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.
Bold, expressive and impossible to overlook, this striking Italian silk features sweeping painterly stripes in vibrant shades of fiery orange, coral, raspberry pink, sunshine yellow and ivory. The flowing abstract design has an almost hand-painted quality, creating movement across the fabric that makes every cut unique. Contemporary yet timeless, it's a statement print that lends itself beautifully to garments designed to stand out.
Woven in Italy from 100% silk, this exceptional ex-designer fabric has a wonderfully smooth handle with a refined natural lustre rather than a high shine. At approximately 40gsm, it is beautifully light and airy, flowing effortlessly with an elegant drape that enhances the movement of the bold abstract print. Perfect for luxurious blouses, flowing dresses, kaftans, scarves, overlays and occasion wear, this is genuine Italian designer deadstock offering exceptional quality and originality in limited quantities.
