On BBC 1 there is a programme called ‘The Sewing Bee’ – there are 3 parts
The Pattern Challenge
The Makeover Challenge
The Made to Measure Challenge – let’s rethink this challenge!
The Methlick School Eco Sewing Bee – Pattern Challenge
To follow the pattern to succeed
The Methlick School Eco Sewing Bee – Makeover Challenge
To ‘makeover’ an old piece of clothing and turn it into a bee or any pollinator of your choice!
Each week on the television programme contestants are given an everyday item to makeover into a new item in a very short amount of time. Last week each contestant had a sleeping bag and they had to make a children’s costume. The results were amazing!
The Methlick School Eco Sewing Bee Cardboard Challenge
No fabric then why not try this cardboard sewing challenge instead!
I hope you enjoy taking part in one of these challenges or inventing your own!

My daughter was bored on Saturday. It was snowing! She was grumbling! Eventually she agreed to have a go at making a bee and she surprised herself! She made her own pattern and sewed from lunchtime until late evening until she finished! Sewing is a very important skill for her future career as she is studying to become a vet so this was good practise as well.
Making, sewing, building, tinkering away at a project in your imagination can be very absorbing. You can forget about everything around you for a while!
I have enlisted the help of some amazing bee keepers to help us with this grid task. From just a small request they have produced an amazing amount of videos filled with lots of facts for us to listen to!
To help with writing the factfile there is also the youtube link on the grid. In the sway at the beginning you will see a checklist you can use when watching the videos. When we are listening out for facts it is always a good idea to know what you are listening out for.
Please enjoy the interview with our special guest!
Bee Keepers Go LIVE!
