Great British Sewing Bee Episode 8 Series 10 - Patterns and Fabrics

The Great British Sewing Bee series 10 episode 8 diva week - sewing patterns, fabrics and tutorials video is here and it was a super fun week seeing the Bees go wild with creativity sewing up costumes inspired by their favourite superstars. The pattern challenge was a Tina Turner style fringed dress, which had me wanting to hit the dance floor and shimmy like Tina. I've included links to an invisible zip tutorial, Telfon or non stick sewing machine feet to make those Diva fabrics behave and our Prym punch pliers for all your hardware needs! Everything I mention is linked below and available on our website.
