Great British Sewing Bee

**The Q** · 26th February 15, 02:25 PM

I've just watched the sewing bee kilt programming. It was their major task of the weekend, they were given only 7 1/2 hours to make a kilt!!
Two chose to do ladies kilts, a couple were true traditional kilts and some were denim type (with out pockets)
Not surprisingly some were disasters the most common failing appeared to be not fitting the reinforcement to the inside of the kilt.
The male sewing expert (saville row) appeared to be wearing a Saxon jacket, and his kilt at the bottom of his knee which is where he said he wanted to see it!! Obviously a expert on sewing but not on kilts!!
Right those who don't want to know the best look away now!

The British army man a lieutenant colonel!! completed a traditional kilt which from what I could see was darn near perfect!! Culodden tartan.
