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.
This is a seriously good trousering cloth. Woven in Italy from cotton with a touch of elastane, it has the substance and fine diagonal structure of a quality twill, but the face has been given a wonderfully soft peachskin finish. The result is smooth and almost velvety to the touch, taking away the harder feel you sometimes get with heavier cotton twills. The colour is equally rich: a deep burnt terracotta with rusty, earthy undertones.
At approximately 266gsm, it has plenty of body for trousers and tailoring while the gentle give across the cloth makes it much more comfortable to wear. This would make superb chinos, tailored trousers, skirts, pinafores, structured dresses, overshirts and lightweight jackets. It has that difficult-to-describe quality you notice as soon as you handle an expensive cloth: substantial without being stiff, beautifully finished and exceptionally soft. A fabulous Italian ex-designer find.
