Sewing Bee is back! next week I think ??

Yes, I enjoy any sort of craft show too, whether it be baking, sewing or pottery.
Anything is better than the interminable ridiculous quiz shows that they keep inventing, often with famous people who I've never heard of grin

Speaking as one who struggles to sew on a button, I love sewing bee too. I am in awe of people that can produce wearable garments with the aid of a sewing machine. Needlework was my nemesis at school. Our sewing teacher told me that a blind cow could walk straighter than I could sew a seam!

I don’t see much now but I love this programme and can’t wait for it to start. I don’t do pottery either but really enjoy the Pottery Throwdown and enjoy watching the Repair shop. Give me a craft based show any day instead of the dreary soaps. There should be a campaign for more crafty tv

Love this programme!

I used to sew a long time ago but was never very good and gave it up when I lost the foot pedal to my sewing machine in a house move grin

However, Patrick and Esme are just great and Joe Lycett is a funny fool and makes me laugh.

Cannot wait. I was glued to Pottery Throwdown and need this to take its place

I loved it till Joe appeared, I don’t watch it anymore.

Oh good. I have missed the Great Pottery Throw Down so this will fill the gap nicely. My needlework teacher at Grammar School informed me that I held a needle like a cow with a poker!

It returns on April 14th at 9pm. Really looking forward to it!

It's on BBC1 this time. Moved from BBC2.

It will be good to see Esme and Patrick back. Love the programme. Nearly as good as Throw Down wink.

Really looking forward to the new series. They seem to get better and better. Such a joy to watch talented people and enjoy the banter.

I love this programme too. I have dusted off the sewing machine and made face masks ? but that is the height of my ability.

Another here who doesn’t sew now but really enjoys this programme. It’s a joy to see the skill and creativity.

I'm ridiculously excited about this! I don't sew and have never followed a pattern but I love this programme. Patrick is gorgeous and I love Esme

Kamiso Sat 03-Apr-21 18:04:19

Love this programme. Can barely turn a hem up but enjoy watching these clever people.

Deedaa Sat 03-Apr-21 18:02:31

I love it. I used to make a lot of clothes but all I do now is occasional alterations. I love seeing what the contestants come up with and I love the way they all help each other.

annodomini Sat 03-Apr-21 17:55:47

I really enjoy watching people doing things I couldn't do to save my self! The contestants are so brave and amazingly creative.

Dottydots Sat 03-Apr-21 17:51:02

This is one of my favourite shows. Although I used to make a lot of my clothes, I couldn't do it now, and I am amazed at what lovely and imaginative stuff the contestants turn out.

BladeAnnie Sat 03-Apr-21 17:39:35

Ooh good - I love this smile

Lucca Sat 03-Apr-21 17:37:17
