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 beautifully made Italian ex-designer cotton lawn has a wonderfully fresh, clean look. The check brings together pale blue, deeper mid blue, white and touches of soft yellow, with a little muted green and lilac appearing where the woven colours cross. It has that classic country-check character without feeling old fashioned – crisp, bright and incredibly easy to wear.
Fine and lightweight at approximately 97gsm, this pure cotton has a smooth, cool handle with enough body to hold the check beautifully whilst remaining light and comfortable. We immediately see shirts and shirt dresses, but it would also be lovely for blouses, summer dresses, gathered skirts, pyjamas and children's clothing. A very well-made shirting cloth where the quality of the weave really does show.
