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 colour that refuses to be ignored. This striking emerald green fabric combines the smooth drape of acetate with the natural luxury of silk, creating a cloth that feels elegant without being overly delicate. The rich jewel tone brings depth and vibrancy, making it a natural choice for occasionwear.
Lightweight yet substantial enough to hold its shape, it moves beautifully and catches the light softly rather than with a high shine. Perfect for slip dresses, bridesmaid dresses, blouses, flowing skirts and special occasion separates. The acetate content helps reduce creasing, while the silk adds softness and breathability, making it comfortable to wear from day into evening.
