The Great British Sewing Bee

I'm glad Annie won. I thought Man Yee might swing it but Annie's jump suit was very dramatic. Brogan seemed to lose interest somehow.

I liked all four finalists and admire their creativity, however I was rooting for Annie and Man Yee and was unsurprised that Annie won - though there was nothing to choose between the two of them.

It was the bow that won it of course!

And two babies!

My recording cut off just before the made to measure challenge.....thank you Wimbledon...... but I managed to find it on iPlayer. Annie’s big bow was a show stopper. I wished that Man Yee had not chosen that colour as her jumpsuit would have looked stunning in, say, black.

I am so glad Annie won. The Bowie jacket, the crossover evening gown, the origami dress and now the fab jump suit. It looked fantastic on her model. She was the most consistent in the final challenges and always met the brief.

Debra and Man Yee's amorphous dresses were so good too.

It's been an excellent series and I shall miss it.

Although I would have loved Debra to win, I think Annie definitely deserved first place. That bow was amazing. Debra’s jumpsuit wasn’t really catwalk worthy, although it was the most wearable of the four. I don’t think Brogan deserved to be in the final, her style/taste never really developed throughout the series.

Brogan seemed to lose interest somehow

I think it was because she knew she shouldn’t really have got into the final. The judges ought to have eliminated her last week.

I think Annie made the most progress throughout the programmes, and coupled with her sense of style, was destined to win.
I'd like to have been in that close knit band of four friends at the end. Such nice people and very supportive families too.
Esme is an interesting person with her stories from the past.

I thought Annie's jumpsuit definitely fitted the "red carpet" brief whereas Debra's didn't. As Debra said herself, she was making it for her model to wear on her hen night in Blackpool. I wanted Annie to win as I said upthread. She produced some wonderful pieces.

Perhaps Brogan wasn't feeling too well ... she recently announced her pregnancy.

It's been a brilliant series. According to Esme's book she is still partying with Joe.

Not long now till I get Esme's book for my birthday (tomorrow!) and I can't wait to read it! My daughter is going to read it after me.
Really loved the final - watched it this morning as Mr R didn't want to watch it with me. (He's a strange one and has no interest in sewing ) I didn't mind who won - except Brogan (sorry Brogan) - and was delighted for Annie!

Lovely, program, agree Annie correct choice last night but the others did fantasticly well.
Yep Brogan went off the boil, technically good but no variation

The Bow on Annie's Jumpsuit, definitely a winner for Esme, I knew she was a Legend but I don't know much about her.
Think I might get her book as well.

Looking forward to next year's series.

Annie was the deserving winner and all 4 were worthy finalists.
The outfit with the feature bow at the back - wow!
I too thought Brogan lost a bit of her enthusiasm but now, knowing she is pregnant, it’s not so surprising.
Maybe she didn’t want to win.
The made to measures are always the most exciting pieces, I hope next year they stop the middle challenge of making something from nothing. (A hammock was one of them during this series ?)

What a good final that was. They are all brilliant. I was surprised that Brogan didn't quite reach her former standard, but understand now I know she is pregnant.
I do hope there is another series soon.
