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 lightweight cotton seersucker shirting fabric with a classic small-scale check in soft glacial blue and white. The puckered seersucker weave gives the surface a gently crinkled texture, adding interest while helping the fabric sit away from the skin. It has a clean, fresh look with a relaxed handle that feels easy and wearable.
At around 75gsm this is a fine, breathable cotton that’s ideal for warm-weather sewing. The natural texture means it doesn’t cling and rarely needs pressing, making it particularly good for everyday garments. Well suited to shirts, blouses, loose dresses and summer pyjamas, it handles comfortably under the needle and wears beautifully in finished pieces.
