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.
A rich, deep wine shade in a classic 5 wale cord, this fabric has a confident, heritage feel with a softer, more refined tone than brighter reds. The wide wale rib gives texture and depth, while the brushed surface adds warmth and character.
Woven from 100% cotton and weighing 283gsm, it has the structure needed for jackets and trousers while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear. At 142cm wide with no stretch, it’s a reliable choice for skirts, pinafores, dungarees and workwear-inspired pieces, as well as durable accessories.
