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.
Woven in Britain from 100% wool, this bottle green tweed is a wonderfully versatile cloth with a beautifully soft handle and timeless appeal. The rich green shade has real depth, reading as a classic bottle green from afar while revealing subtle tonal variation within the weave up close. It has the unmistakable character of a traditional British wool cloth, yet feels refined enough for both contemporary and heritage-inspired garments.
At 250gsm, this tweed sits in that useful middle ground between suiting and coating, offering enough structure for tailoring without becoming heavy or bulky. It presses beautifully, drapes naturally and has the warmth and breathability that only pure wool can provide. Perfect for jackets, waistcoats, skirts, trousers and lightweight outerwear, it's equally at home in country-inspired clothing or smart everyday tailoring. A classic British cloth that will never fall out of fashion.
