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.
This satin backed crepe in baby pink has a smooth, subtle sheen on one side and a soft matte crepe on the other, giving you two completely different finishes in one cloth. It’s a midweight fabric (approx. 215–220gsm) with a fluid drape that falls cleanly without clinging, making it ideal for more considered, polished garments.
The reversible nature gives you flexibility when sewing, whether you use the satin side as a feature or keep it inside as a built-in lining. There’s a slight give across the width for comfort, and it handles well at the machine. A reliable choice for occasionwear, including dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and softer jackets, with enough body to hold shape while still moving nicely.
The PU coating improves how the fabric behaves in wear, reducing static build-up and cling while helping it fall cleanly. It also adds a slight barrier, making it smoother over the skin and more resistant to light creasing and everyday wear.
We have this fabric in a number of different shades, take a look here.
