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.
Wonderfully chunky knitted coating fabric with a bold geometric design in burnt orange, warm tan, chocolate brown, cream and charcoal grey. The pattern has a distinctly retro feel, with oversized zigzags and stepped shapes running across the cloth, but it is the texture that really makes it. Thick yarns create a pronounced knitted surface with plenty of character, while the reverse reveals the construction beautifully. At approximately 360gsm, it feels substantial and warm without tipping into cumbersome blanket territory.
At a generous 160cm wide, this is crying out for a statement coat or oversized jacket. It would also make a fabulous coatigan, cape, poncho, gilet or heavy cardigan-style jacket, where the large-scale pattern and chunky texture can really be seen. Keep the garment shape relatively uncomplicated and this cloth will happily provide all the drama itself. Warm, tactile and unapologetically 1970s in the best possible way.
