The Great British Sewing Bee craftalong makes!

The Great British Sewing Bee will return to our screens at 9pm on the 12th February! So, let us paint a picture of your upcoming Tuesday nights: the Sewing Bee is on, a cuppa and chocolate-covered Hobnobs are nearby and you’re making a start on your next project – sounds perfect, right? For light-hearted, enjoyable makes to create while you’re watching Patrick on TV *swoons*, why not give these ones a go? They’re bee-rilliant!

THE DRESS

This elegant tea frock, which featured in The Great British Sewing Bee: Sew your own Wardrobe, is gorgeous with its floaty bias cut and feminine sleeves.

THE BEE

What sweet critter pops into your head at the mention of the GBSB? A bumblebee – obviously! This colourful make is a wonderful idea for crochet lovers who want to create mascots to give to friends and family.

THE TROUSERS

The Sew team are crazy about palazzo pants at the moment! These comfortable and stylish trousers are the perfect project for those of us who are already dreaming about summer garments.

THE CARD

If you love all things bright, colourful and sparkly, then you'll adore this cheery easel card – it really is the bee's knees for those of you who enjoy a spot of papercrafting.

THE FABRIC

Discover four unique ways to make the most out of the Tilda Bumblebee collection, including handy storage bags, adorable baby blankets and this buzzing bee!

THE BLOUSE

The front of this classic pussybow top falls softly onto the yoke, and it features beautiful full sleeves which are gathered at the wrist. It's an easy peasy make which means there's no danger of being distracted by the Sewing Bee!

THE PINCUSHION

Turn the treats you're snacking on into a pincushion! This project is super-quick to whip up and is stitched from felt so it won't fray.
