The Great British Sewing Bee | Back to Basics
The Great British Sewing Bee: Back to Basics is an inspiring and practical companion to the tenth series of the much-loved BBC programme, created to help sewists of different skill levels develop their craft and build a stylish handmade wardrobe. Written by Caroline Akselson with The Great British Sewing Bee, it brings together favourite patterns from the show, ranging from versatile wardrobe staples to more ambitious statement pieces.
Packed with expert dressmaking advice, useful techniques and practical tips, the book includes projects for women's garments and accessories in UK sizes 8–22, alongside four menswear designs in sizes XS–XL. Seven separate pattern sheets provide the templates needed to bring the designs to life. Beautifully photographed and designed to be used as much as admired, Back to Basics is both a creative project collection and a valuable reference for anyone looking to improve their sewing skills and create a distinctive capsule wardrobe by hand.
