The Great British Sewing Bee – Round 2

Thats right, you heard me correctly, our favourite TV Programme is back! To keep us all entertained for the next eight weeks, starting on Tuesday 18th February on BBC Two, we will be introduced to 10 of Britain’s top amateur sewers, competing in three challenges to test their sewing skills, time management and ability to cope under pressure. Presented by Claudia Winkleman, the sewers will be scrutinised by her and expert judges, Patrick Grant and May Martin, as they tackle three commonplace, but often notoriously tricky, fabrics in Tuesday’s episode: cotton; wool and silk. Tune in on Tuesday to see who masters the constructions of a cotton tunic top, who excels in the alteration of a simple woollen skirt and who is victorious with their made-to-measure silk nightgown! Its a great show to provide inspiration, hints and tips and most of all MOTIVATION to finally dust off the sewing machine and delve into the wondrous depths of home sewing!

Surrounded by all the gorgeous printed cottons, threads and exquisite trimmings, its hard not to turn into the Green Eyed Monster, but remember that here at William Gee, we’re always on hand to give you our expert advice, and as we supply the materials for the show, we can provide you with all the materials you need for your next Sewing Bee inspired venture!

The Great British Sewing Bee, Tuesday 18th, BBC Two, 8pm.
