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.
This "exclusive to Croft Mill" cotton seersucker features a soft pastel check in gentle shades of yellow, blue, green and pink, woven into a lightly puckered surface that gives it its characteristic texture. The seersucker weave lifts the fabric away from the skin, making it breathable and comfortable to wear, particularly in warmer weather.
At 90gsm and 120cm wide, this is a practical lightweight cotton that holds its shape without feeling stiff. It presses easily, doesn’t cling, and works well for relaxed garments where you want ease and movement. It’s a long-standing staff favourite thanks to how wearable it is and how forgiving it can be to sew.
