Serena Baker was the show's first Scottish and youngest ever winner.
“It’s been a mad and busy couple of years, but in a good way,” smiles Serena, who was The Great British Sewing Bee’s first Scottish, and youngest ever, winner when she was crowned champion in 2021. “It’s two years since we filmed the show, one and a half years since I ‘officially’ won – so life is slowly returning to normal.She adds: “To have been able to write my own book, though, is an amazing thing.
“In the first lockdown, I started re-fashioning – I may just have made up that word – which for me meant looking at my wardrobe and using what I had to create new things to wear. She adds, thoughtfully: “I actually learned a lot during that time. It’s a very different way of sewing and it taught me things I didn’t know about patterns and design. In a cost of living crisis, too, it’s a useful skill to have.Sewing has been part of Serena’s life since she was a teenager.
