Thanks for the review. It was really helpful. I've ordered the book and really excited about getting it now. Also, thanks for all the other videos you've done as well as your fab website. I find them all really useful and interesting and thought that in these strange, unsettling times it might be nice to hear some kind words. Please keep doing what you do because it's brilliant, it's helping people, and it's inserting little bits of much-needed joy into our lives.
Have a feeling GBSB should have started when the book was released but may have been delayed due to all the rescheduling BBC had to do because of Coronavirus. I think this because its been moved to BBC1 as its normally on BBC2 whic may lead to even more exposure this year for us home sewers and the sewing market in general
Hi are you aware that some of the patterns in book have mistakes, I cut the sleep set out and the front for the pants is about 9cms short, also I saw a review on the book and someone mentioned the summer dress front and side panels has no seam allowance. It’s annoying because you don’t know until you are making it up. I will have to measure every piece before I trace the patterns if I make something again, has put me off though
I am so disappointed with the new book. I was looking forward to the new Sewing Bee and book, having bought all their previous books. However, no need to look for similar patterns as you only have to refer to their previous books and you'll find them there. I'm actually wearing the pussy bow blouse from a previous book as I watch this 🤦♀️. The blouse, sleep set, bomber jacket, Marilyn dress and men's linen jacket have all been done on the show before. Please BBC don't treat us as idiots like you did last season when the 'winner' won with dresses that would have fitted everyone as they laced up the back !!! There were dresses that may not have looked as pretty but were technically better. I thought this was a competition challenging sewing competency not a design competition. We want to see complicated techniques like the Japanese patterns of previous series.
I disagree. I think the show is much improved now that they give more weight to design and style, not just technical sewing competence. In the past people have done well by making clothes that were unflattering and old-fashioned, but well-sewn. I do want the winner to be technically good, but I also want them to make clothes that look great.
@@RosClarkeCraft I think that if the fabric is well chosen for the pattern, and then the garment completed in a careful way, it can look great. A great fit and impeccable technique can ensure a great look.
Rosyclaire I think if you are an experienced sewist it may not be useful snd the show not interesting but I enjoy and if I get bored with it I’ll stop watching
Kate, thank you for the review. Being in the USA, I can only hope eventually it will show up on TH-cam. :-( I absolutely love your top! Would you mind telling me where it is from or, if you made it, where the fabric is from, please?
Being in the U.S. also, I won't be able to watch the show yet. There are so many fans here, that I don't understand why it's not shown here. Very difficult to get the books too.
I agree! I was binge watching the old seasons as they suddenly showed up on TH-cam. Got through first 3 seasons then “poof” gone 😭 Does anyone know if they are on Britbox streaming?
I ask my Nan for this book for my birthday. I’ve now got it and I’m so excited to make something. Will have to go to her house take my machine and we can sew together. Defo making some fabric choices that suit me 😇
Thank you for your review! You mentioned this book in a previous video and I jumped on board and ordered it from Canada. It arrived this week and I love it! You are a great researcher and maybe you or one of your followers can tell me why is it so difficult for Canadians to watch The Great British Sewing Bee? The only versions we've seen are outdated episodes that we can sometimes get via TH-cam. All of us Canadian sewist LOVE this show! We must because we watch badly filmed TH-cam versions over and over! (Personal favorite is the 1950's Walk-Away-dress) anybody out there know anything? (I've even researched if there are DVD versions of past episodes? ) can't find those either.
The same here in Australia Louise 😢 I think ir has to do with UK television licencing. I think it would be good to 'sew along' with the show (I'm guessing the patterns are the same). We will have to wait for snippets on you tube, in a couple of years.😕 Take Care. Gabrielle
Gah I'm so sorry about that - I really don't know why it's only in the UK it must be something to do with licensing.. seems very silly when it would have loads of people across the world who want to watch it!
