GBSB Ep4 Inspiration: Mexico Week
Colour, embroidery and bold details inspired our favourite fabrics, trims and patterns from episode 4 Mexico Week of the Sewing Bee.
This is an exceptional Italian ex-designer linen with the sort of colour, texture and character that immediately sets it apart. Woven from 100% linen, the check brings together rich orange and burnt rust with vivid green, touches of yellow, and softer neutral threads. Rather than a flat printed check, the colours are created through the weave, giving the pattern wonderful depth and subtle changes of tone where the different yarns cross. The natural texture of the linen adds to its distinctive, high-end appearance.
At approximately 210gsm, this is a substantial medium-weight linen with more presence than a typical lightweight dress linen, while retaining the breathability and natural handle linen is loved for. Its generous 159cm width and beautifully structured drape make it particularly suited to statement trousers, tailored dresses, skirts, overshirts, relaxed jackets and co-ordinating separates. A superb quality cloth for a garment where you really want the fabric to do the talking.
