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.
There is something particularly luxurious about this cloth in classic black. Rich, deep and beautifully refined, the colour allows the quality of the fabric to do the talking. This is far removed from an ordinary black cotton trousering, with a wonderfully soft surface and the sort of substantial, expensive handle you notice the moment you pick it up.
Woven in Italy from cotton, cashmere and elastane, the fine twill has an exceptionally soft, almost peachy finish courtesy of that touch of cashmere. At approximately 270gsm, it has enough body to hold a beautifully tailored shape, balanced by gentle give across the width for comfort. Think immaculate black trousers, wide leg styles, chinos, fitted skirts, overshirts and smart jackets. A fabulous wardrobe fabric and a genuinely special piece of Italian ex-designer cloth.
