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.
This 100% viscose challis fabric features a lively bird of paradise print set against a soft, muted turquoise base. The design combines bold tropical flowers with sweeping leaves in warm reds, pinks and golden tones, creating a colourful look that feels fresh and wearable.
At 110gsm, this lightweight woven fabric has the soft handle and fluid drape that viscose challis is loved for. It moves beautifully, making it ideal for dresses, blouses, relaxed shirts and skirts. The vibrant print does most of the talking, so even simple garment styles look striking. Comfortable to wear and easy to sew, it's a great choice for warm-weather wardrobes.
