GBSB 2026 Final: Celebrating a Brilliant Series
The Sewing Bee has come to an end! We’re celebrating finalists Anna, Beth and Emma, congratulating this year’s winner and looking back on a wonderful series.
Lightweight but with a noticeable waxed character, this British Millerain 6oz waxed cotton is a brilliant choice when you want the performance and look of traditional wax cloth without the weight of a heavier coating. Made from 100% cotton, it has a smooth, supple handle with a generous wax finish that gives the surface real character and encourages water to bead readily. The green hue is a deep, muted outdoorsy shade, sitting somewhere between dark olive and earthy khaki.
At 6oz, this is particularly good for layering pieces where a heavier 8oz or 9oz waxed cotton could feel like too much. Think lightweight field jackets, overshirts, shackets, utility jackets, gilets and practical outdoor layers worn over a shirt, sweatshirt or knitwear. The waxed surface will naturally develop creases and marks with handling and wear, adding to its character over time. Proper waxed-cotton attitude, just in a lighter package.
⚠️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.
