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
Not many outdoor fabrics manage to look this cheerful while still being practical. Woven in deep navy with bold aqua stripes, this PU coated polyester has a crisp, structured feel with a lightly textured surface and a water-resistant finish that makes it ideal for garden and outdoor projects. It’s the sort of fabric that immediately makes you think of deckchairs, beach huts and somebody insisting summer has officially started because they’ve cleaned the barbecue.
Strong, durable and easy to wipe clean, this fabric is brilliant for cushions, windbreaks, bags, awnings and seating covers. The coating helps water bead on the surface while the sturdy woven construction gives it enough body for projects that need structure. A proper statement fabric that feels a bit different from the usual plain outdoor canvas.
