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!

I'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.
