The Great British Sewing Bee - Series 9 Episode 1

Posted by Phoebe on 26th May 2023

The Great British Sewing Bee has returned to our screens this week and we couldn't be more excited at Fabric Godmother HQ. We have our own sweepstake in the office and a dedicated group chat for all things sewing bee!

We loved recognising a few familiar faces in this year's line-up, and also a lot of familiar fabrics! In case you missed it, three garments were made using Fabric Godmother prints and they all looked fabulous. In the first challenge, contestants sewed a twist front top and Linnaea Viscose and Linen, Viola Viscose Twill, and Rosita Viscose Satin were all used. We've linked them below if you have been inspired to use these too.

Linnaea Viscose & Linen - Multi

Viola Viscose Twill - Red

Rosita Viscose Ecovero Satin - Pink

If you loved the twist top, we've pulled out a couple of patterns you could use to try the technique for yourself.

In the final round, the challenge was to make a dress that had cut-outs! We've pulled together a few patterns that capture this Spring/ Summer trend!
