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 beautiful navy blue viscose dress fabric has the sort of quality that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Smooth to the touch with a fluid drape, it hangs effortlessly and has a smart, polished appearance that makes even simple garments look considered and expensive. The rich French navy shade is softer and more interesting than a standard navy, offering a timeless colour that works across seasons.
Sourced as ex-designer deadstock and available in very limited quantities, this is a fabric worth snapping up while you can. Lightweight yet substantial enough to sew with confidence, it's ideal for dresses, blouses, skirts and wide-leg trousers where movement and drape are key. Once it's gone, it's gone.
