Oh my. I've discovered my new favorite TV show. (Okay, it doesn't quite compete with My Little Pony. But really, what does?) Have you all heard about The Great British Sewing Bee, a BBC show designed to find Britain's best home sewer? I mean, just the concept alone is amazing.
The show starts with 8 contestants.
And hey, look! One of them is our very own Tilly from the lovely blog Tilly and the Buttons. How cute is she? She looks gorgeous on screen and performs beautifully under pressure.
I've only watched one episode (you can watch it here), and I savored every minute of it. There were three challenges: make an a-line skirt from a pattern, design and sew a new neckline for a simple cotton blouse, and make a custom dress for a client. The exciting thing about this show is that it really is ALL about the craft. The judges examine each sewn product with care, admiring facings and handstitched hems. It's like a full hour of garment sewing porn. The narrative goes into great detail on construction, and even has some sewing history segments thrown in. The least successful part of the show (in my opinion) is the short sewing project. In episode one, it's a drawstring laundry bag. They rush through the construction (not that I'd want to see it, honestly) so it feels tacked-on and very separate from what the contestants are doing on the show.
The most charming thing is how very quiet and quaint this reality show is. Between challenges, the contestants sit down for tea at a local cafe for a nice little chat. The bitchiest comment from a judge so far was (whispered furtively behind her hand as a contestant cut some lining fabric from a bolt): "that's way too much fabric for a lining." She was promptly chastened by her fellow judge, because after all, the sewer could have been making a full-length skirt. (He wasn't.)
If you'd like a taste of the drama, check out this video, the ominously titled "Sandra's Mistake." (Spoiler alert: she sews her neckline facing on her blouse with the right side facing up.)
My major complaint is that the series is way too short overall: only four episodes! Hopefully it will be a smash hit and come back with more. Oh, my other complaint is that there's not yet a Great American Sewing Bee. Because I would so be there.
Episodes two and three are available to watch online, and I seriously cannot wait. Who will win this thing? I've got my money on Ann, an 82-year-old whose flawless construction reflects decades of experience.
Are you readers watching this show? If not, no excuses! Run, don't walk, to YouTube and check it out. Happy viewing!
I adore this show! I've been watching it religiously. I really hope they do another series because just 4 episodes really isn't enough.
ReplyDeleteje les regarde sur youtube depuis les antilles françaises .Et je le recommande à tous ceux qui aiment la couture .Mon choix de vainqueur va sur Laureen (guthrie-ghani.co.uk/blog)J'aime bien les coutures d'Ann mais elle manque de fantaisie.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - 4 episodes are not enough, and the segment where they show you how to make something for your home just does not work. They rush through so fast you can't see what you're making. And why aren't they showing you how to make a simple garment instead? Would make more sense.
ReplyDeleteI agree - for people new to sewing, it would make no sense (all they say is "cut out two squares of fabric and sew up the sides" etc), and for those of us who do sew, it would be too basic to help us. Maybe it would have been better to show simple things like how pleats/darts/princess seams work to make a 3D shape from a 2D
DeleteTilly is adorable! I had just started following her maybe 3 weeks before I heard of the show, it was like watching a star be born! I would totally try out if there was an American one. In a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this show great! Am loving it... just sad it ends next week. Boo.
ReplyDeleteAm from the UK so I get it firtshand. I absolutely love that it is designed for home sewers. You can catch it on youtube if you have not seen it. I don't think ep 1 is on there though but it doesn't matter. There are only 4 episodes apparently So last one on Tue.
ReplyDelete"first hand" even lol. Just realised you already mentioned youtube.
DeleteI live in the UK and have been watching every week. In fact, I cancelled all of my plans for Tuesday evenings while it was on. It is a great show and it is appealing to more than those who sew or have an interest in it. My boyfriend has actually learnt things from it and he wouldn't know what to do with a needle! I'm gutted there are only 4 episodes but hopefully it will be back again.
ReplyDeleteI've seen two episodes and tried to watch three but there was something funky going on with the video, but I'll try again.
