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.
A thick, reliable British-made wool cloth that works well for both sturdy suiting and warm outerwear. Woven from 100% wool, this charcoal melton-style fabric has a dense, felted finish with a smooth surface and a firm structure. It’s the sort of cloth that holds its shape, tailors cleanly and gives garments real substance.
At 160cm wide and 500gsm, it’s undeniably heavyweight, making it a solid choice for structured jackets, heavy suiting, overshirts and proper winter coats. If you want a wool that feels robust and long lasting, this one does the job without fuss.
