I've studied and learnt skills over the years but the ease with which I 'pick things up' and that way of just knowing how to do something without ever being shown suggests to me an inherited ability. :DChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-71034064321869936152013-12-22T11:07:47.464-05:002013-12-22T11:07:47.464-05:00Oh I did see the Great British Sewing Bee Christma...Oh I did see the Great British Sewing Bee Christmas Special last Sunday - I really enjoyed it. I loved the first series but was slightly disappointed that they just including dressmaking so was pleased to see other sewn crafts included in this special. <br /><br />I <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/dec/16/great-british-sewing-bee-tv-review" rel="nofollow">found The Guardian review here</a> - it's just dreadful and I don't think it's a true reflection of the change in society back towards handmade crafts.

I'd love one. Very cross with reviewer in The Guardian who disparaged all the home made gifts on Great British Sewing Bee (you probably didn't see this) in favour of a i pad etc. I love home made gifts. It means someone took the trouble to do something just for me.
