The Great British Sewing Bee Series 3
Deadline: March 16, 2014 (EMAIL)
The Great British Sewing Bee
Love Productions
BBC Two
London, England
Series 3
Applications are now being accepted for series 3 of The Great British Sewing Bee!
There is a quiet revolution happening in Britain. People are buying sewing machines, going to needlework classes and making their own clothes again. The passion for sewing, it seems, is back.
In this series, some of the nation's most talented amateur sewers compete to be named Britain's best home sewer.
The judges put the sewers through their paces. Each week they test the sewers' ability to follow a pattern - for everything from a simple A-line skirt to a complicated man's shirt. They challenge them to transform a high street buy under intense time pressure, and finally, the sewers are asked to produce made-to-measure garments - from tailored jackets to stunning evening gowns - which must be a perfect fit.

All work, whether one of a kind pieces or limited editions, should be well conceived and expertly executed without technical faults; works should be made by hand or with the use of appropriate tools, showing imagination and the mark of the craft artist's individuality.
Emerging Artist Category
To encourage the participation of craft artists who are beginning their careers, an Emerging Artist category is available. This option is open only to those who have been working at their craft for six (6) years or less and have not exhibited at the PMA Craft Show. The application procedure and fees are the same as above. However, those who check the emerging artist category will be juried separately from the other applicants. If you choose to apply as an emerging artist, you must do so exclusively. Those who are accepted will have the option to share a booth with one or two other emerging artists, thereby reducing their booth expenses or pay a reduced fee for a full booth.
