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 soft stretch needlecord has fine wale ribs and a gently brushed finish that gives it a wonderfully cosy handle. The painterly batik-inspired print blends warm caramel, honey, cream and soft olive tones into an abstract design that feels relaxed and earthy. With comfortable stretch across the width, it moves beautifully while keeping the classic texture and character of needlecord.
At around 315gsm, this is a substantial dressmaking fabric that's ideal for autumn and winter wardrobes. Perfect for relaxed trousers, overshirts, pinafores, jackets, dungarees or skirts, it has just enough stretch for comfort while still holding its shape. It's easy to sew, comfortable to wear and has a lovely lived-in look that only gets better once made up.
