It was Art Week on the Great British Sewing Bee and it was one of the most creative episodes yet! Contestants had to create modernist-inspired skirts, re-work painted canvases into sculptural garments and create a made-to-measure inspired by the surrealist movement! 

If you loved the look of the taffeta skirt in the first challenge then look no further. The Atelier Scammit Arpege Skirt will give you a ver similar look. This skirt has a full gathered skirt, waistband and bow to finish! For a summery version, why not make it in a cotton poplin such as our Essie Cotton Poplin in Pink.

Whilst we loved the sculptural elements of the re-fashioning challenge, we were really impressed by the made-to-measure challenge. 

From Mia's cloud dress to Asmaa's snake dress, there was so much creativity this week. We LOVED Fauve's leather and lace dress - you could recreate it by pairing our Soft Stretch Vegan Leather with the Trend Patterns Asymmetric Hem Dress for a similar feel.

Finally, if you loved the surrealist theme then why not add an eye embellishment to your makes - we love this one by Bohin!

Happy Sewing!
