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 bold multicolour sparkle tweed with real character. This is one of those fabrics that does all the work for you, packed with woven threads in green, purple, pink and orange, all lifted by fine metallic fibres that catch the light as it moves. From a distance it reads as rich and tonal, but up close it’s full of detail, texture and colour shifts that keep it interesting.
The cloth has a slightly open, textured weave with a soft but structured feel, giving it enough body for coats and jackets while still having a bit of movement. It’s not heavy or stiff, so it works well for more relaxed shapes too. Being ex-designer and a one-off, it’s the kind of fabric you won’t come across again, ideal if you want something a bit different without going over the top.
