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 vibrant viscose challis featuring painterly blocks of colour in bright pink, cobalt blue, sunshine yellow, coral, orange and soft blush tones. The patchwork-style design has the look of a hand-painted canvas, bringing plenty of energy and personality to your sewing projects.
Made from 100% viscose, this fabric has a smooth, silky handle and the beautiful drape that makes challis such a favourite for dressmaking. It hangs softly without clinging, creating garments that feel comfortable and effortless to wear. Perfect for summer dresses, floaty skirts, blouses, and relaxed wide-leg trousers, this fabric works best in simple styles that let the colourful print take centre stage. Pair with plain knitwear, denim jackets, or solid-coloured separates for an easy wardrobe statement.
