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.
Black cotton drill is one of those fabrics that quietly gets on with the job. Woven with a classic twill construction, it has a smooth finish, good structure and the durability you'd expect from a hardworking cotton cloth. This particular black drill has enough body for trousers and utility-style garments whilst remaining comfortable to wear.
A reliable choice for everything from workwear-inspired jackets and overshirts to dungarees, skirts, aprons and bags. The deep black colour gives it a smart, versatile look that works just as well for everyday wardrobe staples as it does for practical sewing projects. As with many dark cotton fabrics, some surface dye transfer may occur before the first wash.
Please note: We recommend pre-washing before cutting out as some shrinkage may occur. Darkly dyed fabrics may also release excess dye during initial washes.
