GBSB 2026 Final: Celebrating a Brilliant Series
The Sewing Bee has come to an end! We’re celebrating finalists Anna, Beth and Emma, congratulating this year’s winner and looking back on a wonderful series.
Deep and handsome without disappearing into navy, this British Millerain 9oz waxed cotton has a rich country blue tone and the characteristic matt, slightly rugged surface of a proper wax cloth. Made from 100% cotton with a traditional wax finish, it offers excellent water resistance, with rain readily beading on the surface rather than immediately soaking into the fabric.
The 9oz weight is a particularly useful one: substantial enough for a proper wax jacket, field coat, shooting jacket or gilet, yet still manageable for bags and practical outdoor accessories. It has plenty of body without becoming excessively cumbersome, and the waxed surface will naturally pick up creases and handling marks as it is worn, developing more character over time. Blue is always one of our most popular colours in waxed cotton, and this shade makes it very easy to see why.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
The roll price is £30 for postage. However, if you’re happy for it to be folded please proceed as normal. By folding it will come with crease marks on the folds.
