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 lively mix of oversized tropical leaves and flowers gives this linen rayon blend plenty of personality, with coral, raspberry, burnt orange, olive and soft mint working against a warm neutral ground. The slubbed surface adds subtle texture rather than feeling completely smooth, while the high rayon content gives it a softer, more fluid handle than you might expect from a linen blend. At around 170gsm, it has enough substance without feeling heavy.
There is 20% stretch across the width thanks to the added spandex, making it particularly comfortable for fitted or easy wearing dressmaking. We'd use it for summer dresses, jumpsuits, wide leg trousers, skirts, relaxed shirts and matching separates. The bold botanical print would also make a fabulous statement maxi dress or holiday outfit.
