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.
A rich sapphire blue linen viscose blend with a smooth, lightly textured surface and a fluid, comfortable drape. The linen brings breathability and a natural matte character, while the viscose softens the handle and helps the fabric move more easily, giving it a less rigid feel than a traditional linen. The plain dyed finish gives strong, even colour that works well with both simple and shaped designs.
At 188gsm this midweight woven fabric has enough body to give garments structure without feeling heavy. With no stretch in either direction, it behaves reliably when cutting, sewing, and pressing, making it suitable for a wide range of dressmaking projects. It’s a versatile choice for dresses, skirts, tops, relaxed trousers, and jumpsuits where comfort and clean lines are key.
