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 real statement linen with an almost hand illustrated quality, this Italian ex-designer cloth combines rich terracotta and rust with a warm ivory ground. The print is arranged in decorative panels filled with stylised suns, shells, botanical forms and ornamental motifs, giving it the character of an old Mediterranean textile or painted ceramic. There is plenty to discover within the design, yet the limited two tone palette keeps the overall look beautifully cohesive.
Woven from 100% linen, it is lightweight at approximately 120gsm, allowing the fabric to retain that characteristic linen texture without feeling heavy. At 140cm wide, this would make striking dresses, oversized shirts, skirts, loose trousers, kaftans and summer co ords, with the larger scale print particularly suited to simple garment shapes where those unusual motifs can really be seen.
