The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 28th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
This Italian ex-designer check is a fine, lightweight woven cotton with a touch of stretch, ideal for shirts, blouses and easy everyday sewing. The small blue-and-white check keeps it classic, while the soft handle and slight give make it comfortable to wear and simple to work with.
Made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, this fabric drapes well without feeling flimsy. At 45gsm and 135cm wide, it’s perfect for lightweight tops, gathered styles, summer dresses and layering pieces. A great choice if you like crisp shirting fabrics but want something with a bit more movement.
