The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 28th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
Well, this was a nice surprise. Whilst having a tidy-up and a rummage around the shelves, we stumbled across another batch of this bestselling cotton shirting and thought it deserved a second chance in the spotlight. If you missed out the first time around, now's your opportunity.
Woven from 100% cotton and 146cm wide, this lightweight shirting features a fresh green ground overlaid with white, mustard yellow and deep red checks. It has a clean, crisp handle without feeling stiff and is just the sort of cloth that wouldn't look out of place at a country fair, a village cricket match or leaning on a gate discussing the weather. Smart enough for shirts and blouses yet relaxed enough for everyday wear, it's one of those fabrics that quietly gets on with looking good.
