TV Channel Searches For A Presenter
Back in August I saw an ad on Facebook for TV Channel “Sewing Street” and its ‘Search For A Star’ competition. They were looking for a designer/teacher to be their next guest presenter.
Spurred on by husband and two closest friends, I sent in a video. It had to be three minutes long to introduce myself and demonstrate something in sewing. It turns out that was quite a tall order, but I came in at 2 minutes 59 second and a few milliseconds 😂
A few weeks went past and I heard nothing.
Then an email appeared to say that they loved my entry and I had made it through to the second round!
The Screen Test
That was a screen test in which I had to prepare and demo a project in 20 minutes. That was last Wednesday, and I designed and demoed a foundation pieced coaster on camera, with one of the regular presenters. There was also an interview which I wasn’t expecting, so could only speak from the heart at.
The camera was HUGE by the way, which was a bit disconcerting given I only look down a tiny lens for my YouTube videos 😄.
The screen tests were held over three days, and on my day there were two other ladies, so I assume there were about 10 – 12 on that second round.
From the screen tests, they were to choose a final 5 for an hour’s demo on live TV; no designing for this one as they send the project out.
Anyhooooo….I got an email yesterday to say that I had got through as one of the finalists!!! I am completely delighted, very thrilled and a bit shell shocked all in one go 😵
FINALIST!
The live TV shows will be w/c 18th November. I haven’t got my date yet, but I will let you know when it is, and where you can find it to watch. Incidentally, my birthday is also that week!
The winner is chosen by public votes the week after, so I shall definitely be asking everyone I know (which may include you) for a vote or three 😊
So, as my wonderful Patchwork Shop tribe, I do hope you’ll send me lots of love and support and some votes when the time comes 🙏
I’ll keep you posted with what project it is too.
Exciting, eh? 😍
