Kirstie's Handmade Britain

Women's Institute (1x5)

Uitzenddatum: Nov 16, 2011

Kirstie enters the notoriously competitive world of the Women's Institute as she prepares to enter the New Forest and Hampshire County Show in group crafts. Kirstie joins one of Hampshire's newest WI groups, the Disparate Housewives, one of 26 WI battalions competing to win the coveted rosettes. She invites Jo, Beverly, Julie, Katie and the group's founder Louise for a classic WI tea and cake afternoon to decide what to make. For their `craft cooperative class' entry they must create an exhibit using three different crafts that tells the story of a famous book. Kirstie is keen to use one of her favourites, The Secret Garden, and is first to turn her hand to producing a needle felt robin with the help of expert craftswoman Jayne Emerson. But will Kirstie's robin be good enough to impress the WI judges? And how will she fare as part of a team when so far she's flown solo?