I came to this vid via a Pindiy post in a Simplity magazine with a maxi dress on its cover that looked interesting but had no pattern for it in this mag, just an intro and basic project info... disappointing and a loss of 150 Pindiy points, however, I continued to pursue capturing the referenced printed pattern included in the TGBSB book. Clicked on the Amazon link you provided, noting all the purchase options from new to used to Kindle, and clicked on the reviews, and thank goodness I did. One reviewer noted that not all patterns were ready in print but digitally downloadable, so she recommended the more affordable Kindle version since this was a rabbit hole getting deeper and more costly by the clicks...lol!
Series 1 to 5 is available to watch on Britbox if Britbox is available in your country. Britbox is British content and has been available in Australia for a year now.
Thank you for the review! It looks like a great book, I wasn't sure it would have enough value for the price but it totally does. Also love your blouse!
Great job Kate. Thank you for this. I like that the book has a mending section at the back. That is new. I've got three of the previous books and found them a bit disappointing for various reasons. For example one book showed how to insert zips 2 or 3 different ways and yet the 1st pattern in the book was a loose top with an exposed zip closure in the back which is not shown how to do in the book. Poor editing frankly and poorly planned out. Can't wait for the new Sewing Bee series to start. I have watched every single series starting with the 1st and just loved them all. I think Esme has brought new life and pizazz to the show and Joe did a brilliant job last series. So pleased he will be back again this series. During last year's series I had started following The Fold Line and LOVED the series you did the very next day matching patterns to the episode. Brilliant job ladies. You put a lot of work into that with a quick turn around. I so looked forward to your video each week. It made Sewing Bee last 2 evenings for me instead of just one.
Ahh Louise what a lovely comment thank you! I'm so pleased you liked them we're looking forward to donning our detective hats and start searching out patterns!
Love the review; very excited that the book is perfect for beginners like me, but could not stop admiring your gorgeous hair. Color and curls just beautiful. Well wishes for everyone.
Thank you for this. I haven't bought the book yet as I wasn't sure there was enough in it for me, but I am now thinking again. There are definitely a few projects for me in there. Like your idea of keeping the patterns in the box. I have learned to sew since the last Bee and now am really excited at the possibility of following along and making some things directly inspired by the series. Looking forward to your vids.
Fun review, and looks great-I will have to get that!! Ah yes, the model with the flared trouser's-definitely has that "smoldering" look! LOL! The men's linen jacket is quite nice!! The dress with the shirring, and the jumpsuit are fab-making the jumpsuit into a romper is very cool-that is really cute! :+) The halter dress is most definitely a classic look-really sexy and sweet! WOW! That is one of the nicest "Bomber" jacket patterns I have seen, you're right-those pockets are just perfection! Very informative, and is wonderful that they include things like making an apron from jeans, and mending, etc...matte pages are great-I hate it when you're trying to read something and the pages are so glossy you get a glare! ugh. I have never seen this program, but am now going to "tune in"!! Thank you for sharing! Look forward to your next review and chat time! :+) Have a wonderful week ahead!
@@TheFoldLine You are most welcome-we had hoped to visit Europe in May, but now all our travel plans are probably on hold for at least a year. I had been hoping I could meet some of the"sewing clan" from over the pond...:+)
My book arrived today! So excited for me and my mum to start making the items 👍🏼 I was really impressed with the book based on first impressions. My favourites were the halter dress and the shirt dress/jumpsuit
Hi I’m in the US love watching your videos wish I was closer.. love the book ..the currency is in the U.K. how much would it be in US and all the sewing markings are also in European measurements too just wondering...
Thanks for the review, I bought it the other week, I was a but disappointed that some of the projects are from the last series tbh but there are some nice ones too, I will be making the maxi dress first I think. It does say that it's for confident beginners, so not aimed at people with zero sewing skills but I really think there are some projects in there that could be tackled by beginners, you've got to start somewhere!
Thanks for the review Kate. Much appreciated. I have this as a birthday present. Not really impressed. Hate , hate the feel of it. My hands are dry from washing. I may have to wax the outside of the book. Also it has nothing to do with the makes , so far, in the program. Very odd indeed. Based on What I’ve seen so far, I think this is being mis sold. Really enjoy your reviews. Nothing against you at all.