ReplyDeleteI am such an anglophile and a sewing fanatic so this is...this is...OH MY HAPPINESS! I'd love an American one but I don't think it would ever be the same -- you know how we get....
I heard about it whilst in the UK recently and was straight onto it as soon as i got home! So so good
ReplyDeleteI found this show yesterday, and have seen all three episodes :/
ReplyDeleteTilly was great, but unfortunetly too ambitious for the show... quality of garments of some contestants... let's not crticize - I don't know how I could sew under preasure...
Ann has great experience, but I think Lauren got as good chance too win as her :)
Let us see :)
Im in the uk as well and am really enjoying the great british sewing bee too. I think the Great British Bakeoff is made by the same production company, so if you are remotely interested in baking, you might like that too. I agree with you regarding the mini make - this past week they described how to make curtains using drawn header tape in about 1 minute flat. If you hadnt made a pair before, you woukd have no idea what they were on about. Sad that it's ending si soon, tho. Im for Ann to win too x
ReplyDeleteMy most favorite-ist tv show ever! During my oh-so-short stint as the editor of Vogue Patterns Magazine, the very first thing I did was to feature Ann in the magazine. She is a treasure and she is an admin at the sewing discussion forum Stitchers Guild, for anyone who can't get enough Ann!
ReplyDeletehttp://tllg.net/OaRW
oooh!!! im off to watch. id heeard something about that from sew direct which is a london shop where i purchase my designs by gertie patterns (among others ;) ) but i didnt really pay much attention to the blurb about it. after reading your post, i cant wait. so.... bye! off to watch :D
ReplyDeleteI've seen episodes 1 and 2 so far and I love it! I love that they make real clothes and not just "fashion" because that's what I do! I really hope they do another season and maybe they'll just kick one person off per week so it's longer.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Tilly's blog also turned me on to The Great British Bake-Off, which is excellent as well.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered this show last week and my only disappointment is that it is a very short series. Ann Rowley often posts on Stitchers Guild and so it is fun to see her in 3D. She is so skilled and so generous with her knowledge that I hope she wins too!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to catch it on Youtube since this is the first I heard of it.
ReplyDeleteYes, it needs to be more than just 4 episodes!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this show, what were they thinking only making 4 episodes?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI also had Anne pegged to win at the end of the first show but Lauren seems to have come into her own and is a real contender. Although Anne is awesome, Lauren seems to have a little more flair that the judges are looking for.

I'm obviously watching it religiously from the UK, but as you say, it's just so darned short. This reflect how risk-averse TV is, so it's important to get as many people talking about the show as possible, to show there's a real appetite for sewing on TV. When people (like you) in other other countries are getting excited about it too, hopefully this will increase the chances of a second series and other spin-offs. Fingers crossed!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the show as well (I'm from the UK). I've bought the book, seen all three live and watched them all again on the iplayer. It has exceeded expectations. I love how all the American bloggers love it as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd heard about it from Tilly, but honestly I didn't think to check YouTube to see if I could actually watch it. I mean, if it's a hit, BBC America *might* show it, but most of what they show these days has more to do with Star Trek thn actual BBC programming! And I agree with you--I'd be glued to the television if they had an American version!
ReplyDeleteGertie, have you seen LA Frock Stars on the Smithsonian channel? It's a half hour of drool worthy vintage clothing!
I, too am obsessed with this show and am eternally grateful to whoever has been putting the full episodes on YouTube. I've seen the first 2 and can't wait to finish work today so I can watch the third. I agree it's way less bitchy and more constructive than project runway, and the contestants, although under a lot of pressure seem more rested. It's also a show I feel like I could be in myself, because it's all about construction & fit!
ReplyDeleteI like the show also. Unfortunately, I started watching episode 3 :) The 82 year-old lady is really, really good! I can't wait to watch the next episode.
ReplyDeleteI'm an ex-pat Brit living in Canada, and I've been watching, and absolutely loving it (and catching up with Tilly's blog posts about it too, of course!). I would love to see a longer series, if only so we could get to know all the contestants a bit better, and to give them time to broaden their range of projects; I would love to see them tackle some vintage patterns, for example, and that would give someone like Mark a real chance to shine!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this show. I would watch it every day if it was available.
