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.
Rich, warm and effortlessly sophisticated, this silk crepe de chine comes in a deep mocha brown shade that brings a refined, contemporary feel to any wardrobe. Woven from 100% silk at 16 momme (70gsm), it offers the perfect balance of lightness and durability, creating garments with beautiful movement while maintaining a graceful structure.
Crepe de chine is one of the most versatile silk fabrics for dressmaking. Its softly textured matte surface provides an understated elegance that works beautifully across both casual and occasionwear styles. Perfect for flowing dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and tops, this fabric drapes beautifully while retaining enough body for gathers, soft pleats and relaxed tailoring. This is a limited deadstock fabric and will not be repeated once sold out.
