GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
Bold florals give this polyester softshell fabric a cheerful change from the plain outdoor fabrics you usually come across. The smooth outer face has a vivid pink-red ground scattered with large painterly flowers in soft pink, white and pale blue, with deep plum details adding contrast. Turn it over and there’s a wonderfully soft pale blue microfleece backing, giving you warmth and comfort without needing to add a separate fleece layer.
At 145cm wide, this is a cracking choice for lightweight jackets, gilets, children’s outerwear, dog coats, bags and practical outdoor accessories. The fleece-backed construction gives it a cosy feel while the colourful floral face makes finished garments rather more exciting than your average outdoor jacket. Practical doesn't have to mean boring, after all.
