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.
A beautifully detailed Italian ex-designer linen, woven in a softer palette of fresh green, warm orange, cream and touches of charcoal. The different scales of check overlap across the cloth, creating a far more intricate effect than a straightforward tartan. Woven from 100% linen at approximately 210gsm, it has a wonderfully natural texture, a substantial medium weight handle and enough body to show off all that woven detail.
There is something distinctly polished about this cloth, but the colour combination keeps it relaxed and wearable. At a generous 159cm wide, it would make fabulous tailored trousers, dresses, skirts, overshirts and lightweight jackets, particularly pieces with simple lines that allow the check to take centre stage. An unusual, high quality Italian linen that feels every bit as special as it looks.
