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.
Knitted in Italy from a premium blend of viscose, polyamide and elastane, this substantial jersey has a smooth surface, a sophisticated gunmetal sheen and a weight that gives garments real presence. The viscose keeps it soft and comfortable against the skin, whilst the polyamide and elastane provide excellent recovery and shape retention.
At 367gsm, this is a heavier jersey with enough body for structured knitwear and elegant everyday dressing. It drapes beautifully without clinging, making it particularly suitable for trousers, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and modern co-ordinates. The subtle metallic gunmetal appearance adds depth and interest whilst remaining versatile enough to pair with almost any colour palette.
This is the sort of Italian jersey that turns a simple pattern into something that looks far more expensive than the effort required to sew it.
