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.
A black stretch velvet knit densely covered with small sequins, giving it a rich, light-catching surface with a soft, plush base underneath. The velvet provides depth and softness, while the sequins add a dressy, polished finish without feeling overly rigid. Despite the sparkle, the fabric still feels supple and comfortable, with a smooth underside against the skin.
This is a medium to heavy knit with stretch, offering around 20% give across the width and a slight stretch vertically. It has enough weight to drape well and hold its shape, making it well suited to eveningwear and occasion pieces. Ideal for dresses, tops, skirts, and statement garments where you want glamour with comfort, and structure without stiffness.
