Great British Sewing Bee

I would wear some of the sports jackets. I am not at all sporty!

I liked most of the jackets.
I don't like the transformation challenge because the outfits are rarely wearable and often look like a dog's breakfast. However, from yesterday's I appreciated the interesting technique the lady did with the blue skirt where she made a pattern out of the pleating. That looked really pretty and I could imagine that effect on a pleated top or at the hem of a pleated skirt.

I think Man Yee, Brogan, Marni will be the ones to start racing ahead, but it still could be too early to tell. I binged watched all the old series on iplayer last year and I remember one year it was won by someone who made a few faux pas in the beginning.

I think this set of sewers is far better than previous years. Usually there are one or two standouts, this time there are quite a few. That lady who did the sewing of the pleats in a pattern has some interesting ideas. Marin is the best for me at the moment. She has an eye for style.

Really enjoyed last nights and thought the sports jackets were great. The green and pink one was fab. Marni is the favourite for me so far, she clearly has a lot of talent. I liked her transformation top - thought it was quite chic for something made from a netball skirt! Brogan's transformation was also really good but that voice

Good standard this year

I thought quite a few of those jackets were exceptional but what on earth was that exclusive Miss Havisham x polyester mash-up? It looked half finished and the half that was finished was shocking.

It was very enjoyable and like others I didn't expect to enjoy sports jackets at all but they were brilliant! Shoe sewing was a surprise as well, they did do well with that (except 1). Lovely show.

There are some marvellous sewers this series. They have stepped it up a gear. Right person went today.

 

[emmer_moans]

The right person went. I don't quite know why the garment of the week was garment of the week. I think it should have been Brogan's green two piece

It is such a minor quibble and entirely my own problem - but the way Esme says Fabric makes me feel a bit ill It is all sort of phlegmy in her throat.

And words like cotton. It sounds like she talks with tension in her jaw/throat.

I loved when Esme got all excited over the Leo-esque shirts

 

[fudgebox]

I really liked brogans transformation challenge I think it was much better then Angela’s

 

[House of Tea]

Brogan is the one whose designs I like the most. I think Marni thought she would be top dog, in a nice way, but Brogan is killing it. The guys are not great this year.

I quite liked the two blokes' two-pieces, especially the toucan button eyes. Wtf was Esme's necklace tho? Looked like she got stuck Kool Aid manning through a piece of rattan garden furniture and the fire service couldn't cut her all the way out of it in time for filming.
