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 beautiful Italian cotton and silk dress fabric brings together oversized painterly blooms, delicate wildflowers and rich abstract panels in warm shades of coral, blush, chocolate, caramel and soft olive. The generous scale of the design gives it a luxurious, statement look, while the combination of florals and textured artwork creates something that feels distinctive and unmistakably designer. It's the sort of fabric that draws attention without trying too hard, offering timeless elegance with an artistic twist.
Woven in Italy from an equal blend of cotton and silk, this ex-designer fabric has a wonderfully smooth handle with a light, airy feel and a graceful drape. At approximately 148gsm it is perfect for occasion dresses, flowing maxi dresses, blouses, kaftans, skirts and elegant summer jackets. As a genuine designer deadstock, only limited quantities are available, making every garment feel that little bit more special.
