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 beautifully made German ex-designer wool flannel in classic black, originally produced for a high street fashion brand. This is a particularly lovely quality cloth, with a softly brushed surface and smooth wool-rich handle that immediately sets it apart from a standard suiting. At approximately 220gsm, it has enough substance and structure for tailoring while retaining the natural drape and comfort you want from a good flannel.
Composed of 98% wool with 2% Lycra, this is an incredibly useful black fabric for smart trousers, beautifully cut jackets, waistcoats, skirts and complete suits. The understated colour makes it endlessly wearable, but it is the quality that really makes this one special: German made, ex-designer and wonderfully tactile, with a finish that should make up into a very polished garment.
