Welcome to the inspiration blog for the July Lamazi Makers Club Inspire.
This month we are taking our cue from one of this Summer’s biggest trends with a soft and breathable cotton ribbed jersey, perfect for making tank tops and dresses amongst many other styles of garments.
If you follow our seasonal trend blogs you will know that the simple white tank has been a key piece for a few years now through all seasons. We are seeing more variety to this trend now and are excited to offer a choice of prints in our Inspire Bags this month to help you create a timeless summer piece.
Dresses
A sleeveless dress in these fabrics is the perfect 'throw on and go' summer dress, perfect for days out with family and friends or chilling by the pool. When the temperatures dip just add an extra layer.
