Great British Sewing Bee #2

[emmer_moans]

I know fashion is personal style but Suzy's pink dress with black drawstring tie that she is wearing....um.. it looks so silly!

I think unless one of the others messes up it will be Suzy's turn to go. 15 mins to go...

 

[JCMSadie]

Rooting for Ailsa - I'll be devastated if Suzie sends another of my faves home.

 

[emmer_moans]

Is Luke seriously trying to sew on a metal chain onto the fabric?! ahaha

 

[azzarzar7]

Oh, and now the nazi sympathiser. So glad they've chosen to showcase these little-known squeaky clean brands...

can’t lie, I’m gutted not one of them has based their made to measure on the pink Jackie Kennedy suit that Marge keeps reworking in The Simpsons because that would be my immediate choice

 

[Restless Native]

Ailsa might go

 

[emmer_moans]

I like Pascha's dress!

 

[JCMSadie]

Yay! So excited for the finals!

Nothing against Suzie. Her style isn't for me, and I do think they made the wrong choice last week, but she has a look she clearly loves and seems nice. But it was her time to go.

Bubbles outfit looked like a pink bin bag with a black drawstring. I just don't get her style at all and her sewing today showed she needs more skills and time management. Personality-wise she's great on TV. I bet the producers wished she was a better sewer. Never sewed on a hook and eye? Should've gone first episode for that admission.

Luke was so close to a great final outfit! He had the vision but that precise collar HAD to be perfect. He really seemed to enjoy the sewing today which was nice to see. He's really gained confidence. Pasha's dress was lovely but seemed a safe choice. However, that girl can sew. I think she will win unless Luke can get all his ducks in a row.

Ailsa - loved her tie waistcoat. Her final outfit was ok but a safety pinned fairly simple skirt style would never cut it. I can make that style skirt in my sleep.

Yeah I did think with Ailsa's skirt that should have been easy to get right in terms of 'made to measure' especially as she was mentioning elastic, perhaps the waistcoat occupied her time.

Luke actually did very well, his tie dress was inspired. This was a much better episode. I am looking forward to the final.

Apart from Pascha's dress I thought the final challenge was dire. I loved the black tie dress.

Tonight the bubble was burst. I like her thinking outside the box but the execution let her down.

It was only a Chanel pattern. Jackie's US dressmaker Chez Ninon put it together. Would have liked to see someone try it though.

 

[JCMSadie]

I'm 10mins behind, but I'm just watching for joy because I don't mind who wins. Think it will be Pasha, but I think Ailsa is my fave.

 

[Jusa]

I really don't want Luke to win

 

[JCMSadie]

That was a nasty, nasty pattern challenge.

 

[Baby Giraffe]

I really don't want Luke to win

He’s grown on me the past couple of weeks, have really liked some of his recent things. Irrationally find Pasha quite annoying but not sure why

 

[Restless Native]

Posha might have fucked it

 

[IQueenie]

I think Luke has it, despite the unfinished skirt.

 

[emmer_moans]

That was a nasty, nasty pattern challenge.

yeah if I ever need opera gloves I'll just buy them ahaha

I think he will win based on tonight

 

[Remotecontrol]

I wanted Pasha to win as she’s been the most consistent but she went slightly off the boil at the wrong time

Oh Pooh
