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 linen viscose blend dress fabric has a soft fluid drape with just enough linen texture to stop it feeling overly slippery or flat. The monochrome print has an organic ink-blot effect running across the surface, almost like painterly brush marks or abstract floral shadows, giving it a slightly artistic feel.. The black and cream colouring keeps it versatile and easy to wear whilst still making a statement.
At 180gsm it sits beautifully for relaxed dresses, wide leg trousers, loose shirts and easy everyday separates with movement and softness. The viscose keeps it smooth and breathable whilst the linen adds texture, character and that slightly dry natural handle people love in summer fabrics. A lovely choice if you want something graphic and modern without looking too harsh or geometric.
