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.
This Italian linen cotton blend fabric has a wonderfully bold, almost painterly print, with sweeping botanical shapes twisting across a deep chocolate brown ground. Turquoise, aqua, powder blue, cream and soft taupe create plenty of contrast, while the oversized scale gives the design a confident retro feel. It is the sort of print that works particularly well on a simple garment where the movement and colour can take centre stage.
Made from 80% linen and 20% cotton, it combines the distinctive texture and breathability of linen with a little of cotton's softness. At approximately 150gsm, it sits at a useful light to medium weight with enough substance for dresses and trousers while still offering a relaxed drape. The generous 148cm width also makes it a great option for shirts, skirts, jumpsuits, co ords and statement summer separates.
