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.
Softly shimmering, this lurex viscose jersey has an elegant silvery white tone that catches the light beautifully. Fine metallic threads are woven throughout the fabric, adding a delicate sparkle without overpowering the design. Smooth, fluid and wonderfully comfortable to wear, it's a sophisticated choice for garments that deserve a little extra glamour.
Made from 82% viscose and 18% lurex, this 320gsm knitted jersey is 160cm wide with approximately 50% stretch across the width and 15% lengthways. The substantial weight provides excellent drape while remaining soft against the skin, making it ideal for dresses, tops, skirts, jumpsuits, festive separates and occasion wear. Unlike some lightweight jerseys that seem determined to roll themselves into a tube, this one lies beautifully flat and is wonderfully well behaved under the sewing machine. Whether worn during the day or dressed up for the evening, this fabric offers effortless elegance with a luxurious finish.
