GREAT British Sewing Bee finalist Tamara Melvin visited Franklins sewing shop, Fisherton Street on Saturday to host a special workshop.
The celebrity showed advanced sewers how to create a sunglasses case whilst children were able to design t-shirts for their teddy bears.
She gave out tips on needlework whilst also signing copies of the new Great British Sewing Bee book.
Alison Gradwell from Franklins said: "It has been an absolutely brilliant day and I think all of the sewers have enjoyed it."
The shop has a dedicated workshop and offers courses for people of all abilities. For more information call 01722 554466.
