It's back and we all need The Great British Sewing Bee more than ever. Watching a group of contestants make garments the wonderful Joe Lycett running around to find buttons was an hour of much needed escapism.

I've recently started stocking The Avid Seamstress patterns and decided to roadtest The Blouse with Atelier Brunette's Granito in off-white.

I finished it! I had this at the top of my projects pile for a couple of weeks and I'm overjoyed with the result.
