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.
Bold terracotta water resistant canvas brings a much warmer more design-led feel to outdoor fabrics. The rich earthy reddish-brown tone feels inspired by sunbaked clay and Mediterranean interiors, making it perfect for projects that need practicality without losing warmth or style. It’s a lovely alternative to standard greys and navies often seen in outdoor sewing.
The PU coated polyester construction gives the fabric durability and water resistance whilst still keeping it manageable to sew on a domestic machine. At 225gsm it has a sturdy feel with enough body for structured bags, outdoor cushions, seat covers and utility projects, whilst the woven texture adds strength and a slightly canvas-like appearance. Practical, wipeable and surprisingly stylish all at once.
This fabric meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Please note: this material is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. It will repel light rain but should not be left exposed to heavy or prolonged weather conditions.
This fabric is available in a number of different shades, click here to see all the colours.
