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.
This open crochet knit features a warm sand shade that looks right at home beside sun loungers, straw hats and a good paperback. The airy mesh construction gives it texture without weight, making it an easy choice for those throw-on pieces that somehow end up being worn every single day. Made from a durable polyester and cotton blend, it combines natural softness with practical durability, while the neutral colour works with just about every swimwear and summer wardrobe.
Beachwear might be its natural habitat, but don't underestimate it. It would make fantastic oversized shirts, relaxed cardigans, beach dresses, festival layers or contemporary cover ups that look just as good wandering through a seaside market as they do heading for the pool. With gentle stretch for comfort and a design that's very much on trend this season, it's one of those fabrics that quietly makes everything look more expensive.
