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 softer, lighter shade in the Laura Ashley Austen range, this pale blue furnishing fabric is woven from 54% linen and 46% cotton for a stable yet balanced handle. With a weight of 270–290gsm, it offers the substance needed for interiors while maintaining a smooth, even finish and subtle natural texture.
The pale blue tone brings a calm, airy feel to a space, working particularly well in bedrooms and relaxed living areas. With no stretch and a firm woven structure, it’s suited to curtains, Roman blinds, cushions and occasional upholstery where a neat, tailored result is key.
