I was scared because I didn’t want to mess up.” We’re a real little community,” she says. “It’s fabulous how the sewers bond and help each other. They’ll carry on being friends and will meet up with [contestants from] different series.” I’d only ever seen clips of Sewing Bee on my computer. It’s a new experience for me talking to the camera, but everybody has been helpful and made me feel really relaxed. Well, I was never really relaxed, but they made it easy for me,” she laughs. After the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee burst onto our screens in 2013, we all fell in love with the art of sewing and embroidery all over again, but the fun hasn't stopped with the end of this year's series.Then, as he recovered in hospital in East Grinstead, West Sussex, Brian fell in love with Esme’s mother Patricia, a “glamorous and full of life” nurse.
Hmmm this wasn’t really all that well done, sorry. It sort of glossed over all the actual fashion bits I was interested in. Recycling fabrics is a top priority on Sewing Bee, a feelgood TV favourite set to reach the final of the eighth series later this month. The course in Cambridge taught me everything I needed to know about art – drawing, sculpture, printing… it was very practical and we got to try everything. They had a brilliant graphics department, with lecturers including people like Roger Law (Spitting Image), which is why I then applied to study graphics at what is now Central St Martins. It was a wonderful time – I remember feeling like anything was possible and I could whatever I wanted.As with most memoirs, I found the chapters about her early life slow going - these sections always take me longer to read as it’s not the part of the persons life you are familiar with but give a great insight into what makes this person who they are. While watching the last series of Sewing Bee I said to my parents “I wish Esme would bring a book out, she’s had an amazing life by the sounds of it!” , and then not long after, she did! Covering her childhood, family life, career starts and many highs, friendships, teaching and ending up with her much loved time as a judge on The great British sewing bee (which is one of my favourite cosy shows). This was interesting, filled with heart and humour, and just also so inspiring reading of Esmes love for what she does and how she was fired up with that passion and self belief from the start. Now Esme, a graduate of the prestigious fashion school Central Saint Martins, where she teaches pattern cutting, is hoping to help inspire more people to take up sewing.
