Great Bristish Sewing Bee


The Great British Sewing Bee is back on the televison BBC2 9pm:)
 Great fun and real inspiration for those who want to get back into dressmaking or playing with their sewing machines and overlockers. We do lots of dressmaking, tailoring, alterations and sewing in the studio from beginners to those who want to learn that little bit more. We also have Rita who is a wiz at tailoring and I love the remakes, a recent one a vintage wedding dress to a cocktail dress and the off cuts into a Christening Gown.
I recommend the Great British Sewing Bee 'Sew Your Own Wardrobe', pattern book. (You can purchase by clicking the link below and it will take you through to Amazon).
Easy to follow instructions that take you through the capsule wardrobe, any size which is always needed because none of us fit off the coat hanger.
I am sooooo glad Patrick is still part of the presentors as he gives the polish and eye candy.
Esme the Fashion Guru and Jo Lycette gives it the humour and fills in the episodes, not sure how much he really knows about sewing though? He has nails that could rival mine at times:))) Without the sparkle though!

Sew Week One; All about Cotton:)

Wiggle Dress
Jeans Transformation
Cotton Jumpsuit

To obtain the pattern book and the Great British Sewing Bee Sewing Books, Click the link below, there are also great sewing patterns available, including jumpsuits:)))




*Remember there is a special at the moment for The Gutterman Sew All Threads. We use them in the studio for sewing absolutely everything and are great value.
Shop by clicking below and shopping on Amazon to get this great deal and help The Old Art Room.
