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
This warm orange and soft-white cotton voile features a tropical leaf design that has a relaxed Mediterranean feel, perfect for summer sewing. The rich, sun-baked colour gives the fabric warmth without feeling heavy, making it a lovely alternative to brighter tropical prints.
The lightweight voile feels beautifully soft against the skin and drapes naturally into comfortable everyday clothing. It's ideal for easy shirt dresses, oversized blouses, wide-leg trousers, matching co-ords or a simple beach cover-up. An uncomplicated fabric that looks stylish whether you're at home or on holiday.
