Great British Sewing Bee – Episode 1
April 7, 2013
Has anyone been watching Great British Sewing Bee? It’s currently airing on BBC2 in the UK and Europe. Thanks for a tip from Margot on our FB page, we can view the first episode on Youtube.
Ps. Lovely Tilly from Tilly and the Buttons is one of the sewers/contestant!

Yes, loved it!
OO! How cool was that.
I'm sitting here comparing my abilities to theirs.
And how dashing is Patrick!!
Yes I am making my husband watch it whilst we are in Europe … Great they are encouraging people to sew …though I still prefer project runway …

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's on in the UK and not just England! 🙂
And yes, it's a great show!
Thank you Helen. Well apparently it's airing in Europe as well, as Sheryl also points out via email
I watched it here in Oz via utube! Thanks for the link to the BBC site. It will be interesting to see whether contestants with great skills can free up their design neurons or whether the more creative souls can overcome their rudimentary/simplistic skills and understandings.
I enjoyed the focus on the tasks and the process, as opposed to the staged 'action' that is often a feature of some of the food based shows that are being dished up. I am looking forward to the next episode. ABC take note; a local Australian version would be great.
Yes and can't wait for the next show!
Oh Loved this , I have just emailed the ABC asking them to consider something like that here . Come on people send in an email to Auntie!!!
Good on you Mem, I did the same!
I agree let's all email the ABC to consider airing this show.
Or BBC2 to come here and fim their next series here in Australia.
Way behind the rest of you, but just managed finally to see the first episode of this programme. Am hooked! Yes, would be great over here to highlight the many brilliant sewers in Australia too. Great fun! Wil see the other 2 episodes this week. Many thx for doing this.
