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 ex designer Italian cotton shirting has far more going on than you first realise. From a distance it appears to be a beautifully fine blue and white pinstripe, but look closer and there is a tiny scattered fleck running across the cloth. It catches the light in such a way that it almost appears raised from the surface, giving the fabric an unusual sense of texture and depth.
Made from 100% cotton, it has a fine, smooth shirting handle with enough body to hold a neat shape without feeling stiff. At approximately 107gsm, it is light and comfortable but not overly delicate. A very smart cloth for classic shirts and blouses, shirt dresses, pyjamas and other lightweight pieces, particularly if you like a traditional stripe with something a little less expected.
