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.
Remnant - Boyfriend Material - Graphite (1.5m) - This item is non-returnable/non-refundable.
Not quite grey, not quite blue, this sophisticated shade sits somewhere between graphite, petrol and slate. Woven in Italy for an ex-designer British menswear brand with a devoted following in Japan, it's the sort of fabric that looks understated until you get it in your hands. The quality of the weave, the smooth finish and the soft handle immediately stand out.
At 180gsm, this versatile cotton is substantial enough for lightweight trousers, overshirts and chore jackets, whilst remaining soft enough for shirts, shirt dresses and everyday separates. The muted blue-grey tone feels timeless and modern at the same time, pairing effortlessly with black, navy, cream and earthy neutrals. A practical wardrobe fabric with a quietly premium feel.
