The Great British Sewing Bee

Jeanne played an integral role in the design of the furnishing projects which make up

half of the projects in this informative book. She designed, made the soft furnishings

and wrote the ‘how to’ sections for this book that accompanied the BBC programme

of the same name. Three of the projects were included in the TV programme with

Jeanne’s hands showing how to make them.

Sheer Style

Jeanne’s first foray into contributing to a book in the form of making all the projects,

assisting on the photo shoots and even modelling in some of the photos. The book

showcases fabrics and ideas that let light into a room rather than blocking it out.
