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.
Elegant and understated, this silk crepe de chine comes in a beautiful petrol blue shade that sits somewhere between blue and slate, making it a versatile choice for both everyday wear and special occasions. Woven from 100% silk at 16 momme (70gsm), it combines lightness with durability, creating garments that drape beautifully while maintaining a refined structure.
Crepe de chine is one of the most versatile silk fabrics for dressmaking. Its softly textured matte surface offers a subtle alternative to silk satin, while the fluid drape lends itself perfectly to flowing silhouettes. Ideal for dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and tops, this fabric works beautifully in both modern minimalist designs and more romantic styles with gathers and soft movement. This is a limited deadstock fabric and will not be repeated once sold out.
