| Great British Sewing Bee Have you watched the Great British sewing Bee? I have been totally engrossed with each show. When the first show was over, I couldn't wait for the next one to be downloaded to you tube.. [Yes , you girls that got to watch it on TV, I was jealous of you.. ha] Each contestant , was so nice and so talented. And I loved that they used patterns to make their garments, and then they had episodes of hand sewing.. It was fun from beginning to the end!!! I was also impressed that they had all types and ages of contestants.. So nice! Did you pick a contestant that you wanted to win? I did, before I saw the first show, I knew Tilly was going to be on there, and I totally was putting her on my winning team!! She was fantastic!! But , do you know what? When I saw the first show, and all the contestants were on there, I could NOT choose one. That is odd for me, I always have a "PICK".. but, all of them were so nice, and so talented, that you couldn't choose "just one" , You want everyone of them to win. But...there had to be a final winner and I was thrilled to see this person , be Ann.. She is 81 yrs old and appeared to be so talented, and such a gracious winner. Hooray to Ann!!! |

| Ann with her trophy!! Isn't she adorable? Have you seen the show? If not, check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPkQ3fmf6Rk How did you feel about it, how did you feel about the contestants? Who were you rooting for? Will you watch the next series? Would love to hear your feed back.. Happy sewing to each of you.. |
I haven't watched the show, but the blogosphere is abuzz talking about it. I guess I just do not have the time to spare.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry , you have not had a chance to watch it.. It is a really nice quality show.. However, I do so understand the lack of time..[sad , we stay so busy , isn't it]. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Judy and think everyone was talented in their own way. I'm pleased that Ann won though because, after all, the judges were looking for the best sewer, which she clearly was. It's all been very exciting to watch. I was having a conversation with a lady in a fabric shop and we were both saying how great it was to have a programme like this and not another cookery show, which is all we seem to have on British TV these days ...
ReplyDeleteDiane, I know that you all must be so proud of this show. It was so nice and well done.. I totally enjoyed each show, and am looking so forward to the 2014 shows..
DeleteWe have a lot of cooking shows here too.. I like them... but would love to see more sewing related shows. We have Project runway.. But, I much prefer the British sewing bee.
I am very happy that Ann won and it all had to do with the fact that when she was observed(especially by a sewing teacher of 40 years) her skills were spot on. She didn't believe in skipping important details/steps. Simply divine!
ReplyDeleteDorothy...so well said...Simply Devine!!!
DeleteI sat down for an hour this afternoon and watched the first episode! It's great! Thanks for telling about it...can't wait to watch the rest : )
ReplyDeleteEva Girl.. so proud you got to watch it.. Each show is just wonderful. They all seem to be such wonderful contestants. Very nice to each other.
DeleteWOW! I have never heard of this!! I am definitely going to check it out!!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!!! :D
Stacy, I can't wait for you to see it.. It is such a nice sewing show.. Let me know, after you have watched it..
DeleteOh my! Thank you for the sharing! What an excellent show...learned more, too. Sure beats Project Runway.
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better that England and sewing, and a spot of tea thrown in?
So proud you enjoyed the show [I did too]. I agree , so much better than PR..
DeleteI just love all my England friends. Such nice people.. and this show, just tells how sweet they are. Everyone was so sweet to each other.. You just couldn't root for anyone person, because you loved all of them.ha
Ooo yes I have been watching this, I missed the first programme and caught up on the internet. I have not been doing much sewing of late but this show certainly inspired me to start sewing again!
ReplyDeleteI thought Ann would win from the very beginning, don't get me wrong I was very impressed with the talent of the other sewers but Ann clearly was the most talented stitcher, her work was perfect and also she is such a lovely lady.
It must have been tough performing in front of the cameras like that, I think I would crack under the pressure!
I will be visiting Lauren's new shop in Birmingham, can't wait to see that, just wish I could have got there for the grand opening on Saturday.
OH how fun to get to go to Lynn's shop. I know this will be a treat for you. I loved the show too.. Such nice people. And I agree, they all did wonderful with the camera on them... Thank you for visiting my blog.
DeleteHi Judy, sorry to hear you're not well and hope you get better soon. Don't worry about when you get the virtual meet stuff to me. I can feature it when you're better and it will be great to have you there. Just send me an email when you can with info and a photo. Anyway, thinking about you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane, I am going to the doctor tomorrow, so hopefully, I will be better soon. I will get the stuff to you ,as soon as I get a photo of me "eating,lol".
DeleteThis was so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing the link. Now I would like to go back and see the episodes I missed.
ReplyDelete:-)
So proud you got to watch it. I loved it too.. Hope you get to see the other 3 shows.. everyone of them are so good.. I hear next year, they will do it again.. I can't wait..
