If you enjoy sewing but haven’t yet checked out the Great British Sewing Bee, you really should. It’s a lot of fun. I just finished watching all four episodes on YouTube.
Unlike most other reality TV shows, there is little drama. Really, the only drama is to see how the folks will do up against the deadlines. None of that interpersonal nonsense and bad behavior that permeates other “reality” shows.
Instead, it’s all about the sewing. I had a lot fun imaging what I would do, given the same challenges. Dunno how my speed and quality would have stacked up, though. 😉 The judges are a Saville Row tailor and a renown sewing teacher and their comments are meaningful and helpful. Imagine that!
And the hostess is a hoot. She doesn’t know much about sewing and many of her comments are priceless.
Wish I lived in the UK, so I could apply for season two!
Anyhow, if you’re looking for something fun and sewing related it’s a nice TV break. 🙂
Happy creating!
I bet that is fun to watch! Gosh, that gent looks sharp! He must be the tailor. Yes, I think you’d hold your own on that show.
Yes, I can’t think of a better word to describe him than “sharp.” What’s astounding is that he has no formal training as a tailor; perhaps the degrees in science and engineering help?
And, yes, I WANT to be on this show. The personality stress of a show like Survivor I couldn’t handle, but I think I could manage this type of sewing stress… maybe. 😉
