GBSB Ep 1 Inspiration : Summer Fabrics & Patterns
Summer shorts, transformed bags and made-to-measure outfits. Find fabrics, patterns and sewing tips inspired by Episode 1 of The Great British Sewing Bee.
Inspired by traditional field jackets and country pursuits, this British-made waxed cotton features a muted camouflage design in earthy khaki, olive green and rich brown. The softly blended colours create a subtle, understated pattern that feels more heritage than military, making it equally suited to country clothing, workwear and everyday outerwear.
At approximately 148cm wide and weighing 8oz (around 400gsm), this fabric has a reassuringly substantial handle with the weather-resistant qualities waxed cotton is known for. It offers protection from light rain and wind whilst remaining breathable, making it an excellent choice for jackets, coats, bags and hard-wearing accessories built to last.
The soft matt waxed finish develops character over time, with every crease, fold and scuff contributing to a unique patina that reflects how the fabric has been worn. Finished in the UK by British Millerain, it's a timeless cloth that combines practical outdoor performance with classic British craftsmanship.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
The roll price is £30 for postage. However, if you’re happy for it to be folded please proceed as normal. By folding it will come with crease marks on the folds.
