GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A classic 100% cotton denim in a traditional blue, with the familiar diagonal twill construction and contrasting lighter yarns giving the surface that unmistakable denim appearance. At approximately 300gsm, it is a really useful medium weight: substantial enough to make a proper pair of jeans, but not so heavy that it becomes difficult to handle or wear. There is good structure here for trousers and workwear, while still being manageable enough for jackets, dungarees, skirts, pinafores and overshirts.
This particular denim has also earned itself a small place in Croft Mill history. It arrived on what we believe to be the biggest roll we've ever had through the doors – more than 130 metres of it. It took a couple of us to process it and twice as many to manoeuvre it down the corridors here. Just when we thought we'd finally finished rolling it off, it turned out there was still more hiding on the roll. The Tardis of denim rolls. Thankfully you don't have to wrestle with all 130-plus metres; we'll cut off just the amount you need.
