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.
A fabric that looks as though it has stepped straight out of a Paris atelier. This richly textured black tweed combines polyester, acrylic, cotton and specialty yarns to create a cloth full of depth, character and interest. Bouclé loops, ribbon-like yarns and varied textures catch the light differently across the surface, giving it a luxurious finish that is anything but plain black.
At approximately 343gsm, it has enough weight and structure for beautifully tailored garments whilst remaining comfortable to wear. Ideal for cropped jackets, boxy Chanel-inspired blazers, bomber jackets, skirts and statement separates. Pair it with denim for an effortless everyday look or style it with a black dress for something far more polished. The texture does all the hard work for you.
