GBSB Fashion With Fabric: A Review + Giveaway

posted by Marie on Friday, March 06, 2015 130 comments



Thanks to Quadrille, today I'm reviewing The Great British Sewing Bee Fashion with Fabric and giving away a copy to one lucky reader in the UK! Although I can't compare it to the books from the first two series of the popular BBC show - I don't own them - I can tell you that I'm pretty impressed with it as a standalone book.


As I had a bit of 'free' time on my hands, I decided to make a project from the book for a well-rounded review. Predictably, my love of vintage drew me to the Walkaway Dress - based on Butterick 6015 from 1952 - which featured as one of the challenges in Episode 3. Look out for a full reveal of my dress soon!



I found the instructions to be well illustrated, but a little lacking on the written explanation part. The book isn't aimed at beginners and does make assumptions that the reader has a good understanding of basic techniques. However, it provides excellent guides to Core Skills like setting in sleeves, inserting an invisible zip, shirring, and many more.

Overall, it's an excellent reference book covering topics like common sewing terms, choosing fabrics, how to use the patterns, and basic hand sewing stitches. It also contains some great tips for equipment, as it explores the use of more challenging fabrics.

In fact, its exploration of challenging fabrics is one of the book's greatest strengths. It's broken down into four fabric categories - cottons, wool and other animal fibres, stretch fabrics, luxury fabrics - each category complete with a comprehensive breakdown of types of fabric, as well as a super useful glossary.



If you're like me, you'll be pleased to know that the whopping 30 projects on offer are all of the dressmaking kind! There's so many of them that they even come in a separate slipcase! The bad news is that you have to trace them out (eurgh!!!), but the good news is that each pattern sheet is clearly labelled with the projects it contains (phew!!!).

COTTONS



WOOL AND OTHER ANIMAL FIBRES


STRETCH FABRICS


LUXURY FABRICS


Undoubtedly, the best part of this book is the variety of desirable and wearable projects on offer. There's literally something for everyone, whether you're a selfish or selfless stitcher. There's also enough choice to strike the delicate balance between enticing a beginner and challenging someone more experienced. 

If you're a UK resident, this is your chance to win a free copy of Fashion With Fabric! Just leave a comment and your email address below by midnight GMT on Thursday 12 March. I'll then pick a winner at random and the good people at Quadrille will do the rest!

    Oh I have loved this series of the Sewing Bee! And the projects look amazing. Lorna's curtain skirt was one of my favourites and I love that there are some more challenging ones like the corset. Your walkaway dress looks fantastic - will look forward to reading about it in more detail.

    Will your walkaway dress count towards the #VintagePledge? I'd love to win the book- looks there's lots of great wardrobe-builder projects in there as well as a few challenges! The Sewing Bee is wonderful, I love that there's a TV show just about people earnestly trying to improve their skills without all the battling egos and desperation to get noticed that other TV competition shows have (and as a result I love all the contestants and want them all to win!).

    This book looks really great. It's great to see the actual patterns that you see in the series appearing in the book too. I have the first sewing bee book and this seems a much better book. The first book doesn't have as many projects as this. Plus the first one I tried from it had mislabelled pattern pieces, which was a bit off-putting. I haven't tried anything from it since.

    The walk away dress is definitely my favourite, I love the idea of a 50s lady starting to sew it up in the morning and twirling out of the house in it during the afternoon to meet friends for tea. Absolutely fabulous! Good luck with yours.

    I'm seeing such great reviews of this book, it's really making me want my own copy! I've already ordered a copy of the Walkaway dress, and now I just hope it turns out as well as yours!

    Actually I own the book already, but can I still enter please, as I'd give it to my friend who sews and has been obsessively watching the Sewing Bee! My first make from the book will be walkaway dress (got the fabric & binding all ready), followed by the capri trousers, and then I think I'll have to have a go at making a corset - the contestants corsets all looked so fabulous!

    Fell in love with the walkaway dress as soon as I saw it on GBSB - and your version is gorgeous! The book looks amazing, much better than other ones I've seen from the series :) Makes me want to get sewing right this minute!!

    Organizing the book show and e book according to fabric type makes loaded of sense to me and I need to get my confidence up to try some luxury fabrics!

    I can't make up my mind about the Walkaway dress! I love the look, but am worried it wouldn't work in real life...

    I really want to try the walk away dress too, I've been meaning to make it for ages and the sewing bee might just have given me the final push.

    Interesting review I love the look of the walkaway dress but the reviews put me off. Maybe I should give it a go.

    I'm eyeing up the walkaway dress, the leather jacket and the lace skirt from this book, I'm sure with a good browse I could come up with other projects I desperately need to make :D
