The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 28th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
This Italian ex-designer coating is a proper special one — a rich blend of 80% wool and 20% cashmere with a subtle diagonal weave that gives it a refined, tailored look. At 530gsm, it’s a weighty, warm fabric, ideal for coats that feel substantial without being stiff. The cashmere adds a softer, smoother hand, giving the fabric a bit of everyday luxury.
With a 145cm width and a clean, deep black colour, it’s the sort of fabric that works for classic overcoats, wrap coats, tailored jackets and smart winter layers. It sews beautifully, presses well, and has the quality you’d expect from Italian mills supplying high-end designers.
