I don't know about you, but I love the shows that the BBC comes out with: <i>Call the Midwife</i>, <i>Sherlock</i>, <i>Doctor Who</i>, <i>The Great British Bake Off</i>, etc.... Recently I discovered the show, <i>The Great British Sewing Bee</i> on YouTube and it is the perfect sewing show! It features the history of home sewing and fashion in Britain's history -- fascinating stuff! But not only that, it also shows sewing techniques & projects and how you can do them yourself, which is handy for home sewists who would like some sewing tips while watching a television show. Oh, yes, another thing I love about <i>The Great British Sewing Bee</i> is the music! Gotta love listening Doris Day while watching a sewing show -- perfect for the vintage girl at heart.<br />
<br />
If you would like to watch the show yourself, search <u style="font-style: italic;">The Great British Sewing Bee episode 1</u> on YouTube to find the first episode. I won't embed the episodes below, because you never know how long they will stay up. Btw, there are only four episodes.<br />
<br />
Have fun watching!Bramblewood Fashionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867338837999400697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065682241647202553.post-60608400840574640672013-06-16T21:49:00.000-04:002013-06-16T21:49:04.236-04:00House of Love by: Elizabeth Cheney {1914}<div style="text-align: center;">

There is something about them that I just love. Maybe it is the photos? The trivia? Interviews? I don't know what, but they sure are intriguing.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">The magazine I'll be featuring today is one of my favorites - Movie Life (April, 1940). Why? It has an article of one of my favorite actresses - Deanna Durbin. That may, or may not be the reason why I bought this magazine. *grin*</span><br />

<i>The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. </i> <br />
