In the final episode of The Great British Sewing Bee , Annie, 32, a junior buyer from Surrey emerged triumphant as the winner of this years series. Annie made it through ten weeks of tough sewing challenges and became Britains Best Amateur Sewer of 2022. Throughout the series 12 talented home sewers created beautiful garments under the scrutiny of judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant, but it was Annie who won the coveted title. As the series went on, she became a more confident sewer and won Garment of the Week in episodes 6, 8 and 9. Over the course of the series, the sewers made a Capsule Wardrobe in the first episode and then went on to make High Top Trainers in Sportswear Week; a Shirred Midi Dress in Summer Week; a dress from old duvet covers in Reduce Reuse Recycle Week; a Sailor Suit in Childrens Week; a mod parka and an outf...

Make your own origami Santa using a single piece of square paper. There is no cutting or glueing involved in this tutorial, and although there are a lot of steps, there are no tricky folds, and we have step-by-step photography for each step. This origami Santa will take around 10 - 15 minutes to fold, although you may take a little longer the first time around. Work on a hard, flat surface so that you can achieve the best folds. If you have a bone folder or paper creaser, use this to burnish each fold and flatten the creases for crisp folds. This will help you later in the tutorial too, as there become more layers to fold at once, and the paper becomes stiffer. This origami Santa will lay flat, so its ideal for adding to the front of a card as a focal feature! Choose some paper that is single-sided with a white reverse side, as thi...

Whether you fancy making some quick bunting or are planning on hooking up an angular patchwork blanket, understanding how to crochet a triangle is a fun introduction to the world of crochet geometry. If youre new to crochet, you may find our post on how to increase in crochet stitches a useful companion to this post. Making a crochet triangle is actually surprisingly easy, as unlike many other shapes where you would need to work in the round, triangles can be made in rows with simple increase stitches. In this tutorial were going to focus on making an equilateral triangle (where all 3 angles are the same), as these are the easiest and perhaps most useful type of crocheted triangle. Crochet triangles are generally made by doing an increase stitch (working two stitches into one stitch) at the end of alternate rows. Its worth no...

The return of The Great British Sewing Bee to our screens is something we look forward to every year! We love the Sewing Bee and the chance to enjoy the sewists highs and lows. From outlandish made to measures to trickier-than-ever transformations, we expect the Great British Sewing Bee 2022 to offer up lashings of sewing room drama with the eagle-eyed judging weve grown to love from Patrick and Esme. Joe Lycetts humour and supportive approach to hosting will be greatly missed, but were looking forward to seeing what new host comedian Sara Pascoe brings to the show in 2022. We interviewed Sara about her new role on the show which you can read right here on Gathered! Meet Sara Pascoe from the Great British Sewing Bee. We update this page each week while the show is on the air and reveal the latest news about the Great British Sewin...
