Behind the Seams: The perfect gift for fans of The Great British Sewing Bee

Product Information

I am quite nosey about people and it interests me to find out how people have arrived where they are and that's how I decided to read this book. Covering her childhood, family life, career starts and many highs, friendships, teaching and ending up with her much loved time as a judge on The great British sewing bee (which is one of my favourite cosy shows).

I’d highly recommend if you’re a fan of Sewing Bee and just want to find out more about Esme, it was a really lovely read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learnt a lot about pattern cutting I didn't know - in fact enough to make me not only respect the pattern cutter a great deal more, but to make me want to learn more and try to be a bit more adventurous myself.

She has one of those lives that just seems to natural and brilliant, she met the right people in fun places and is very humble and gorgeous. Esme and the gang were at the heart of the 70s when people were looking for “out there”, and when punk was around the corner.From adventures at Central Saint Martins to The Great British Sewing Bee , go behind the scenes of Esme Young's amazing life. I love The sewing Bee, and love Esme Young who is a judge on the program, but the book was disappointing. Like many, I was first introduced to Esme Young via the Great British Sewing Bee, where she is a judge along with Patrick Grant. In the last series in particular, there have been some tantalising hints about her previous life as a designer for the avant garde Swanky Modes, so I was really looking forward to learning more.

This was interesting, filled with heart and humour, and just also so inspiring reading of Esmes love for what she does and how she was fired up with that passion and self belief from the start. It must have been a tough and difficult time - she does admit to being scared - but this was a feel good book.Her work has been featured in a range of magazines and newspapers including Vogue , ID , The Face , The Sunday Times and so much more. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. While he is the dapper, sartorially precise voice of the pairing, she's always had a cheeky glint in her eye, and the occasional allusions to her past career and life made me reach for this book - I listened to her read it herself via Audible.
