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 black denim has more of a worn-in character, with a softer washed appearance that gives it an easy, lived-in look from the start. Still dark and versatile, but less sharp and formal than a clean raw denim, this one leans more towards vintage workwear and relaxed everyday sewing. The twill weave is clearly visible, giving the cloth a rustic charm that feels properly timeless.
At 8.7oz and 190cm wide, this 100% cotton denim is lighter and more flexible than heavier rigid denims, making it ideal for comfortable jeans, overshirts, chore jackets, skirts and casual utility styles. It has enough body to hold shape nicely while still softening beautifully with wear. The sort of denim that already looks like an old favourite before you’ve even threaded the machine.
Line through the fabric at 55cm. Still very usable, with a reduction in price to allow for this.