ReplyDeleteloving the fact that this has crossed the channel! please all watch it on you tube so that the bbc commission another (longer!) series! i'm in the uk and even my hsband is watching it. this may be the first review of it that didn't mention the gorgeous patrick grant tho...
ReplyDeleteThankyou! When you add the gprgeous Patrick in, this show has everything!!! Was scrolling wondering if everyone was blind to his charm!!! ;)
DeleteLOL I am loving Patrick Grant, what a handsome man he is!!!!! Even though I would watch it just to see him, I absolutely love the show!!! Even more than Project Runway! I really hope they keep filming it and an American version would be awesome! Although, I really really love the British version, so very charming.
Deleteyup watching in the uk, gripped, busy doing gathered pockets at the mo!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to watch this! It sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNothing compares to My Little Pony, too true. Thanks for spotlighting this show! Sounds so interesting.
ReplyDeleteReally, you liked it? I almost wrote a post |( then decided I rather write about stuff I like) about how much I hated the mix of reality TV with my sacred sewing. I had a hard time getting used to the host her hosting style, the judging, and the time limits. I mean I felt it missed the whole point of the new wave of home sewing. Have you watched the second one? I felt so sorry for Tilly, I totally agreed with her about sewing being a fun task, that is not meant to be pressured like that. Why does everything has to be a reality nowadays? I see a show about sewing much more like a cooking show, maybe something like what Penelope Cruz does in the "Woman on Top". I think if I haven's sewn already this show would put me off. I am surprised you haven't had a funny feeling too, considering your respect to our grandmother's sewing and all. (?)
ReplyDeleteI love the Sewing Bee! My sewing teacher was actually the 'behind the scenes' sewing consultant (www.thethriftystitcher.co.uk) and made most (or all, I'm not sure!) of the example items on the show. I was also drafted in to help out on set the night before the first episode! It was amazing to be on the set, and it's so cool to watch it on TV now!
ReplyDeleteI wrote a blog post about my day as a "contestant "
http://vintageinkfairy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-great-british-sewing-bee-experience.html
p.s. I love Ann too. I also think I spotted Loren wearing Colette's Anise Jacket in the 3rd episode.. hihi. Stuff only another "sewing enthusiast" can see:)
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Miss Celie's Pants and I LOVE it!. British shows tend to be short anyway but this is one I would love to see more of. Ann Rowley is great - I love hearing about her observations from when she was growing up to now. It was cool to hear that the done thing then was to have custom-sewn garments not "off-the-peg" :) I believe she's head moderator at Artisan Square.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'm living in London for a year and this show is making me seriously regret that my sewing machine is in storage back in New York (and not the right voltage!)
ReplyDeleteYes! I am absolutely loving it, too. Even better than Project Runway, dare I say, because I feel like they're my people! Regular at home sewers just like me.
ReplyDeleterosiewednesday.blogspot.com
Thanks for the tip. I'm so bored with this season's Project Runway. the cast was so uninspiring! While I have never sewn apparel, I love watching the design process. It'll be exciting to see this new perspective.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
I think Lauren (the Scottish girl) will win, and Ann will come second because Ann's projects are always kind of boring-looking.
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me as amazing (not in a good way) is that most of the contestants signed up for the show and had never even sewn a fly-front zipper!
That said, it's nice to have a show about proper sewing, not just stitching lace and ribbon to a t-shirt. Maybe there are shows in America, but not much here in England.
And it dosen't have that dreadful "reality show" vibe about it. This is much more like reality, which means I can watch it.
By the way, did you know there's a book based on the series? It's got a lot more in it than the show.
I've been watching it, hoping it encourages people to sew as the previous cooking competitions encouraged home cooking.
ReplyDeleteThe semifinal "make a jacket" was the cruncher - only a very basic style could be made in the time allowed, and only the most experienced sewer realised this.
I adore this show! I love that there isn't as much drama as the U.S. shows and it gets straight to the point. I also love the history and education they are giving. They explain techniques in easy terms. I love Tilly - she's so stinkin' adorable :)
ReplyDelete-Amy (www.thatssewamy.com)
Thank you for telling me - this is right up my alley and I had no idea I was missing out! I'm all over it. An American Sewing Bee would be kick-ass.
