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 wonderfully delicate silk chiffon in an elegant blend of plum and mauve tones, finished with a subtle crinkled texture that adds depth and movement to the fabric. Lightweight, airy and semi-sheer, this is the sort of cloth that seems to float as it moves.
Woven from silk, it has a soft handle and graceful drape that makes it ideal for garments where lightness and fluidity are key. The gently textured surface catches the light beautifully without looking shiny, giving it a refined and understated appearance. The rich plum colouring paired with the sheer quality creates a fabric that feels both romantic and sophisticated.
Perfect for special occasion sewing, this silk chiffon works beautifully for scarves, shawls, overlays, sleeves and flowing dresses. It can also be layered over matching or contrasting fabrics to create depth and interest in eveningwear, occasion wear and elegant separates.
