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.
Smooth, substantial and beautifully finished, this British Millerain 8oz waxed cotton brings a smarter edge to traditional outdoor cloth. Made from 100% cotton in a deep black, it has a clean, smooth surface with just the right amount of wax to give it a practical water-resistant finish without feeling overly greasy or heavily coated. The black makes it particularly versatile, keeping all the rugged character of waxed cotton but giving it a much sharper, more contemporary appearance.
At 8oz, it has enough body for proper outerwear without becoming cumbersome, making it brilliant for smart field jackets, utility coats, gilets, chore jackets, bags and everyday outdoor wear. This is the one for dressing your outdoor gear up a bit – practical enough for muddy walks, but smart enough that you don't necessarily have to look like you're heading out ploughing.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
The roll price is £30 for postage. However, if you’re happy for it to be folded please proceed as normal. By folding it will come with crease marks on the folds.
