Lamazi Makers Club - March Inspire Blog

Welcome to the first inspirational blog for Lamazi Makers Club!

For the March Inspire Bag we chose one of our most popular exclusive prints - Painted Foliage designed by Rachel Parker in this original vibrant colour way. This design was previously available on Pure Linen in a softer, toned down summer colour palette. Now printed on viscose, we have fallen for the vibrant version of this pretty print which will be a perfect addition to Spring / Summer wardrobe. 

Painted Foliage features a watercolour style foliage design in bold and beautiful colours. Designed by Rachel Parker, this print is inspired by the idea of a rainbow canopy of leaves, with the effect of dappled sunlight passing through, capturing summer in a fabric. 

Our exclusive viscose has tighter weave and more weight, therefore it is more durable and will crease less compared to the average lightweight viscose fabric. This viscose is ideal for a wide range of garments, from dresses to tops, loose trousers to skirts. Take inspiration from some of our favourite indie patterns for what you can make with this fabric. 

Dresses and Jumpsuits

Let this print do the talking with a beautiful dress or jumpsuit. These styles are perfect to 'throw on and go' in the spring and summer seasons, just pair with your favourite spring jacket and trainers or pumps, or sandals when the temperatures start to rise.

Make an outfit...

With so many pretty shades to choose from it will be easy to pair a top or bottoms in this fabric with solid colour fabrics. A blouse or top will be perfect matched with your favourite pair of jeans or trousers. Or choose a skirt to mix with a casual t-shirt, elegant camisole or cosy jumper for a piece you will wear all year round. 

Essential Sewing Tool

This month in the Inspire Bag you will receive a handy Seam Gauge from Jenerates. 

This nifty seam guide is useful for checking your seams and hems. Plus there's a cut out to mark a 45° angle, great for mitred corners or connecting bias binding strips together.  Made in 4mm cherry wood veneer - easy to pick up - and packaged in a hand-stamped glassine paper bag.

Find our tutorial here with tips for using this handy tool.

If you purchased a 2m option of Inspire bag and decide to make a garment requiring more  fabric, there will be Painted Foliage available for purchase by metre from Sunday 30th of March. 

We hope you will enjoy sewing with your Inspire Makers Club bag as much as we have enjoyed creating them.

Please send us photos of your finished garments or tag us on social media #LamaziMakersClub

We cannot wait to see your creations from this fabric.

Happy sewing!
