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.
Supremely pretty and beautifully delicate, this Italian ex-designer 100% cotton crepe is as soft as can be. The palest cream ground is scattered with an all-over garden floral of loosely drawn blooms, leaves and trailing stems. Soft orange, apricot and yellow are mixed with fresh greens, touches of powder blue, muted pink and gentle earthy tones, giving the print plenty of colour without ever becoming too bright or busy.
At just approximately 62gsm, this is an exceptionally fine, featherlight cotton with the subtle texture and wonderful movement of a delicate crepe. It drapes effortlessly and feels beautifully soft against the skin, making it particularly lovely for floaty dresses, gathered blouses, softly shaped skirts and summer tops. There's something rather romantic about this one – light, graceful and just the sort of fabric for a dress that moves beautifully.
