Sewing Bee! (104/365)

[white_hart]

I never watched The Great British Sewing Bee until last year's series, but somehow it was the perfect gentle but compelling TV to get me through last spring's lockdown. (The fact that I'd just got much more into sewing, rather than thinking of it as something I'd like to be able to do but found stressful, probably helped too.)

Anyway, I am very much looking forward to the new series starting tonight, and am even planning to skip my Zoom knitting group to watch it live. (I do enjoy my knitting group, but it's at 9pm to fit with the schedules of the people who are parents of young children, and I often feel that that's a bit late to be starting something social, especially when work has involved lots of talking to people on computer screens anyway.)

A new series! Fantastic! I will watch it on catch-up and set my recorder to record.

It is definitely going to be a highlight of the next few weeks.

My favourite moment was Patrick completely losing it over the two transformations. I really loved the winning dress.

Oh, goodness, yes. Though honestly, I didn't think the cats were so bad, but maybe he was primed after the trousers, which absolutely were.

Isn't it a lovely series? I found it a few years ago and I love it.

It's an utter joy.

That was a lot of drama for the first episode! The transformation trousers AND multiple people having meltdowns? It bodes well.

Oh my goodness, the trousers were hilarious! I really hope Damien goes out soon, though, as I don't like him at all.

I love Sewing Bee - it's such a friendly show. And I'm sure watching it is what persuaded Pete to buy me a sewing machine for my birthday one year.
