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.
A lightweight fine cotton shirting scattered with soft blue florals and bright red berry detail on a fresh ivory base. The print has a painterly, slightly vintage feel to it, with layers of sky blue, navy and aqua giving it plenty of depth without feeling busy. At around 100gsm, it’s light, breathable and smooth to the touch with that crisp-but-soft handle good cotton lawn does so well.
This is the sort of fabric that instantly feels like summer sewing. Ideal for dresses, blouses and shirts that need movement without cling, it gathers beautifully and presses neatly without fighting back. The little pops of red stop it drifting into “too sweet” territory and give it a bit of character, cheerful, but still grown-up.
