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.
This Italian ex-designer check is a fine, lightweight woven cotton with a touch of stretch, ideal for shirts, blouses and easy everyday sewing. The small red-and-white check keeps it classic, while the soft handle and slight give make it comfortable to wear and simple to work with.
Made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, this fabric drapes well without feeling flimsy. At 45gsm and 135cm wide, it’s perfect for lightweight tops, gathered styles, summer dresses and layering pieces. A great choice if you like crisp shirting fabrics but want something with a bit more movement.
