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 beautifully fine black viscose twill suiting with a smooth, refined surface and a lovely combination of fluidity and body. The superfine diagonal weave is subtle, giving the black a little depth without creating an obvious texture, while the high viscose content gives the cloth a soft, supple handle and an elegant drape. It feels substantial in the hand despite its fineness, falling into beautifully full folds rather than hanging limp.
Think smart trousers, beautifully cut suits, jackets, waistcoats, pencil or flowing skirts, dresses and jumpsuits. It can look sharp and businesslike when tailored, or considerably softer when allowed to drape, which is precisely what makes it such a useful black cloth to have around. Fine enough for a dress, smart enough for a suit and with enough body to do both properly.
