GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
Sweetshop colours meet classic tweed texture in this wonderfully characterful knitted polyester cotton blend jersey. The pale aqua blue ground is woven through with little flecks and loops of pink, yellow, green, blue and red, with a touch of metallic thread catching the light between them. Up close there is masses going on, but from a distance it settles into a soft, fresh blue that is surprisingly easy to wear. The boucle-style surface is tactile and interesting, while the knitted reverse is smooth and exceptionally soft.
Despite looking like a traditional woven tweed, this one has the comfort of a jersey, with gentle stretch in both directions and a supple handle that makes it much less restrictive. At approximately 233gsm, it has enough substance for jackets, cardigans, coatigans, skirts, dresses and relaxed Chanel-style separates without becoming bulky. Proper pick-and-mix sweetshop vibes, with a little sparkle thrown in for good measure.
