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 striking floral viscose challis featuring oversized painterly blooms in vibrant shades of pink, fuchsia and blush set against a fresh green background. The print has the feel of a hand-painted garden in full bloom, with rich colour contrasts and artistic brushstroke details that give the fabric real depth and character. It's a fabric that catches the eye without feeling overpowering.
Woven from 100% viscose, this lightweight challis has a beautifully soft handle and fluid drape that works perfectly for warm-weather dressmaking. Ideal for dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and floaty summer styles, it moves gracefully and feels cool against the skin. Whether you're sewing a statement dress for a special occasion or simply brightening up your everyday wardrobe, this fabric brings colour and energy to any project.
