    In today’s episode, we’re delighted to welcome Alexia Barrett from The BBC’s The Great British Sewing Bee. We’ll be talking about inclusivity, life behind the scenes of the show, and why she is encouraging more diverse casting.

    The Great British Sewing Bee is currently looking for the UK’s best amateur sewers for Series 13 - and they are especially encouraging applications from disabled people and those with long-term health conditions who have a passion for sewing and creating their own clothes. The aim is to make the process as inclusive and accessible as possible, so a wide range of voices and experiences are represented in the sewing room.

    If you, or someone you know, would like to apply, you can do so at www.applyforsewingbee.co.uk, email , or call 0117 450 8530 to request an application form.

    The deadline for applications is Wednesday 13th May 2026 at 8pm.

  • Ep 61: Confidence, Self-image & Looking Good
    May 5 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today we’re talking about confidence, self-image, and the idea of “looking good.”

    Does looking good make us feel good?

    We’ll look at how appearance affects confidence, from bad hair days to clothes, weight, and all the messages we pick up from social media, TV, school, and the people around us.

    We’ll also talk about why accepting ourselves can be so hard, and what confidence really means - on our own terms!
