The Great British Sewing Bee has been an incredible and unexpected success. Made on the same principles as The Great British Bake Off, this series has attracted 3 million viewers for its first final. A third series has been commissioned for our greatest pleasure. Even Alison Graham, the editor-in-chief of Radio Times declared she preferred it to The Great British Bake Off which was quite a declaration to make. I much prefer it too.
What I like about it is the mixture of people who are competing, the surprising creations, the level of skills demonstrated, the variety of challenges, and the personalities of the two judges. Claudia Winkleman is a brilliant, lively and friendly presenter, and the space where the competition is filmed is a place wonder.
So, for all the fans out there, I have a sewing kit on sale which may either encourage you or a friend to take up sewing. It is printed on a 60's inspired sewing themed design and includes a sewing bag, a pin cushion and a needle book. The whole set costs £11, the items sold separately £4 each.
