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.
Skulls in sombreros, oversized flowers and plenty of attitude make this 100% cotton fabric anything but ordinary. Set against a deep black ground, the detailed print combines warm terracotta, burnt orange and red with turquoise, sage and fresh green. There's a definite Day of the Dead influence, while the cloth is also Oeko-Tex certified, giving this wonderfully bold print another point in its favour.
Made for the sort of statement shirt that does all the talking, this 150cm-wide cotton would be brilliant for men's short-sleeved shirts, bowling shirts and relaxed overshirts, as well as shirt dresses, skirts and children's pieces. Quilters and crafters shouldn't feel left out either – bags, cushions, patchwork and anything needing a bit of personality would work beautifully. Subtle it isn't, but frankly, if you're wearing skulls in sombreros, subtle probably wasn't the plan.
