If you have't heard of it, it's the crafting equivalent to The Great British Bake Off and it's due on soon!
Even more exciting, it's being presented by.....

I love, love, love Claudia Winkleman so for me it's a double treat. Crafting goodliness and the dry wit and banter of Ms Winkleman. A win, win for me.
I don't know when it's starting but it must be soon as the book is due for release at the end of the month.
I've pre-ordered my copy already through sheer excitement. I hope it's going to be good. Apparently it will "provide amateur sewers everywhere with all the technical knowhow and inspiring projects they need to produce a core collection of 25 fabulous garments and homewares. From a child's sundress and a swinging circular skirt to unisex pyjama trousers, a tea dress and a waistcoat, the garments offer something for both sexes and all ages. The homewares and accessories include aprons, bags, cushions and window dressings. In addition to this core collection, 4 winning designs from the series are also included: a simple daytime dress, a child's party dress, a jacket and an evening dress - all with complete instructions and full-size patterns." (Thanks to Sainsbury's for this blurb)
I have the high hopes that this book will provide me with all the necessary know-how to be able to start making my own dresses.
Watch this space!
In the meantime I hope you are all keeping warm with the increasing amount of snow that is falling. This weekend, the girls and I are meant to be staying in the Lake District. This may not happen now.
