GBSB 2021 7:9 - Technical Fabrics, Ripstop Nylon I Never Learned to Sew 2021-06-13 | The BBC's 'Great British Sewing Bee' is now a worldwide phenomenon with an enthusiastic multinational following.This abbreviated tutorial is taken from a popular series of conversational responses to each programme I filmed with Stuart at the Woolpatch (thewoolpatch.com)To see the full conversation follow this link on All Gathered Up' follow this link.youtube.com/watch?v=H78YyPuvcHQ&list=PLCOrlMmCOH8G_0UwqGRNH8yRqvpv8wfMk&index=3--------Contents of this video--------Time to pull together all we have learned during the past 8 weeks. Taking the inspiration from Episode 9 and the challenges of working with 'parachute silk -' or its more modern equivalent, 'rip-stop nylon, I have identified some of the techniques, and used them to create a new, specially crafted garment. Enjoy!0:00 Introduction0:13 Video content1:08 Overview of garment and techniques3:50 Fabric properties4:58 Gathering5:46 Using a casing to create gathers7:03 Facing and finishing11:29 Waxing the thread14:06 Complex junctions, snaps20:18 SummaryI'm a great fan of the Great British Sewing Bee. However, it seems that in this demanding competition, each episode is packed with challenges, some of which never quite reach a satisfactory resolution. We witness all the calamities along the way - misinterpreting the pattern; equipment breakdown; emotional meltdowns, first aid calls etc. - and all this compounded by the camera over each contender's shoulder. However, what would augment the programme further would be the technical mentoring to benefit both participants and those watching at home.This channel is intended for those of you at home who have a passion for sewing, particularly those who purchased new machines during lockdown! It's designed to help perfect your skills and techniques and to give you the confidence to improve the talents you already possess....and for this purpose, the Great British Sewing Bee is a perfect catalyst.Carol Alaynecarolalayne.cominstagram.com/carolalaynebespoke/?hl=eninstagram.com/ineverlearnedtosew/?hl=enNOTE: This channel is in no way affiliated to the BBC, The Great British Sewing Bee, or Love Productions. The intention is purely to help home stitchers.
