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
This 146cm wide taffeta dressmaking fabric is black with a contrasting silver flocked snowflake design. Snowflake patterns are a great “go-to” winter fabric, working well for use in Christmas crafts as well as throughout the colder seasons. Black at Christmas is a little like marmite, you either love it or hate it.
Taffeta is a distinctly crisp, plain woven cloth with a faint weft or filling-way, rib due to the greater number of warp threads than filling threads. It holds its shape far better than most fabrics and its non-stretch quality means it will not “sag” or drape. Fabulous qualities that come in handy when designing elaborate ball gowns, corsets and interior decorations.
