GBSB Ep4 Inspiration: Mexico Week
Colour, embroidery and bold details inspired our favourite fabrics, trims and patterns from episode 4 Mexico Week of the Sewing Bee.
This Italian linen cotton blend fabric has a wonderfully bold, almost painterly print, with sweeping botanical shapes twisting across a deep chocolate brown ground. Turquoise, aqua, powder blue, cream and soft taupe create plenty of contrast, while the oversized scale gives the design a confident retro feel. It is the sort of print that works particularly well on a simple garment where the movement and colour can take centre stage.
Made from 80% linen and 20% cotton, it combines the distinctive texture and breathability of linen with a little of cotton's softness. At approximately 150gsm, it sits at a useful light to medium weight with enough substance for dresses and trousers while still offering a relaxed drape. The generous 148cm width also makes it a great option for shirts, skirts, jumpsuits, co ords and statement summer separates.
