GBSB Ep8 Inspiration: Stitched from the Page
From Sherlock Holmes tweeds and reworked school uniforms to romantic Jane Austen dresses, explore the fabrics that inspired Literary Icons Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A wonderfully soft 100% cotton towelling fabric in a fabulous bright skyline blue. The knitted construction has a fine looped surface, giving it that familiar absorbent towelling texture without the bulk of a heavy bathroom terry. At approximately 210gsm, it feels soft and comfortable against the skin with a lovely amount of flexibility, making it much more suited to clothing and lightweight accessories than a thick conventional towel fabric.
The generous 170cm width makes this particularly useful for robes, beach cover-ups, relaxed tops, children's clothing, baby accessories and lightweight towels, as well as practical makes for holidays, swimming and the bathroom. We'd also be very tempted by a simple throw-on beach dress or an oversized hooded top. The vivid blue gives it a fresh, cheerful finish, while the pure cotton construction makes it a very handy fabric for anything where softness and absorbency matter.
