Loved this episode. The mabel dress and hat is a joy to make. There is a sew-a-long if anybody wants to check it out. I loved trousers as a farm girl so my mum made me, coord sets of trousers and vest tops in floral fabrics for parties. 😊

Great job. If you Google dinosaur dressing gown, GBSB have released the pattern free. Have tried to give link but RUclips keeps deleting.

Is the GBSB available to view anywhere in the U.S.? Streaming channels? Online?

Sorry not that we know of, it's such a shame. If we ever hear of a way, we'll spread the word!
