The Great British Sewing Bee had started its third series so be warned! I was addicted to the first two, bought both the books, and tried out some of the patterns.
Let’s just say that I am a little ‘inexperienced’ at the moment, and also the patterns do not seem to be designed for my shape at all! (Ok, I’m just rubbish at it)!
Of course now that it is back on again, I have renewed interest in all things home-sewn and once I have bought this new book, I will be desperate to make some of the amazing garments from the show.
There will be no end of swearing,stomping about and unpicking, but maybe, just maybe I will actually produce something that I can wear, or is useful this time! So beware, I might even post a picture one day if anything turns out right!

Best of luck! I’ve never been good at garments.

I thought I read in one of your previous posts that you made matching dresses for you and Miss Hap last summer. That sounds pretty complicated to me! I’m sure it will turn out great! 🙂

This is where I wonder… all that studying we did at school… what happened with all that knowledge… I can’t remember how to thread up a sewing machine now!

By the time I had decided to get into sewing a couple of years ago, i also couldn’t remember how to do it, or how to read a pattern properly.

Gosh…you sew too? I took quilting class once and produced a wall hanging…..very basic. I’m also quite adept at pillowcases. Afraid that’s about the extent of my “expertise.” Would very much like to see what you come up with!

Beautiful, yes, but……I’ve decided I need to wait until I have a calmer lifestyle and no kids at home anymore…..I got through that one wall hanging and had start of a quilt, but it’s just never happened….quilting demands fierce concentration, planning, and a whole lot of time….all those things are in short supply at this point over here. But someday……

Yes, I can imagine that it demands a lot of time and concentration. At least you have have the skill to do it, when you get the chance 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
