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
Light, airy and made for warm weather, this 100% cotton voile features a bold tropical leaf print in yellow on an off-white base. The large-scale design has a relaxed holiday feel without being over the top, making it equally at home as a casual shirt or an elegant summer dress. It's bright, cheerful and surprisingly easy to wear.
Soft against the skin and beautifully breathable, this voile is perfect for loose-fitting garments that let the fabric move naturally. It works brilliantly for matching co-ords, oversized shirts, floaty dresses, wide-leg trousers and beach cover-ups. Pair it with sandals on holiday or trainers at home – either way, it's a fabric you'll keep reaching for.
