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.
Built for movement, this technical stretch fabric combines strength, flexibility and comfort in one smart black cloth. Made from 88% nylon and 12% spandex, it has a smooth, lightly textured finish with excellent recovery, allowing garments to move with you and retain their shape wear after wear.
Lightweight but supportive, this fabric is ideal for activewear, leggings, fitted tops, gym wear and dancewear. The high stretch content provides a close, comfortable fit without feeling restrictive, while the nylon blend adds durability and moisture resistance. Whether you're sewing workout clothing, running gear or everyday athleisure pieces, this fabric offers the performance and comfort you'd expect from a quality sportswear fabric.
