I do love that in the 'Pile it high sell it cheap' world of many high-street fashion stores that we have come to expect (and please don't get me wrong - I am the first to grab a bargain and my staple clothing is several plain white T-Shirts from the front runner of them all 'Primarni'!), there is enough interest for the BBC to produce a programme proving that there are still people out there who do spend time and effort and more importantly have a real skill for producing a handmade item of clothing that won't be worn once, then chucked at the bottom of the wardrobe to only be carted off to a car-boot in 2 years time! Of course, I think my favourite bit about the whole show is drooling at the fabric and haberdashery in the background of every shot - and just wishing it was all mine!
Tonight we are promised a series of challenges, where the contestants must make a simple tunic out of cotton, transform a high street skirt, and make a made-to-measure silk nightgown. BBC2 - 8pm tonight - I'll certainly be watching.