Thank you for the book preview. I will be ordering my copy. I love the midi wrap skirt, bomber jacket, and the jumpsuit shorts! 😊 Thank you again and stay safe.😷
Thanks for the review! I have ordered the book but haven’t received it yet. Do you think the men’s jacket is the one they made last season, of Patrick’s own design?
Thanks so much Kate for your review on this book 👌. I love that they have advice for trouser fittings...should be very helpful when I eventually get around to trouser making 😋😁💟😘
Thank you, Kate.. ❤ It's lovely to have the Bee for us all to enjoy together. (For everyone not in the UK, I have a "friend" 🤐🇨🇦 who uses the Express VPN service to change their IP address to one in the UK. It's then possible to use BBC Iplayer to watch as soon as the episodes have been aired. Imagine!? Not that I'd condone any such naughtiness, of course. 😊 If only the BBC would let those in other countries legitimately pay to watch, I'm sure they'd rake it in.)
I really enjoyed video, this as my book arrived yesterday. I liked the trouser adjustment page also and found myself stopping on that page for read. I’m doing more dressmaking this year than I normally do, so I’m definitely going to watch GBSB this year. I’m looking forward to going out fabric shopping again. Stay safe. X
Thank you for the book review! I ordered it and it’s arrived from via Italy to the USA! I glanced through it but didn’t give it a proper a analyze like you did! Very helpful. I’m sewing a lot with Lisa Comfort’s live sew-a-longs each morning. It’s 1PM UK time on her SOI TH-cam Channel. That might get you in the mood to sew again! I think she’s just doing Monday - Wednesday starting next week. Fun to see her home with her parents and Jasmine, Poppy and Coco. Hugs from across the world (Oregon) to you Kate!
Thanks for your review. I am a bit disapointed about the patterns in the book. Some remind me of TATB and some of indie patterns. I reckon the title "Sustainable Style" is a bit of misleading.
I have got to figure out how to watch this! And follow along-you have such a welcoming presence that gives me a sense of well-being every time I watch you. I don’t have cable right now because I only sew, create other things and buy fabric on line of course. No major projects in the works, just more fabric. Ugh! I’m glad to hear others are having trouble buckling down. Im going to sort the viewing of the sewing bee. Thanks for the great review, I will be picking the book up, I will run thru it trace what I want and hand it on to my bestie. He’s a newbie and I like to fan the flames of his sewing ability’. He will love the flared trousers for sure. Thanks for another lovely video.
Always useful to have such a visual review of a book, so thanks for that. Apart from making an apron from old jeans and mending clothes, what is the sustainable angle? it doesn't look as if they're recycling old clothes in the book but perhaps they will in the show itself.
I am also not a fan of shiny finishes on book pages! I have been waiting for this book to be available in the States, of course now I have to save up to afford it. I hope that you and everyone around you is feeling healthy, but I understand not being able to concentrate properly to get on with it. Mostly I have been sewing cloth surgical masks, and frankly, I do not think it is doing much for my personal mental health. Hang in there!
If you are a complete beginner, as in not made ant garments yet then I would say no and recommend Tilly's book: www.amazon.co.uk/Love-First-Stitch-Demystifying-Dressmaking/dp/1849493650/ref=pd_lpo_14_t_0/259-8397462-8723361?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1849493650&pd_rd_r=e5ba8303-88ea-4651-8c2c-abc608c1bcba&pd_rd_w=zz6RG&pd_rd_wg=T5Zti&pf_rd_p=7b8e3b03-1439-4489-abd4-4a138cf4eca6&pf_rd_r=4ZKT3M3TRGNVN8E8B8N6&psc=1&refRID=4ZKT3M3TRGNVN8E8B8N6 If you have made a few things then it would be a good level for you - hope that helps!
Rachel by “get this” do you mean the book or the programme “the Great British Sewing Bee”? The GBSB is or was on TH-cam in some countries. I guess the producers took pity on us and allowed it to be put up. I definitely binge watched in Canada, I haven’t checked recently to see if it’s still there.
Can’t wait for the bee, I’ve had to turn down all sorts of invitations to make some space in my social calendar 😅
Helen Loney oh we’re you going out? 😀😀

Very good point Pauline, the book is usually released mid series & then it was scheduled to be on around April 9th but that got changed too

The jumpsuit on curvy figure was the clincher for me purchasing the book 👏 it’s a beaut 🙌🌟
I know, it was for me too - enjoy!
