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.
Beautifully soft brushed wool jacketing woven in Italy in a deep, almost inky navy. The brushed finish gives it a gentle, velvety surface that adds warmth and softness without unnecessary weight, making it comfortable and easy to wear.
At 160cm wide and 100% wool, this lightweight cloth has a smooth drape and clean structure, ideal for elegant jackets, relaxed coats and smart separates. Originally produced for a luxury fashion house, it is genuine designer deadstock - premium surplus fabric offering exceptional quality with a more sustainable edge. Warm yet refined, this is a reliable navy that works season after season.
Alan says - "Listen closely, I’ll say this only once. Here’s a rare chance to get your hands on some of the finest wool fabrics straight from Italy’s top mills. These luxurious woollens have graced high-end fashion house collections - no names, but trust me, they’re exceptional."
