Great British Sewing Bee

Over the past few weeks I've been eagerly watching The Great British Sewing Bee. I've never watched the Great British Bake Off so I can't give my opinion on the comparison of the two. But what I did love was how they made sewing seem fun and easy. I can just imagine the people of Britain watching the television thinking "ooh I could do that!"

This has also inspired me to make a dress for an upcoming wedding. I've used SewDirect and signed up for their magazine at just £7.50 every third month. For your money you get the magazine, two free Vogue patterns and half price patterns, bargain! especially given that a pattern can cost anything up to £14ish.

What I loved most about the GBSB was the fact they had people from all walks of life. This programme wasn't just about sewing, it was about getting people back doing things of creativity, making things from scratch and enjoying the things they made.

So, what did you think of the GBSB? Did you enjoy it? Do you think the right person won? I'm not going to put who won here in case those of you reading haven't seen the programme yet. But my favourite person, I loved them from the moment we first saw them, was the one to win. Hurray!
