The Great British Sewing Bee

Tennis (Andy Murray) is ongoing on BBC 1.

It’s being shown on BBC 2 everyone.

✂️ The final ✂️

I'm hoping they all do well but I would really love Annie to win.

It’s good all 4 are in the final. I don’t mind Esme, she knows what she’s talking about , she isnt there to entertain, I suppose that’s why they have a presenter , not just to say the time lol. May Martin wasn’t much different, both excellent in their field.

Annie to win !!!!

According to her book she has always been a smoker (and also quite a heavy drinker). I wonder if she has a lung condition? She seems quite breathless.

I am another who doesn’t think Esme has seemed 100% this series. A bit frail, and her voice quite quavery.

Perhaps she had Covid?

Gingster Esme doesn't seem quite well this series. Her voice was very firm in previous years. She's a very interesting character.

I said that to a friend. Esme's voice is frail and wavering and she speaks in gasps. Hope she's ok.

I have asked for Esme's book for my birthday - not long to wait for it - and I am looking forward to reading it

I've just finished reading Esme's book. She was ... and still is ... a great one for partying!

I like Esme. I think her dress style is great. She looks individual and stylish. Wonder if she has a dressmaker or does it herself? I wish Brogan had gone I find her voice so irritating.

Esme is anything but bland.

Esme, bland?

and isn't it rather offensive to describe her as an interesting little woman. What has her height got to do with it?

Here's "interesting little woman" Esme!

She partied with Bowie and the Sex Pistols and had her own fashion label. Respect, Esme!

I m with you Ginster I can’t feel anything for esme I m unsure what others see that’s so wonderful about her She is probably an interesting little woman if you ve read up about her, but as she comes across in this programme I find her bland

Brogan should have gone I think that was a bit of a fix

I do enjoy the Sewing Bee, and wish it lasted for longer, or they had it on more than once a year.
I do wonder what next week's challenge will be, because that will "dictate" who wins. Should we all have a go at guessing?

I think Brogan should have been sent home, Cristian used the wrong fabric and was elimated so why not Brogan? Having said that, of the four dresses, I actually liked Brogans the best although it did not fit the brief. I’m hoping Debra wins it next week, I love her choice of fabrics and her wee innovative touches. I follow a few of them on Instagram, Gill and Debra especially make fabulous outfits.

I can't believe that I shed a tear when all 4 got through to the final! But I was so pleased for all of them . Can't wait for next week!!

Please all 4 for the final they are all really good.
Think Annie will get it.. But it's very close.
Such a lovely program.

That's nice to hear ,*Tillytrotter*. I like her and whoever wins, I wish her and the others well. It's such a heartwarming programme,like the pottery one.

I’ve just read on Derbyshire Live Brogan has announced she is expecting her first baby. Congrats to her and boyfriend.

I was surprised that Brogan wasn’t eliminated. Her dress did not fit the brief. It wasn’t origami. Her transformation wasn’t Sashiko embroidery. It was appliqué. The lining of her kimono was too short and pulled. I suspect that bit earlier in the programme where Esme and Patrick said she was the most accurate (or consistent) sewer - can’t remember which - was a warning of the final result.

Such an up and down competition. Annie’s was by far and away the best kimono. Man Yee was the only one whose transformation included a substantial amount of Sashiko embroidery in the time available and it was a well thought-out design. I was expecting two garments of the week - Annie’s and Debra’s.

Annie seems calmer than the others, working quietly without all the drama. I’d like to see her win.

As they are all so skilled I wonder if the team behind the prog are scratching their heads wondering what challenges to set these 4 in the Final.
The kimono’s were a bit like doing a Rubic cube - a real puzzle.
So much fabric!

Astonishing to see all four of them reach the final - whoever wins is really going to have to pull it out of the hat, aren't they?
