The BBC2 primetime series, The Great British Sewing Bee, is set to
return to the nation's screens this year. The companion book to the
sixth series of this flagship BBC2 show, The Great British Sewing
Bee: Sustainable Style accompanies sewers at all levels on their
creative journey to reduce, reuse and recycle - ultimately creating
their own considered closet. Starting with the essentials, sewers
will learn how to maintain and care for their sewing machine, find
out the secrets to using an overlocker (and what to do if you don't
have one) and the key to pattern matching. With a guide that
demystifies the fitting process, and with expert sewing tips on
making alterations, you'll be able to choose from 27 projects, for
both women and men, that will ease you into the world of
sustainable sewing. For burgeoning dressmakers, this book showcases
a vast array of sustainable and natural fabrics, reveals how to
breathe life into old garments and entices the would-be sewer to
dress handmade. Interspersed with sustainable tips, from advice on
keeping an eco-friendly sewing space and how to better care for
your garments, to guidance on recycling old clothes, using up
fabric scraps and making repairs, this book is an indispensable
reference to a more considered approach to sewing, that will
encourage you to create long-lasting projects to cherish. With
womenswear sizes ranging from 8 to 22 and menswear sizes ranging
from XS to XL, along with five full-size pattern sheets, expert
sewers Caroline Akselson and Alexandra Bruce cover everything you
need to build your sewing repertoire and grow in confidence as you
sew yourself sustainable.
