shade. Look closely and you'll notice warm rust, chocolate brown, camel and subtle olive fibres blending together to create a naturally heathered effect with almost tweed-like character. Understated yet full of interest, it's a colour that works beautifully for timeless outerwear and tailoring. At approximately 260gsm, it sits comfortably between suiting and lightweight coating, making it ideal for unstructured blazers, overshirts, smart skirts, country-inspired jackets and elegant lightweight coats. It's the sort of fabric that quietly speaks of quality and craftsmanship without ever shouting for attention.
