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.
A black suiting fabric with a little extra comfort built in. Woven in a fine twill construction, this polyester, viscose and elastane blend has a smooth handle, excellent drape and a smart appearance that makes it suitable for both everyday workwear and more formal tailoring. The deep black colour gives garments a polished look, whilst the subtle stretch helps them remain comfortable throughout the day.
At 265gsm, this cloth has enough substance for structured garments without feeling overly heavy. The viscose content softens the handle and improves drape, while the elastane provides flexibility and recovery. An excellent choice for tailored trousers, skirts, dresses, jackets, blouses and modern suiting where comfort is just as important as appearance.
