Great British Sewing Bee Episode 5 Series 10 - Patterns and Fabrics

[@anouchkavandendoel]

I love his type of video because even if I don’t fancy any of the patterns, it really helps me understand what fabric types are used for each pattern, which I can then use to choose fabrics for similar patterns I want to sew! I find buying fabric really hard online so videos like this are invaluable!

That's great to hear Anouchka thanks for watching and sharing your feedback

[@helenhamilton9473]

such beautiful fabrics! Thank you for the pattern searches too

[@SewEssential]

It's a pleasure, it's getting easier as the weeks go on and there are less contestants, I managed to get to bed at 11 last night, an improvement on burning the midnight oil the previous weeks!

I'm amazed that it's so difficult to find a modern Nehru jacket pattern - it's such a classic, popular style.

Cotton melange is great - I bought this from you earlier in the year made a shirt which I’ve worn loads - Experimental space Hailey pattern 👍

[@SewEssential]

I'm so glad you like it, it is such a gorgeous fabric.

[@angelanicholson951]

I like the colour of your outfit. Can you tell me which fabric it is, please?

[@anouchkavandendoel]

My thoughts exactly!

[@SewEssential]

Ah thank you, it's an old brushed cotton we had many years ago on the site I'm afraid, it is such a lovely colour and so soft. This Robert Kaufmann chambray with cute neon flecks is a similar hue and i really want to make something out of this too: www.sewessential.co.uk/blue-and-neon-flecks-cotton-woven-fabric-blue

Oooh thanks for sharing.

[@lindahopkins4389]

I have searched their website looking for it without success 😕. If possible could you please share the pattern name or, even better, a link to it? Many thanks 😊

[@debgreenhill9724]

I saw it on Amazon when I did a Foljwear Patterns search. They appear to be updating their size range on their patterns. The older patterns I have only goes up to size 16, which is a 46 in British sizing.

The Folkwear Pattern is #135. Called "Jewels of India". Contains Kurta Shirt, Kamiz Tunic, Churidar Pants and Gandhi Hat
