Tuesday is the final of the BBC's Great British Sewing Bee. I am already in my mourning weeds and hoping that sewing, like cooking, is about to become a minor national obsession.
I can forsee an epidemic of programmes dedicated to the needle and its art: Come Tack With Me; Masterstitcher; The Great British Dressmaker. Celebrity judges will appear and choose the contestants whom they want to go onto the live shows on the basis of blind top-stitching competitions. There will be live auditions in front of a studio audience to find the sewer with the cross-stitch factor. There will be books, dvds, magazines!
On Saturday 27th April The Vintage Bazaar is once again in Hartley Wintney and I have been busy painting the unprepared items I found hibernating at the back of the garage. But I also found time for some knitting and believe that I have created what the world has been waiting for - a knitted cherub!
I have to say that they are not completely anatomically correct, but they do have tummy buttons and bottoms ....
