The Great British Sewing Bee

I believe because it’s a BBC show there’s a learning remit that has to be met. Or something.

I don’t think these sewers are as strong as other series. Love Joe though. Patrick and Esme are obviously set up as good cop bad cop which is old and unnecessary.

Theres loads of gay women who look like Liz. I had to look again when I first saw this because I thought she was someone I used to know.

I didn't agree with who went last night either.

Same, I was shocked. The one who left definitely has more potential and has made some stunning garments (I think the one it should have been has made some really messy sewing misakes in the past?) Nothing against them they've made some amazing stuff but not everything needs o rings. I would definitely actually wear the clothes the one who went made 😊

I would like Nicole to win - I find Clare humourless and very cold. She also never says "thank you" when someone says well done or when she gets top spot. That said, I think she's the best sewer technically although I'm not a fan of her designs. I thought Nicole's made to measure dress this week was gorgeous.
 
The design was lush but she fucked it which why I was a bit baffled by the evictee. Patrick and Esmee actively stopped her making an error in the Marilyn challenge - she has been ushered to the final I reckon.

I think Claire is edited to appear sharp and school marm-ish. You can’t possibly go for for that level of retro emersion and not have the requisite British manners that go with it all.

I agree with both points. Clare herself said her style is 'Young Miss Marple', they've made it so.

To those of you that sew, do you think some of the time frames are unfair? On Sewing Bee and Bake Off etc when they criticise them because things aren't perfect I think "That's because you rushed them!" I'm sure none of them sit down to sew a blouse and think "Right I'm going to do this in 90 minutes!"

Yes! Also they don't cut their fabric out with the care because there is no time to fiddle around placing pattern pieces (and they can use as much as they want) so there is a lot of waste.

Anyone watching?
Quick question: why has Patrick got stubble AND a moustache? Why not either stubble or the ‘tache? It really bugs me!

😂 so true. He’s a mess! I posted in this thread the other week how he irritates me but I seemed to be in the minority haha
