GBSB Ep 1 Inspiration : Summer Fabrics & Patterns
Summer shorts, transformed bags and made-to-measure outfits. Find fabrics, patterns and sewing tips inspired by Episode 1 of The Great British Sewing Bee.
Richly textured and full of character, this premium wool-rich tweed is woven on an elegant ecru base with delicate flecks of turquoise, cobalt blue, sunshine yellow, coral red and soft pink scattered throughout the cloth. The beautifully looped bouclé yarns create a luxurious, tactile surface that catches the light and gives the fabric wonderful depth without relying on bold prints or oversized checks.
At 425gsm, this substantial designer deadstock cloth has the weight and structure for timeless outerwear while remaining surprisingly supple to sew. The wool-rich composition provides warmth, the polyamide adds durability and resilience, and the small amount of polyester helps maintain the fabric's shape.
Perfect for cropped jackets, Chanel-inspired styles, coordinating skirts, shift dresses and lightweight outerwear.
