Brother Sewing at the Great British Sewing Bee Live 2017

The Great British Sewing Bee LIVE is an event for anyone with a love of dressmaking, textiles, fashion and tailoring. The show hosts hundreds of workshops, demonstrations, fashion galleries, catwalk shows, drop-in clinics and a celebrity super theatre, as well as over 200 loved exhibitors selling specialist dressmaking and textile supplies. Spend a day re-stocking your material stash, learning to sew, master the art of dressmaking, see the judges and contestants from the TV programme plus so much more.

In association with 'K+L', there was an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the creations from the 4 series of Great British Sewing Bee.

A collection of the most stunning, stand-out and some of the most bizarre designs from the programme!










ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS - CREATING THE COSTUME!

The University of East London (UEL) 2nd year students had the amazing opportunity to work with costume designers on the set of Absolutely Fabulous - The Movie.

The brief was to produce a fashion collection inspired by contemporary designers.




There was an opportunity to watch Jenny Éclair interview the presenters of the show in the 'Super Theatre'. Also many chances to watch exciting design competitions on the stage.






This is Rachel Chilcott - she came over to say hi. Look at her fantastic arm tattoo of a sewing machine. Dedication to her craft!

Rachel has a craft blog on Instagram - @chilli__beans 






The show was held in the historic surroundings of the ExCeL exhibition space in London's Docklands area.

The Great British Sewing Bee Live will return to ExCeL next year on 8th - 10th June 2018. You can find the event online and on Facebook.
