The Great British Sewing Bee

Love this show!!!! PLEASE COME TO AMERICA!!! If we have the GBBaking Show, why not the Sewing Bee!!!

Love, love, love this show. Watching such lovely people build friendships and support each other's growth and I learn heaps about sewing techniques and material, get tips and ideas. More shows should be this lovely.

Amateur sewers compete and watch. Great to see skills improvement over the weeks but some episodes would benefit to a change in format where competitors and viewers get a masterclass in a particular technique which can then be used going forward.. cutting a difficult pattern, making a toile, draping, fitting. That would help competitors progress and provide inspiration for viewers. Previous competitors had some very skilled sewers but this group very different so lessons would have helped all to unskilled in this series and going forward. Of benefit to basic sewers in the audience this time round too.

I love Sewing Bee, and I think the new series is excellent. Joe Lycett does a great job bringing humour and Esme and Patrick are fabulous. The competition is very friendly which is nice, though I wish there was a proper prize at the end really. Very informative, I like the fashion history as well.

This is a wonderful alternative to the mindless dross that is often passed off as entertainment. The presenters and contestants are friendly and fun and the sewing process is remarkably interesting even to a non-sewing person like me. This is an opportunity to relax, have a laugh and wind down. Excellent.
