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.
Not all black jerseys are created equal. This Seacell jersey has an incredibly smooth, soft feel that immediately stands out when you handle it. Lightweight without feeling flimsy, it drapes beautifully and moves with the body, making it a comfortable choice for garments you'll reach for again and again. The deep black colour gives it a clean, versatile look that's easy to dress up or down.
Seacell is a cellulose-based fibre made using sustainably sourced wood pulp blended with seaweed during production. The result is a fabric that's breathable, naturally soft and gentle against the skin. At 150gsm, this knitted jersey has excellent recovery with around stretch, making it ideal for t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, relaxed dresses, loungewear, layering pieces and lightweight jersey pyjamas. If you appreciate fabrics that feel as good as they look, this one is worth a closer look.
