The Great British Sewing Bee 2020
The three contestants who made it to the nail-biting final were Nicole Akong, Matt Gage and Clare Bradley.
In the finale, 38-year-old doctor Clare had the edge on Nicole and Matt, as her speciality was in vintage clothing and traditional sewing. The final challenge set to the contestants was making tea dresses and 1920s flapper dresses; Clare was completely in her element!
Speaking of her win, Clare Bradley said:
I feel really surprised. Crikey! I do hold myself to high standards and because other things I have gone in for are things I have trained for like exams and more exams – this was something I did for fun.
Clare’s final piece was a made-to-measure 1930s evening gown made for colleague Alex, an anaesthetist who works at the same hospital as Clare.
