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
A striking Italian silk and linen blend featuring an explosion of colour across an artistic abstract floral design. Painterly brushstrokes, splashes of colour and scattered floral details combine shades of gold, raspberry, plum, teal, olive, mint and cream to create a fabric that feels like a piece of modern artwork.
The blend of 70% linen and 30% silk gives this fabric the best qualities of both fibres. Linen provides breathability and a natural texture, while the silk adds softness, drape and a gentle lustre. Lightweight and airy, it is comfortable to wear during warmer months whilst still having enough body for beautifully shaped garments.
Perfect for statement dresses, skirts, blouses and loose-fitting summer trousers, this fabric shines in simple patterns that allow the print to take centre stage. Woven in Italy and available in very limited quantities, it is a special piece for anyone looking to create something truly individual.
