GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
Not every fabric has to be sensible. This fresh lime green baby needle cord certainly isn't. Bright, cheerful and full of personality, it brings a welcome splash of colour to sewing projects whilst retaining the softness and practicality that makes needle cord such a favourite.
Woven from cotton with an ultra-fine wale, this baby cord has a wonderfully soft handle and a lighter feel than traditional corduroy. The subtle texture adds interest without bulk, making it ideal for shirts, skirts, pinafores, lightweight jackets and children's clothing. The vibrant lime shade works particularly well for spring and summer makes, whilst the soft finish ensures it's comfortable enough to wear all day.
Please note this fabric may show minor signs of storage wear, which is reflected in the heavily reduced price. Any imperfections are generally confined to isolated areas and should not affect most projects.