What a shame that the sizes are not particularly inclusive. But thankyou for the review. I not to waste my time or money on it.

Another sewing book on my list. Looks great.

You too Claire and enjoy this series x
Thanks for the review I am going to buy it
Thank you for the book review! I ordered it and it’s arrived from via Italy to the USA! I glanced through it but didn’t give it a proper a analyze like you did! Very helpful. I’m sewing a lot with Lisa Comfort’s live sew-a-longs each morning. It’s 1PM UK time on her SOI TH-cam Channel. That might get you in the mood to sew again!

Yes I've seen her videos - glad you are enjoying them! big hug back at ya! x
Thank you didn’t know the show was coming on. I am in New York so I hope I will able to see it.
Thanks for your review. I am a bit disapointed about the patterns in the book. Some remind me of TATB and some of indie patterns. I reckon the title "Sustainable Style" is a bit of misleading.
Was there ever a book for season 5?
I have got to figure out how to watch this! And follow along-you have such a welcoming presence that gives me a sense of well-being every time I watch you. I don’t have cable right now because I only sew, create other things and buy fabric on line of course. No major projects in the works, just more fabric. Ugh! I’m glad to hear others are having trouble buckling down. Im going to sort the viewing of the sewing bee. Thanks for the great review, I will be picking the book up, I will run thru it trace what I want and hand it on to my bestie. He’s a newbie and I like to fan the flames of his sewing ability’. He will love the flared trousers for sure. Thanks for another lovely video.
I think the less pressure we put on ourselves to 'get stuff done with our new free time' the better. Take it at your own pace. xx
Thanks, I did not know it was due to start
Thanks, Kate! Have a lovely weekend!!
Always useful to have such a visual review of a book, so thanks for that. Apart from making an apron from old jeans and mending clothes, what is the sustainable angle? it doesn't look as if they're recycling old clothes in the book but perhaps they will in the show itself.
I think this series is going to focus on that.. that is just a guess but it's the hot topic these days so it would make sense!
I am also not a fan of shiny finishes on book pages! I have been waiting for this book to be available in the States, of course now I have to save up to afford it. I hope that you and everyone around you is feeling healthy, but I understand not being able to concentrate properly to get on with it. Mostly I have been sewing cloth surgical masks, and frankly, I do not think it is doing much for my personal mental health. Hang in there!
you too Michele and hope you enjoy the book x
🇨🇦 Needs the 🐝.
Can anyone suggest me whether is this the book right for me, I am a begginer will it be useful to make a productive outcome
If you are a complete beginner, as in not made ant garments yet then I would say no and recommend Tilly's book: www.amazon.co.uk/Love-First-Stitch-Demystifying-Dressmaking/dp/1849493650/ref=pd_lpo_14_t_0/259-8397462-8723361?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1849493650&pd_rd_r=e5ba8303-88ea-4651-8c2c-abc608c1bcba&pd_rd_w=zz6RG&pd_rd_wg=T5Zti&pf_rd_p=7b8e3b03-1439-4489-abd4-4a138cf4eca6&pf_rd_r=4ZKT3M3TRGNVN8E8B8N6&psc=1&refRID=4ZKT3M3TRGNVN8E8B8N6
If you have made a few things then it would be a good level for you - hope that helps!
Sold me on the book, I had kinda been ignoring it.
I love your blouse too!
Hello and thank you for the video. Where can I get the book please?
You can get it online - there is a link to amazon above x
Drats! doesn't ship to USA, need to check canada.
Fingers crossed you can fine one!
If anyone knows how to get this in Canada let me know!
Rachel by “get this” do you mean the book or the programme “the Great British Sewing Bee”? The GBSB is or was on TH-cam in some countries. I guess the producers took pity on us and allowed it to be put up. I definitely binge watched in Canada, I haven’t checked recently to see if it’s still there.

I am struggling to concentrate and what I have found helps is giving yourself one goal at a time.
Great idea!
