Who's been watching the British sewing bee on the BBC? We've been getting lots of calls from people who have been inspired by the show, and are now looking to learn to sew, and this makes us very happy!

The show is really bringing a mainstream focus back to home-dressmaking and personal sewing skills, which is exactly what we want at Fashion Antidote.
Workshops and classes all over the UK are booming with first time sewers and makers, learning to stitch their own clothes and furnishings. Programmes like The British Sewing Bee are great for promoting DIY sewing skills and making your own clothes. We especially love how this show in particular is advocating the real practical skills that go into making a garment, and the time it takes to make a simple garment like a skirt. It throws into harsh perspective the low prices on much of fast fashion, and hopefully goes some way to promote quality over quantity!
We've got lots of sewing courses for the complete beginner, home dressmaker, or fashion entrepreneur. Get started with learning to sew, and then why not tackle our Simple Skirt or Simple Dress courses? We'll get you stitching in no time.
The Sewing Bee website has some great video's with sewing tips on - have a look at this shift dress how to:
