If you are interested in crafts or sewing you might be interested in watching “Det store symesterskapet” (the Norwegian version of “The Great British Sewing Bee” which is premiering August 31st on NRK at 19.45 (GMT +1)
And yes, that’s me in the back on the right 😉
After having binge watched the Nowegian and British version in early January I sent in an application for the second season, and amazingly enough I was chosen as 1 of 8 to compete!
The main reasons I wanted to do this was because I was really curious to see what I can do under the circumstances in the show.. While watching I always thought to myself that I can do better… but could I really? What was that time pressure really like? I had to find out…
I also thought it would be great to do so many different challenges that I would never do in my own time, and also just to get to sew a bunch! After finishing university, getting a full time job and having my son (who is now 3,5 already!) it’s really hard to find time to sew, by doing this I would at least get some fun, intensive days of creativity and sewing 🙂
It’s really exciting to be a part of this and I hope some of you will enjoy watching the show as well 🙂
