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 Italian wool mohair suiting has a beautifully subtle two-tone woven effect created from deep navy and almost-black blue yarns running together through the cloth. The result is a fabric with real depth and movement rather than a flat block colour; the sort of suiting that quietly catches the light as you move and somehow always looks expensive. Lightweight and fluid with that unmistakable smooth mohair finish, it has a clean elegant drape that feels luxurious without becoming overly formal.
The blend of wool and mohair gives this fabric a lovely balance of softness, durability and natural crease resistance whilst still holding sharp tailoring beautifully. It’s the sort of cloth you imagine being turned into impeccably cut wide leg trousers, softly tailored jackets or evening pieces that move effortlessly when worn. The drape is exceptional; almost liquid, making it especially striking for garments where movement and silhouette really matter. A proper statement suiting cloth, but in a refined understated way rather than something loud.
