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.
This 152cm wide silk and cotton blend comes in a confident tangerine orange that immediately lifts a project. Woven from 71% silk and 29% cotton, it combines the subtle sheen and fluidity of silk with the gentle structure of cotton. At 110gsm, it’s lightweight with a soft, smooth handle and an elegant drape.
The surface feels refined without being slippery, making it easier to sew than pure silk while still delivering that unmistakable silk finish. Ideal for blouses, summer dresses, occasion tops or softly gathered skirts. The colour is bold but wearable - a warm orange that works beautifully against sun-kissed skin and neutral layers alike.
