The Great British Sewing Bee

I was on Youtube, as usual, to find sewing instructions and tips and guess what I bumped into? 

The Great British Sewing Bee. Super LOVE!!! Here's their facebook page.

Now they're already showing Season 2. Basically, the reality show is a competition between home sewers sought from Britain. They range from sewers who are new to sewing, 1-2 years to those who had been sewing since they are kids. 

The judges are Patrick Grant (fashion designer and creative director of Norton & Sons of Savile Row) and May Martin. The competitors are given a few challenges each week which are following patterns, creativity & innovation, and materials challenge of course the hardest challenge for them all is time. 

The show weaves in some history on patterns, fabric, techniques, fashion and so many more... I always watch with some dream of being on the show. If only.... If I were to choose my favorite sewers, I think it would be Chinelo and Lynda. They're good!

My favorite part of the show is looking at their haberdashery. In case you are like me, who didn't know what a haberdashery is:

A haberdasher is a person who sells small articles for sewing, such as buttons, ribbons, zips, and other notions (in the United Kingdom^[1]) or a men's outfitter (American English^[2]). A haberdasher's shop or the items sold therein are called haberdashery. - Wikipedia

If you ever watch The Great British Bake Off, the idea behind the show is similar, only difference is baking instead of sewing. I must say,,, another one of my favorite reality show. My husband and I watch it all the time on HyppTv. (I'm not getting anything for promoting but yeah, we don't have Astro.) Much like loving Sewing Bee's Haberdashery, I LOVE the Bake Off's Kitchen... and their setup in a tent on a big yard. The results are also scrumptious looking.

Plane Tote

From May May Shop, this airplane fabric caught my eye. Got the panel and turned it into a a tote as below. Very Cute!

Bag taken by Shahira for her sister-in-law, hope she likes it!

Vintage Mannequin Bag for Shahira

Remember the girl who ordered this bag? Yes! Shahira. Well she wanted me to sew her another bag. 

So, I'd given her 2 websites to choose fabrics from: FabricFanatics or May May Shop. She choose the below "vintage mannequin" fabric from May May Shop. Definitely a unique design. I matched her chosen fabric with red polka dots and grey fabrics. Inside the bag, were 2 pockets and 1 zipper pocket. A vibrant bag indeed!!

 

Nursing Cover - Green/Pink Polka Dots

Following from the nursing cover that I made for Azreen, my dearest Vandy bestie, Dayana, ordered a nursing cover for her sister-in-law. 

 I loved the color. So soft for the mummy. The neck strap is adjustable, easy for the mummy to shorten/lengthen with one hand. 

It comes with 1 pocket just in case to put in pacifier or keys or whatever it is... at mummy's hand. 

I made an extra nursing cover for Dayana to choose from and ended up giving it to her. Which I made here: Nursing Cover - Orange Dots. :)
