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, versatile and surprisingly practical, this grey habotai silk is woven from 100% silk and finished with a smooth surface and subtle lustre. At just 55gsm, it's wonderfully lightweight while retaining the strength and durability that make habotai such a popular choice for both garments and linings.
The soft grey shade offers endless versatility, working beautifully as a luxury lining for jackets, coats and skirts, or as a fabric in its own right for blouses, scarves and lightweight dresses. Fluid, breathable and comfortable against the skin, it's a timeless silk you'll find countless uses for.
