Buy The Products Inspired by Great British Sewing Bee at WhiteTree Fabrics.

The much-anticipated third series of the Great British Sewing Bee is about to hit our screens on Thursday 5th February at 8pm.  Accompanying the show is an increased interest for all things sewing and the race is on to find the exciting fabrics chosen by contestants in each episode. Online haberdashery store White Tree Fabrics will be helping sewers locate the fabrics and accessories as inspired by the popular BBC2 series.

Sewing is one of the more recent do it yourself trends that has soared in popularity, certainly due in part to the success of programs like the BBC2's Great British Sewing Bee.  It's inspired the nation to dust off their sewing skills and create their own DIY fashion.

Lisa Washington, Marketing Manager at White Tree Fabrics talks about what the Great British Sewing Bee has done for the industry.  "We've seen a huge rise in interest and demand from people looking to create their own clothes, but also soft furnishings, bags and gifts.  The show has also inspired hundreds of amazing blogs, projects and communities and there's no end to the creativity. Lots of sewers we talk to who are looking for fabric advice are totally inspired by the program and want to find the exact fabrics, patterns and supplies they have seen used by contestants.  We will be running regular updates after each episode across our website and on social media to share with our followers the products inspired by the show."

The judges for the third series includes May Martin from the Women's Institute and Saville Row's Patrick Grant.  The show will be presented by Claudia Winkleman who has become more widely known since her stint presenting on the popular BBC Strictly Come Dancing program.

The contestants this year look an eclectic bunch ranging from various business fields including IT, Marketing and administration, a head teacher, a cheese maker, a student studying menswear and a Lieutenant colonel in the Army! Series three may yet yield its first ever man to take the title as Great British Sewing Bee champion!

The sewing challenges are certainly not for the faint-hearted. From constructing clothes from scratch, to up-cycling garments, the show certainly puts the contestants through their paces and makes for fantastic viewing.
