The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 14th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
At first glance this looks like a classic black suiting, but look a little closer and the cloth begins to reveal its character. Woven with a tiny diamond check pattern within the surface, the design is subtle enough to remain smart and professional whilst adding depth and texture that plain black fabrics simply can't match. The result is a cloth that feels traditional, refined and unmistakably British.
Made from a blend of polyester and wool, this suiting combines the warmth and handle of wool with the durability and crease resistance of polyester. The soft finish gives it a comfortable feel and elegant drape, making it particularly suitable for tailored trousers, jackets, skirts and formalwear. At approximately 373gsm, it has a reassuring weight and substance that lends itself beautifully to garments designed to hold their shape and wear well for years to come.
