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.
Bright, bold and very difficult to ignore, this 8oz waxed cotton is a brilliant change from the traditional olives, browns and navies we usually see in wax cloth. The colour is a proper vivid pillar-box red, beautifully saturated and clean, with a smooth surface and a much drier handle than heavily waxed finishes. Made from 100% cotton, it has the practical water-resistant qualities of waxed cloth without feeling overly greasy or sticky to work with.
At 8oz, it has enough body for outerwear while remaining flexible enough for comfortable everyday pieces. That standout red would make a fabulous wax jacket, field coat, gilet, utility jacket, dog coat, apron or bag, particularly if you fancy something rather less predictable than country green. At 150cm wide, there is plenty to play with too. Waxed cotton doesn't often arrive looking this cheerful, and we rather like it for that.
⚠️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.
