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 warm orange and soft-white cotton voile features a tropical leaf design that has a relaxed Mediterranean feel, perfect for summer sewing. The rich, sun-baked colour gives the fabric warmth without feeling heavy, making it a lovely alternative to brighter tropical prints.
The lightweight voile feels beautifully soft against the skin and drapes naturally into comfortable everyday clothing. It's ideal for easy shirt dresses, oversized blouses, wide-leg trousers, matching co-ords or a simple beach cover-up. An uncomplicated fabric that looks stylish whether you're at home or on holiday.
