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.
Bring a fresh coastal feel to your wardrobe with this striking crochet effect knit in sunny mustard yellow, navy, sky blue and cream stripes. The openwork construction creates the look of hand crocheting, while the cheerful colour palette gives it a bright, summery character. Lightweight and breathable with a lovely relaxed drape, it's perfect for creating effortless pieces you'll reach for throughout the warmer months.
Made from a practical blend 50% cotton and polyester, this fabric combines the softness of cotton with the durability and easy care of polyester. As with many open knit fabrics, it benefits from a little extra care during sewing, making it an enjoyable project for confident beginners and experienced dressmakers alike. We recommend using a ballpoint or stretch needle, a walking foot where possible, and stabilising hems and shoulder seams with clear elastic or seam tape. Ideal for cardigans, beach cover ups, oversized jumpers, relaxed tops, ponchos and dresses worn over a slip or lining.
