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.
Super wide, beautifully smooth and far more useful than plain black jersey might first suggest, this 100% cotton jersey is one of those fabrics that earns its place in the stash. The black is deep and clean, with a fine, neat knitted surface and a soft handle that gives it a smarter finish than your average everyday T-shirt jersey. At 150gsm, it is lightweight without feeling flimsy, while the generous 171cm width gives you an impressive amount of cloth to work with.
There is a good stretch across the width, plus some natural mechanical give in the other direction, making it comfortable without being overly springy or clingy. Think T-shirts, long-sleeved tops, relaxed dresses, lightweight skirts, pyjamas, layering pieces and children's clothing; it would also make a very useful black basic for colour blocking, cuffs and contrast panels. Plain black may not shout for attention, but when the cloth is this soft, versatile and extraordinarily wide, it really doesn't need to.