ReplyDeleteYES this show is my new addiction! I too am outside the UK and very grateful to the YouTubers who have uploaded episodes for us all to enjoy. Total make-a-cuppa-and-luxuriate viewing. I can put up with the time limits for the sake of TV drama but I do wish they didn't have to vote people off (someone on YouTube sensibly suggested a points system instead), as I would love to have seen what the earlier contestants would have done in the later challenges. Fingers crossed they will make another season!
ReplyDeleteYes I just watched the first three episodes! Can't wait to see who will win! I love just listening to them it's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove this, thanks for posting! <3 I found the 2nd episode on youtube as well, third one isn't up yet I think? (:
ReplyDeleteAs has already been mentioned, Ann is one of the moderators on the Sewers' Guild forums (http://artisanssquare.com/sg/index.php/topic,20443.455.html).
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see what happens in the final week!
As a rare show based on home sewing of course i love it.As a brit living in Canada 25 years im proud of it and i really really hope it doesnt stop permanently at show 4.It would be lovely to see this continue and even cross the ocean to showcase many more home sewers.
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely loving the show! It's amazing, and I love that a lot of non sewers are also watching it. I agree, 4 episodes are not enough, but lets hope the makers realise it's a success and make more!!!! The more people who watch it, the more likely that will be!!!
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog Gertie (via Nancy Zieman's). Thank you for posting about this show--it's inspired me to start sewing again!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching it here in the UK from the beginning. I'm so glad our overseas chums can access it too.
ReplyDeleteI adored the Steampunk costumes that Mark made for himself.
4 episodes are not enough. Still there is always the book of the series.

I just discovered it this week on my English cable here in Spain (by chance as I hardly watch the tv my fellow or the girls monopolize it !) and loved it and of course Ann demonstrates as you say her years of experience and how neatly everything was done "back then"; I felt really sorry for the young blonde girl with tears dripping as she was trying to make up for her mistake on the dress...but we'll see next week, I hope she stays in ! Must check the youtube video as we can't watch the rerun on their web here...
ReplyDeleteHi Gertie, So glad you found the program! We've been loving it over the pond in the UK. Even my husband, who has no interest whatsoever in sewing/fashion/materials/etc is hooked. You are so right about the viewer's project and how rushed it seemed and not part of the program - I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying it is only going to get worse - so much so that I wonder if it has been left in as an inside joke! Can't wait for the final episode - just wish it had been longer series. Vohn x
ReplyDeleteYES!! I've been OBSESSED with this show since it started! I'm cheering for Ann too! I'm SO happy someone put them on YouTube so we can watch the show! I LOVE this show because it's focused on SKILL! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think the BBC could produce TV shows featuring flies crawling up a drape or paint drying and would find a way to make it fascinating and entertaining. American TV really needs to take note of how things are done and follow some good examples rather than just stealing ideas.
ReplyDeleteWill tune in!
I love GBSB, so glad I'm British and get to watch it on Tuesdays at 8pm, BBC2. Twitter tastic as well #GBSB do join in! And Lauren and Tilly both have blogs, Ann has an amazing Flickr profile with photo tutorials of couture sewing - check it out Ann Rowley. It is brilliant but only on for 4 weeks! And why do people have to be eliminated? boo hoo!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm in love with that TV show too!! I think that Lauren is going to win. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this show and how nice everyone is to each other, no snarky comments. The history lessons are a great addition.
ReplyDeleteWhen is episode four supposed to be up?
ReplyDeleteIt will be on BBC2 on Tuesday 23rd April at 8pm (UK time) so it depend if someone nice can record it and put it on youtube (which they are not meant to do, as it's copyright protected) so catch it before it gets taken down!
