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 stretch crepe suiting fabric combines a smooth matte finish with a soft, fluid drape and enough body for beautifully tailored garments. Woven in a deep forest green, it offers a timeless look that's equally suited to everyday tailoring and occasion wear. At 220gsm, it has the weight to create crisp, structured silhouettes while remaining comfortable to wear.
Made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane, this fabric has 5% stretch in both directions, providing extra comfort without compromising shape. Ideal for trouser suits, fitted blazers, tailored dresses, pencil skirts, waistcoats and smart separates, it's an excellent choice for sewing garments that look polished and feel comfortable all day.
