Introduction:
Black Magic is a wonderful, finely woven, super soft medium-heavyweight cotton fabric with a multitude of versatile uses.
Colour:
Combination of extra fine, high thread count, silky soft yarns of all black, and a super close-woven diamond design that produces a classic black fabric with a lustrous sheen and interesting textural design. Black fabrics of this quality are ideal for creating classic key pieces.
Properties:
Expertly woven fabric has excellent versatility thanks to its soft feel and mediumweight, producing a reassuringly weighty drape that's ideal for everything from super smart and dressy to more casual pieces. Think of Black Magic as an elevated version of your go-to black sateen/drill type. This is a designer fabric you can dress up or dress down.
Black Magic boasts excellent stability and good ease across the bias-making it perfect for a mountain of tailoring uses! This fabric will hold crisp details like collars and reveres plus it will form full ruffles, gathers and pleats.
Garment Suggestions:
Make our very own Cordelia Trousers create perfect pleats and full drapey wide legs with a Fabworks exclusive sewing pattern! If skirts are more your style The Amelia Skirt is a stylish panelled pencil skirt with kick pleats and two-length options! Add a matching Jemima Waistcoat to complete the ensemble.
Don't be restricted and think you can only make trousers, skirts, jackets and waistcoats from Black Magic. This will make feminine apparel with a vintage style; wiggle dresses and skirts with ruffled peplums and fishtail fan pleats, plus shirt dresses, tunics, pinafore dresses and the most elegant and wearable fit and flare or wrap dresses you will return to, year after year.
Wrap bodice dresses with gently flared skirts are perfect for wearing across the seasons. If trousers are more your style, the Zadie Jumpsuit has similar lines to Vogue Patterns V1672.
If this corporate black is too plain for you, add a designer detail like embroidered applique or topstitch in brightly coloured thread, add matching bright buttons and wear with bright coloured shirts.
Medium-heavyweight cotton fabrics make up fabulously in utility styles, particularly in dark or neutral tones and are super useful and never date. The Assembly Line Patterns are ideal for utility styles as are Merchant & Mills and The Makers Atelier. There are of course lots of other fabulous pattern brands out there, just choose patterns that let the fabric speak for itself.
