Summary: This week's guests are Fiona Parker (Diary Of A Chainstitcher) And Alex Bruce (Sew Happy) !<br> <br> When we started building a wish list of guests we wanted on the show we both squealed at the thought of Fiona and Alex joining us together to talk about the wonderful world of costume design! <br> <br> Both of them are well known in the sewing community as long standing brilliant sewing blogger Fiona, Diary Of A Chainstitcher and dressmaking vlogger and face of Tilly and the Buttons new book 'Stretch' Alex from Sew Happy and we hear all about that but mostly we want to hear about their day jobs - as they both work in costume - and have so much knowledge to pass on.<br> <br> We hear all about how they both started sewing, got into the wonderful world of costume design and an amazing thing called the costume bible!<br> <br> From The Lion King to fabric sourcing for the Great British Sewing Bee - we had a wonderful chat over tea and leftover birthday cake with these lovely ladies and learnt so much!<br> <br> So grab a brew, get comfy and join us while we gasp and giggle over unpicking the costume business!<br> <br> ********<br> This episode was bought to you by Sew Me Sunshine who sell amazing fabrics, haberdashery items and indie patterns.