DeleteOkay, late comer to the show but completely addicted now, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely show but a missed opportunity too. They do use a pretty predicable format well to show off the skills and knowledge and remarkable spirit these sewists have. However, the producers should know that they are hitting a massively underserved market, eg those who love and know something about sewing and are hungry to know more. They should be using the judges to put on some kind of mind blowing masterclass demo not dumbed down little projects for 'newbies'. i know it's not something we have seen since the 70s but we could risk a bit of educational TV now and then can't we?
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this show. I hope they make like 20 seasons of it in 5 different countries. I will watch them all!
ReplyDeleteI also found this this show on the internet. Love the power of the internet to bring this to the world so quickly. Love having the tea and scones (well maybe crumpets???) together between intense sewing sessions--just like we would really do.Tilley's blog said she could not put in a sleeve in 5 minutes because of this show. I could use some of the intensity every now and then
ReplyDeleteI meant to say that Tilly could put in a sleeve in 5 min because of the show. Have just finished watching episode 3 and am speechless that they could make a jacket in 6 hours!! Fascinating to watch
ReplyDeleteLOVE this show!! I love how they don't belittle each other and don't curse every other word. I also love how they are competitive without being snarky. I wish it was at least 12 or 13 episodes though. I guess the sew-this-yourself segments are so rushed since there's a book about the show and they probably want you to buy it to get better step by step instructions. I hope Ann wins too. She is so darling!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about this show. I just watched it on youtube and I love it. Can't wait to watch other episodes
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS SHOW! It's so warm and goodnatured - such a shame it's only four episodes. I can't wait for the final this Tuesday! Patrick, the judge, is pretty much one of the most handsome men I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHi Gertie, I'm fairly new to this blog and have just been lurking so far, but I had to comment on the Great British Sewing Bee! My mum and I are enjoying it a lot so far.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the feeling of friendly competition and some historical information, why don't you check out the Great British Bake Off? It aired in the autumn and captured pretty much everyone in the UK!
So glad you can watch this, it really is a good show, like you i hope they do more!
ReplyDeleteNikie in the uk
Gertie, why don't you get together with some of your "sponsors" and make your own web series? If it's popular, you can throw a line to DiY or something. As soon as you wrote that you wanted "The Great American Sewing Bee" I was all over it! :D
ReplyDeleteI just saw this linked on Whipstitch last night. Then I shared the link on my blog. I'm so watching this today. I can't wait. I heard it's about sewers like us- home sewers and not so much about fashion designers. That's so neat!! Way to go Brits for being on top of it. Hope it contains some of the wonderful Brit humour (with a "u").
ReplyDeleteSamantha (aka The Steamy Seamstress)

Love the show! It's very interesting to see how different the competition shows are in Britain. My favorite is Lauren- but Ann is great too. I think it is hilarious when Lauren gets praise or wins and Ann give that puckered evil eye kind of face. She's a wicked competitor....lol.
ReplyDeleteI love the phrase "garment sewing porn."
ReplyDeleteI agree. I've seen episode one and two. As Brit living in the UK and newish to sewing, I find this program absolutely riveting. I'm learning a lot about sewing AND I miss my home, so that's a real added bonus.
ReplyDeleteopps/ I mean a Brit living in the USA!
DeleteCan I marry that gorgeous tailor? Yum!
ReplyDeleteI am in Australia and we were lucky enough for someone to post about it as soon as it was on. My daughter and I have been watching it and it has inspired Miss ten to want to make the cushion shown in episode two. The home sewing project. Well we started it yesterday and it had to be completed this morning whilst still in pj's and before Breakfast!! She loves sewing. I am grateful for the Great British Sewing Bee for giving my little girl that extra little bit she needed to start sewing.
ReplyDeleteI too, am a devotee. My money is on Ann to,win but I love Lauren's work too. I plug In my earphones and watch on my iPad while the family looks at me strangely (apparently I grin, gasp , frown and shed a tear as someone is voted out...who knew?). I also think their quickie demos are horrible. If experienced sewists can barely follow the rapid fire barebones instructions how are you going to get beginners on board?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting about this show! I only got a chance to watch ten minutes or so (before my kids insisted on interrupting) but I can't wait to watch more!!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving the Great British Sewing Bee and cannot wait for Tuesday's final. I totally agree though, the series is far too short, I do hope to see it come back for a full series.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that show! I've stayed up watching 2 episodes, and will probably stay up late again tonight.
