I have been looking forward to this for ages. I wanted to apply really but I am not allowed as I am no longer resident in the Uk plus I earn money from my sewing, boo hoo.

I really enjoyed the mix of people, it's nice to see emphasis put on fitting. I did feel sorry for the chap who as only ever sewed home furnishings, I hope he gets a chance to shine soon. Ann is my secret favourite so far, her good technical skill show up so much. Part two on Tuesday evening I hope someone You tube's it for everyone else who can't get Uk Tv. Depending on you time difference it might be possible to watch it on streaming via filmon.com The schedule is BBC2 on Tuesday

8pm Uk time and I believe there is a repeat on Saturday afternoon evening.

Off to carry on sewing flower related items. It's that time of year again. I'm getting prepared for my flower market at the end of the month. Last year we had the theme of Bees , this year the theme is much harder it's "On the route of saint jaques" this is the pilgrim walk to Saintiago di Compestella which passes near to us. !!! Brain is still trying to work out how to combine my clothes , flowers and the theme in a manner to make the stall attractive . I don't want to make items that I can't sell. Hey ho.

here you are episode 2

Thanks, I'll check it out in the next day or two!

Claire...Re: TV program. Here in the states we have a similiar one called Project Runway Audrey from southern NY..

We get that on Sky. I haven't seen it for a while. I hope it comes back. Project Runway it great but more focused on designers and a commercial or high fashion outcome. The Sewing Bee is a search for the best amateur sewer which is a great angle to get people interested in sewing. They did a similar program on baking and have started the sewing one because of the success of the bake off!! I prefer the sewing bee, it looks like being a very small/ short series however as it's already at the semi final after 2 episodes. I guess they are testing the waters.

Ok! I finally got to see episode 2 and very good! They do make me a nervous wreck though and I can almost sense the pressure they are under. I'm ready for episode 3!

Here you go. There will be tears!!

It's the final tomorrow night. I'm saying nothing about who stays or goes. Enjoy

OK! I finally got around to seeing episode 3 and as usual I was a nervous wreck. You'd think I was the one in this competition I get so carried away. Very good show and soooo interesting! I'm looking forward to the final show and to see who is crowned the best.

I know, I was shouting at the television at times. No 1 son came home in time to see me watching the final. much rolling of eyes when he saw the subjet matter of the rpogram folled by This is quite interesting 10 mins later!! Boys. i think it was the explanations of fit and patterns that appealed to him. Here's the final.

Sorry I didn't spell check that post at all.

Doncha hate it when that happens?

I loved the final episode and completely agree with the chosen winner.

I am in lower NY and I thank you for the TV show. I thoroughly enjoy it ( retired seamstress).
