GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
Beautifully soft viscose and polyester Ponte Roma jersey in a deep, sophisticated olive green. The colour is dark and understated, sitting somewhere between forest and traditional khaki olive, with a subtle melange appearance that gives it more depth than a completely flat green. It has a smooth, finely knitted surface and that characteristic Ponte Roma combination of softness and substance, falling into lovely rounded folds while still having enough body to hold its shape.
At 143cm wide, this is a wonderfully useful fabric for everyday dressmaking. Its soft handle and comfortable knitted construction make it ideal for trousers, dresses, skirts, tunics, jackets and more fitted tops, particularly garments where you want structure without stiffness. It would make an excellent pair of pull-on trousers or a simple dress that skims rather than clings. A very wearable green and the sort of fabric that earns its keep in a wardrobe.
