That sounds interesting.

If it was on at the NEC, I'd go to it...I know I can get there and back easily.

I was thinking about going but then just found out that my husband's best friend and his family will be visiting us from the U.S... So, I will be most likely in London that weekend, doing the touristy things, but not quite east enough to hop in Excel  :'(

Has anyone studied in more detail who is going to be tutoring at this?

Go and look at their website and on the tutors, also on exactly what different types of sewing etc are going to be available.

I think you may well be surprised at a very familiar name to those who were part of TSF.

I did one of her workshops at a sewing show a couple of years back and it was very good but I am not going to do another.

Obviously not enough takers. I thoroughly enjoyed the TV show, but can't imagine how a live one will work.  -<

ExCel is not a very nice venue (even smaller than Olympia) and the last time I went there, quite a lot of the space was roped off.  It will be packed, crammed and very hot.

No, just wear your Sewing Place badges with pride  0_0

Doubt if I'll get there, weve got the builders starting on 11th, though by then I might be in need of respite and rehabilitation.

Well I only recognised two names (both from K&S classes) and have no idea who was involved with TSF.

They do seem to be flogging special offers for the tickets though.

Absolutely no interest in GBSB live, but I am going to Ally Pally in October and really must order a badge.  :D

I went to this yesterday with Lachica, had a lovely day. We saw Patrick Grant and Esme Young interviewed by Jenny Eclair, very interesting. Lots of other things on too, we enjoyed it but it wasn't as big as we'd expected.

I enjoyed it, but it was a lot smaller than we expected. Fabric Lover and I commented that if we hadn't spent an hour in the theatre, 20 mins watching the Vogue catwalk show and 15 mins watching a demo on jersey neck bindings, we'd have felt a bit cheated. We paid full price for our tickets, I will never do that again as there were so many ways to get free entry. The fabric shops were great, we've added to our stashes! Jenny Eclair was a great compère in the theatre, perhaps she could present the next series?

That is absolutely gorgeous. It must all be done by hand.
