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 detailed Italian ex-designer cotton voile inspired by traditional blue and white Chinese porcelain, with magnificent dragons twisting between scrolling clouds and delicate botanical motifs. The intricate ivory design sits against a soft denim blue ground, creating a print that feels decorative and dramatic while remaining remarkably wearable. From a distance it has the appearance of an elaborate toile; up close, the dragons and tiny details really come to life.
The cloth itself is just as lovely as the print. At approximately 67gsm, this is a very fine, soft cotton voile with an airy handle and graceful, fluid drape. It would make exceptional statement shirts and blouses, as well as floaty dresses, gathered skirts, kaftans and elegant summer layers. It is naturally semi sheer, so some garments may benefit from lining. A genuinely distinctive Italian designer fabric and one I don't think will hang around for long.
