SE03E03 THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE @thehandicraftchannel2469

The Handicraft Channel First aired on 21 Feb 2015/ The eight sewers are taken back in time to the 1950s when home sewing was at its height. Having transformed the sewing room in line with the era, judges Patrick Grant and May Martin have also tracked down one of the biggest-selling dressmaking patterns of the time - dubbed 'the walk-away dress' because you could 'start it after breakfast and walk away in it for luncheon!'. Next, the sewers enter the world of make do and mend when they are given a vintage gem which they must transform into a wearable garment. Finally, they face an ambitious made-to-measure challenge when they are asked to make a 1950s blouse in unforgiving sheer fabric. This delicate and fiddly fabric shows every stitch, both inside and out. There is nowhere to hide as the sewers struggle to control the most mobile of materials.
