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.
This is one of those wonderfully useful Italian linens that could find its way into almost any part of your wardrobe. Woven from 100% linen in a deep dusky pink-meets-terracotta shade, it has a beautifully softened finish and the subtle tonal character that makes linen so appealing. At approximately 156gsm it sits in that sweet spot between shirting and dress weight: light enough to move and drape naturally, but with enough substance that it doesn't feel flimsy.
Upstairs, downstairs or anywhere in between, there isn't much this cloth couldn't turn its hand to. Make a relaxed shirt or blouse, a softly tailored dress, wide trousers, a full skirt, an easy jumpsuit or a loose summer jacket. The colour is particularly good: warm, earthy and sophisticated without being an obvious orange or pink. Being an Italian ex-designer cloth, the quality really comes through in the handle and finish – an understated linen that will make deceptively lovely clothes.
