GBSB Ep6 Inspiration: Fabrics for Little Makes
From tutus and cuddly creatures to superhero outfits, discover our favourite fabrics and sewing ideas inspired by Kids Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
This 150cm wide jacquard towelling fabric from the Qjutie & The Qjutest range is made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, combining softness with durability. It features a bold fuchsia base with a striking navy and yellow floral design woven into the cloth, giving it depth and texture rather than a flat print. At 280gsm, it sits in a comfortable midweight with a soft, absorbent handle typical of towelling, while still being stable enough to sew with ease.
Part of their first pattern magazine release, this fabric was used for the Q2514 jumpsuit, and you can see why. It’s a practical yet eye-catching choice, suitable for children’s clothing, sweatshirts, hoodies, jumpsuits and relaxed everyday pieces. The cotton content keeps it breathable and comfortable against the skin, while the polyester adds strength and helps it hold its shape over time. Oeko-Tex Class 1 certified, it’s also suitable for sensitive skin, making it a reliable option for younger wearers.
