GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
All the colour of autumn without the weight of an autumn fabric. This fine 100% cotton shirting comes in a gorgeous burnt orange, somewhere between pumpkin and rust, with a smooth, closely woven surface and a crisp but lightweight handle. At approximately 104gsm, it feels wonderfully light without being flimsy.
It’s the sort of cotton that makes a really good shirt or blouse: easy to handle, easy to sew and with enough crispness for collars, cuffs, gathers and pleats to look smart. We’d also use it for shirt dresses, lightweight dresses and fuller skirts. A particularly good one for those in-between months when you fancy richer autumn colours but the weather hasn’t quite caught up.
