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.
Bold purple leopard print French terry. Soft, stretchy and easy to wear with a comfortable looped back.
This is a proper everyday knit with a bit more character than your usual sweatshirt fabric. The rich purple base is broken up with an all-over leopard print in soft white and flashes of teal, giving it a lively, slightly unexpected look without being over the top. The surface is smooth and soft, while the reverse has that classic looped terry structure that adds warmth without too much bulk.
With 8% elastane running through it, there’s a good amount of stretch and recovery, making it comfortable to wear and easy to sew. It holds its shape well, making it ideal for garments that need a bit of structure but still feel relaxed.
Works well for sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, casual dresses and children’s wear. It’s one of those fabrics that does the job practically but still feels a bit more interesting once made up.
