Sewing bee cupcakes for the sewing bee final!

I don't know how, but soon after Saturday's epic meet-up I mustered the stamina to hotfoot it down to London again this Tuesday. Well, I do know how - tired or not, there was no way I was missing out on the chance to watch the Great British Sewing Bee final with seven sewing celebrities!

Tilly graciously hosted us (yep, we got to see where the magic happens and gets photographed) and as you'd expect it was loads of fun. The bubbly flowed, the nibbles never ended and there was a lot of chatter and laughter. Oh, and we did actually watch the final episode too...congratulations Ann, your experience and skills certainly deserved the recognition!

Janene (ooobop!), Tilly (Tilly and the Buttons) & Rachel (House of Pinheiro)


Zoe (So, Zo...What do you know?), Janene & Tilly


I look up to all of these wonderful women and feel very lucky that I got to enjoy their company on such a relaxed evening. And getting to hear some backstage gossip from Tilly didn't hurt either. The icing on the cake though (pun intended), was a batch of sewing bee cupcakes baked by none other than Rachel - the all round domestic goddess. Aren't they too cute? They tasted delicious too!



We're left with a void in our Tuesday night TV viewing for now, but have you seen that Love Productions have already started recruiting for a second series? Will you be applying?

  2. Love the cupcakes! Now, I'm not British, but I wouldn't apply anyway, the first series made me realise my sewing skills are not up to par.
