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 cloth definately won't blend into the background. With its bold raspberry pink shade and chunky open crochet knit, this fabric is made for sunshine, holidays and making people ask, "Where did you get that?" It's exactly the sort of texture that's been popping up all over the high street, from oversized beach shirts to relaxed co-ords and statement cover ups. Knitted from a durable polyester and cotton blend, it has a lovely soft handle while keeping enough structure to show off its distinctive open design.
Although beachwear is the obvious choice, don't stop there. Layer it over a cami for an eye-catching top, create lightweight cardigans, festival pieces or an oversized throw-on for warm evenings. It's comfortable without being overly stretchy. It's certainly not your everyday fabric, but that's exactly why we like it. Sometimes the slightly unusual fabrics make the garments everyone remembers.
