If someone had told me five years ago that I would be completely glued to a reality TV program about sewing I would have had a good laugh. I didn’t even have a TV back then and only watched selected movies and series. I hadn’t gotten into sewing and didn’t consider myself as the crafty type at all.

I guess things have changed… now my favorite TV program is The Great British Sewing Bee. A really nice, no intrigues competition between amateur sewers. The best part you feel like you are learning stuff while watching it. And did I say no intrigues? I hate programs where the whole purpose is to have the contestants bitch about each other. None of that!

Borrowed from BBC

I came across this program at the best time possible. I am still having problems sitting due to my tailbone and spend most evenings exhausted after torturing myself through work and an extremely painful train ride. Perfect to watch lying in bed!

Right now it is possible to watch the first season on YouTube and last episode on Dailymail.

Season 2 is currently on BBC which you can access using Unblock us if you are outside the UK.

Season 2 is soon over but the good thing is that it looks like there will be both an American and a Norwegian version. I cannot wait! If you are just a little interested in sewing, give it a try. There are even men competing! Must admit I didn’t think men could sew…. How lame of me!
