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
A fabulous Italian ex designer dress fabric with a large tropical palm print that feels sunny without being too obvious about it. The off-white ground is covered with sweeping leaves in olive and fresh green, mustard, soft pink and earthy ochre. It has that slightly vintage Mediterranean feel to it – the sort of print that would make a brilliant summer dress and do most of the work for you.
Made from 55% viscose and 45% cotton, it combines the softness and drape of viscose with a little more body from the cotton. It would work beautifully for dresses, skirts, relaxed trousers, jumpsuits, blouses and co-ordinating separates. The larger scale of the print would also look particularly good on simple patterns where those palms can really take centre stage.
