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
If you're looking for something a little different, this abstract animal print certainly delivers. Printed on a soft twill base in shades of blue, the design has a loose, painterly feel that gives a nod to animal print without being too obvious. Made from 75% viscose and 25% polyamide, the fabric combines a silky smooth handle with the gentle texture of a twill weave, creating a cloth that drapes beautifully and feels lovely against the skin.
At 90gsm, it's light enough for warm-weather dressing while still having enough body for elegant everyday garments. The fluid drape makes it a brilliant choice for blouses, shirts, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and relaxed trousers. It's one of those fabrics that does all the talking, so simple patterns work especially well and let the print shine.
