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 sturdy white cotton drill with a clean, classic appearance and a practical weave. At 150cm wide, this fabric combines durability with excellent absorbency, making it ideal for household projects where a hardworking cotton cloth is needed. The drill construction gives it more body and strength than a standard cotton sheeting whilst remaining easy to sew and comfortable to handle.
Whether you're making sturdy trousers and aprons or traditional tea towels, kitchen cloths, hand towels, table coverings and utility items for the home, this fabric is up to the task. Its bright white finish provides the perfect blank canvas for embroidery, printing or personalisation, whilst the robust weave stands up well to regular washing and everyday use. A simple, dependable cotton fabric that earns its keep around the house.
