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 beautifully textured crochet effect knit combines soft cream with rich burnt orange, plum purple and delicate blush pink stripes to create a warm, vintage inspired palette. The openwork construction gives it the appearance of hand crocheting while remaining soft, lightweight and comfortable to wear. It has a lovely relaxed drape that makes it ideal for creating stylish layering pieces with plenty of character.
Made from a practical blend of cotton and polyester, this fabric offers the natural feel of cotton with the added durability and easy care of polyester. The open knit structure means it benefits from a little extra care during sewing, making it better suited to confident beginners or experienced dressmakers. We recommend using a ballpoint or stretch needle, a walking foot where possible, and stabilising hems and shoulder seams with clear elastic or tape to prevent stretching while sewing. It is perfect for cardigans, beach cover ups, oversized tops, lightweight jumpers, ponchos and relaxed dresses worn over a slip or lining.
