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.
A classic natural French linen with that softly mottled, slightly irregular look you only get from a good quality flax fibre. It has a dry, airy handle and a gentle structure, sitting at 160gsm so it’s light enough for warm weather but still holds its shape well. The weave gives a subtle texture that adds depth without any print.
This is the sort of fabric that gets better the more you wear it. Perfect for loose dresses, relaxed shirts, skirts or lightweight jackets that feel easy and breathable. If you’re after something understated and timeless, this does the job without trying too hard.
