Oh, one other thing - Great British Sewing Bee

[lexin]

Who else is watching and enjoying The Great British Sewing Bee?

I love it to bits.

Every single rookie mistake those people have made, I've made at some stage up to and including not reading the pattern properly and putting a zip in wrong and taking on a project too complicated for me. I've even made some mistakes they haven't managed yet.

I'm wondering if they'll make them sew using knitted rather than woven cloth in the semi final, because they were full of doom and gloom about how difficult it is to sew silk and satin, but I've found jersey much, much harder to cope with.

Any comments?

Sewing? Gah! I 'did' it at school and by the time I finished anything (getting it wrong, unpicking, redoing) I hated the very sight of it. There was one blouse in particular - all I had left to do was sew on the buttons and I never did - all too much and I really really didn't want to wear it. Jigsaws are about as crafty as I want to get.

Oh, dear. I enjoy sewing, but I agree it's not for everyone.
