GBSB Ep8 Inspiration: Stitched from the Page
From Sherlock Holmes tweeds and reworked school uniforms to romantic Jane Austen dresses, explore the fabrics that inspired Literary Icons Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A fresh apple green waxed cotton with a smooth handle and a bright, cheerful look.
Woven from cotton and measuring around 154cm wide, this cloth has a light wax finish that gives it gentle water resistance while keeping the fabric flexible and easy to sew. It has a slightly crisp feel at first but softens nicely with use, developing the character that makes waxed cotton such a favourite for practical makes. A great choice for jackets, bags, aprons or anything that benefits from a sturdy cotton with a bit of attitude.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
Waxed cotton is traditionally dry cleaned. If the fabric is washed the wax coating may be reduced and the fabric may require reproofing.
