GBSB Ep 2 Inspiration : Prints, Colour and Creative Sewing
From print matching to bold colour combinations, discover fabrics and sewing inspiration from Great British Sewing Bee Episode 2.
Classic British country style never really goes out of fashion, and this beautiful checked tweed is a perfect example. Woven from 100% wool in Britain, the deep forest green base is crossed with fine checks in teal blue, warm ochre and muted burgundy, creating a subtle pattern that reveals more character the closer you look. The colours blend together beautifully, giving the cloth a rich, heritage feel without appearing overly bold.
At 260gsm, this tweed has enough body for structured garments whilst remaining comfortable to wear throughout the year. The wool offers warmth, breathability and excellent durability, making it ideal for jackets, waistcoats, skirts, trousers and lightweight coats. Whether you're sewing traditional country clothing or adding a timeless check to a modern wardrobe, this is the sort of fabric that will look just as good years from now as it does today.