ReplyDeletelove this show. very informative i like
ReplyDeletethe way they are all so polite to each other.
Thanks for posting this, what fun! It's lovely to see a competition with such genuinely nice people, and such nice judges too! I'm watching the episodes right now in between sewing my Lady Grey coat which I started a couple of years ago, and which I've been inspired to finish.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Nancy has some great books and I would love to have this new one.
ReplyDeletebeawolf408@gmail.com
This show is my new obsession! Thank goodness for You tube, as I can't see it any other way.
ReplyDeleteI started a new project today that was commissioned by a fabric shop owner, and as I was measuring, cutting and marking fabric, I was pretending I was on the show!
Forgot to add, I would have loved to have seen what Mark would have done with the child's dress. I hope they bring all the contestants back for the final and let them all stitch up a consolation project.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I am watching. I think contestants are nominated (right?) which accounts for the wide range of experience. I prefer this to Project Runway these days (definitely downhill since moving from Bravo)-- none of the angst, back-biting and snark, more sewing and creating using a pattern as a base or personalizing the look of a ready-made garment. Ann is as charming, gracious and delightful as I imagined.
ReplyDeleteI watched all 3 of the episodes currently on youtube in a row and am planning on checking tomorrow to see if someone put up the last one. It's such a lovely show, and I love how it's about what the contestants can actually do, rather than about drama, like American reality tv so often is.
ReplyDeleteDid any of you lovely sewers find episode 4? I am dying to see who wins!! :)
ReplyDeleteGertie, I am holding you and the BBC completely responsible for the three hours I spent, unmoving, on the sofa in front of my laptop this morning. That show is like crack! I am simultaneously drooling to see Ep 4 and sobbing that it will all be over after that. Why, oh why can't we make shows like this in the States? Maybe we are all just too inherently dramatic to perform in such a manner...
ReplyDeleteJust watched the first episode and was SO glad to have learned about it program. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIgetmycraftyfrommymama.blogspot.com
Enjoying the series very much. Everyone is just so lovely and sweet. Though we like Project Runway a lot, my husband hit the nail: this show has it beat because egos are never in the picture. Only problem is I think he's learning from watching this... I'm going to have to step up my sewing game!
ReplyDeleteI just finished the first episode, and I am completely hooked! That, and I'm absolutely itching to sew something for myself to wear :) Thanks for introducing me to a great show!
ReplyDelete~Natalie (QSOgirl)
Wow, I just watched the final here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70k-G0sLoFw
ReplyDeleteAmazing show, love the craftsmanship, and it is amazing how nice everyone is. really great 4 hours of TV.
Can't wait for season 2. ;)
Hi everyone, Season 2 has been confirmed - yay! As we all hoped, it is going to be longer - yay! Unfortunately only by 2 episodes though - 6 instead of 4 - boo! I think the Beeb are missing a trick by not making it a lot longer & with proper thorough viewer tutorials. Can't wait though! Vohn x
ReplyDeleteWell just finished the sewing bee, thank you for telling us about it. I will have to sew tomorrow just because it has been quite a while since I got it out. Sometimes I am really hard on myself and my ability. Just keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteHi Gertie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for providing this link - just loved the first three episodes, and am going to watch the final tonight as a special treat. So much more satisfying than Project Runway - no drama and bitchiness, but the real plus is that there is so much focus on actually sewing - so an opportunity to learn.
OMG! I love this show!!! I managed to watch the whole season this past weekend and loved it so! I can't wait until season 2!
ReplyDeleteJust finished watching all four eps over two evenings - thanks to Gertie for mentioning it! - loved it; but I warned hubby-dearest that if he EVER heard they were making an Aussie version he'd be sleeping on the couch if he put my name forward for it! I don't think I could handle the pressure of having to make something so perfectly in so little time!
ReplyDeleteI too have watched all episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I guess Ann would take home the prize, she was so meticulous in her work. Thank you Gertie for putting me onto the show I happily watched whilst layed up on the couch.
ReplyDelete
