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.
An Italian wool and cashmere coating in a bold blue and violet check with a black overcheck running through it. The 90% wool and 10% cashmere blend gives it warmth and structure, while the brushed finish adds a soft, comfortable handle.
At 140cm wide and 434gsm, it’s a proper coating weight with enough body for structured outerwear. The check holds its shape well and presses into crisp lines, making it ideal for coats, jackets, capes and heavier overshirts. A strong pattern choice that still feels smart and wearable.
