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 beautiful Italian ex-designer linen viscose in the darkest, inkiest black. Soft, smooth and flowing, but certainly not flimsy, it has a lovely full-bodied handle with the viscose giving it movement and the linen adding just enough substance and character. There is a subtle texture to the weave which stops the black from looking flat and gives the cloth a really smart finish.
At approximately 199gsm, this is a particularly useful dress weight: fluid enough for movement but with enough body for garments that need a little presence. Think beautifully cut dresses, wide-leg trousers, skirts, jumpsuits, relaxed jackets and sophisticated separates. A very good quality plain black cloth and one of those fabrics where the appeal is all in how it feels and hangs.
