Forget time management @paddygrant give me a skilled seamstress any day! This competition shouldn’t be about how quickly they sew but how well they sew, just give them a bit more time & have a few more finished features to relish #slowdowntosew #sewingisaskill #stitchandflourish – at Bristol, England
Best ever first challenge for kids week, such a classic that will test their true sewing skills #GBSB #GreatBritishSewingBee – at Bristol, England
So it’s increasingly looking like we all might be glad of isolation activities! Come along to my Soulful Sewing hand sewing session @BTPclifton tomorrow evening 6-8pm to learn some simple embroidery stitches that will open up all sorts of creative possibilities.

This chain, which hangs at the waterline around most of the harbour is called the “life chain”. It provides something to hold onto if people fall in the water until rescue comes. I believe this is not just an interesting fact but something everyone in #Bristol should be aware of!
I still have spaces on my Cushion Cover - Beginner Sewing Skills workshop this Saturday.
If you have been thinking about learning to sew or getting back into sewing this would be a great starting point…

Had fun getting creative with flowers at church today, ready for our Easter Day celebrations.
Always lovely to get out the alter frontal that I made a few years ago.

Enjoyed teaching two beginner lessons today, this pin cushion project works so well for beginners to get to grips with controlling their sewing machines #learntosew #sewing Bristol #sewinglessons
Are you all caught up on the final of #SewingBee ? What did you think of series 5? I thought there were some great themes & challenges.
I hope series 6 starts with simpler projects to be more encouraging to new sewers & showcases skills & techniques as much as flair & speed! – at Bristol, England
Thanks for watching, thanks for tweeting, thanks to our sewers, our amazing production team, @paddygrant & Esme and the glorious @JoeLycett. 👏💐🥳 #SewingBee
Another great episode, loved that it highlighted Great British fabrics. Still wish they would give them longer - a coat in under 6 hours will never be finished to the level the sewist wishes it could be! Can’t help feeling we’re missing out on some beautiful finishes! – at Bristol, England
Yes take up sewing folks, it’s a fantastic hobby & don’t worry it doesn’t always have to be that quick!!
Sewing has many benefits, and thanks to the #SewingBee, millions of new people could be inspired to take up the craft 😊
Thank you, @sewingbee 👏

The solo outing on March 12 aimed to highlight the work being carried out to help mothers, carers and children living in the area of Kennington vogue.co.uk/article/duchess-…
Please tell me I’m not the only one who wishes they would give them more time for these challenges. It’s not a competition to find the next professional (like Masterchef) Sewing & rushing is not fun, it should be enjoyed as a slow hobby. #gbsb5 #SewingBee #sewingforpleasure
Looking forward to this week’s episode of Sewing Bee, hope it’s full of inspiration and doable projects for everyone watching…
