GBSB Ep7 Inspiration: Stitching for the Dancefloor
From liquid satin and denim to metallic jersey, sequins and velvet, discover our fabric inspiration from Sewing Bee Music Week.
There is something beautifully understated about this Italian ex-designer linen fabric. Printed across a soft natural ivory ground, hazy sea green sunbursts have a slightly faded, watercolour quality, allowing the texture of the linen to show through beneath the print. The simple repeat feels artistic rather than overly precise, while the muted green and neutral palette makes it surprisingly easy to wear.
Made from 100% linen, this is a lightweight cloth at approximately 120gsm, with the dry, breathable handle and natural slubbed texture you would expect from a quality Italian linen. Its 144cm width and easy drape make it a lovely choice for summer dresses, relaxed shirts, blouses, wide leg trousers, skirts and kaftans, particularly where you want the print to do the talking without overwhelming the garment.
