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 137cm wide viscose linen stripe is one of those fabrics that immediately puts you in a summer frame of mind. Woven with yarn-dyed stripes in soft candyfloss pinks, raspberry, mustard, plum and warm ivory, it has far more character than a printed stripe. The linen gives it a lightly textured, natural look, while the viscose softens everything beautifully, creating an easy drape that feels relaxed rather than crisp.
At 160gsm it's a brilliant all-round dressmaking fabric for warmer weather. It would make gorgeous co-ords, relaxed shirts, wide-leg trousers, shorts, skirts and simple dresses where the stripe can really shine. The palette feels cheerful without being loud, giving it a slightly vintage holiday feel that's easy to wear year after year.
