Forget time management @paddygrant give me a skilled seamstress any day! This competition shouldn’t be about how quickly they sew but how well they sew, just give them a bit more time & have a few more finished features to relish #slowdowntosew #sewingisaskill #stitchandflourish

We were so glad to have you at The Bee, Fiona. We can't wait to see what you sew next. #SewingBee

Best ever first challenge for kids week, such a classic that will test their true sewing skills #GBSB #GreatBritishSewingBee

So it’s increasingly looking like we all might be glad of isolation activities! Come along to my Soulful Sewing hand sewing session @BTPclifton tomorrow evening 6-8pm to learn some simple embroidery stitches that will open up all sorts of creative possibilities.

This chain, which hangs at the waterline around most of the harbour is called the “life chain”. It provides something to hold onto if people fall in the water until rescue comes. I believe this is not just an interesting fact but something everyone in #Bristol should be aware of!

I still have spaces on my Cushion Cover - Beginner Sewing Skills workshop this Saturday.

If you have been thinking about learning to sew or getting back into sewing this would be a great starting point…

@alicecrumbs @cashmerette Also, would love to chat sewing if our paths ever cross when you are visiting Bristol - I’m a friend of your mum & dad.

@alicecrumbs Hi Alice, I’m not local to you as live in Bristol, where I teach sewing. Have you come across @cashmerette ? Her patterns are designed for us larger ladies & I find her blog very encouraging. Good luck with your sewing, it’s great to create unique clothes.

Had fun getting creative with flowers at church today, ready for our Easter Day celebrations.
Always lovely to get out the alter frontal that I made a few years ago.

Enjoyed teaching two beginner lessons today, this pin cushion project works so well for beginners to get to grips with controlling their sewing machines #learntosew #sewing Bristol #sewinglessons

Are you all caught up on the final of #SewingBee ? What did you think of series 5? I thought there were some great themes & challenges.
I hope series 6 starts with simpler projects to be more encouraging to new sewers & showcases skills & techniques as much as flair & speed!

[Sewing Bee @sewingbee]

Thanks for watching, thanks for tweeting, thanks to our sewers, our amazing production team, @paddygrant & Esme and the glorious @JoeLycett. 👏💐🥳 #SewingBee

[café sew|ci|ety @SewTeaCake]

Another great episode, loved that it highlighted Great British fabrics. Still wish they would give them longer - a coat in under 6 hours will never be finished to the level the sewist wishes it could be! Can’t help feeling we’re missing out on some beautiful finishes!

[Sewing Bee @sewingbee]

All the emotions.😢 Thanks for all the wonderful garments Janet. #SewingBee

[café sew|ci|ety @SewTeaCake]

Yes take up sewing folks, it’s a fantastic hobby & don’t worry it doesn’t always have to be that quick!!

[Sewbox @sewbox]

Sewing has many benefits, and thanks to the #SewingBee, millions of new people could be inspired to take up the craft 😊

Thank you, @sewingbee 👏

“Sleep well and sew” - hard to think of a better mantra! Sad to see Mercedes go #gbsb5 #SewingBee

[Simply Sewing @SimplySewing_]

"Sleep well and sew" what lovely closing wisdom from Mercedes & her nan #SewingBee

[café sew|ci|ety @SewTeaCake]

Love this idea, makes you realise how quickly the unused fabric from sewing projects builds up!
