Asmaa's final dress was fabulous so I'm not at all surprised that she won. I think Mia just needed a bit more time to finish but she has such a talent and has made some fantastic garments. Also Tony did really well.
Overall I think it's been one of the best of the Sewing Bees.
Part of me agrees with your best Sewing Bee comment Millie22 -
lovely to see a man in the final
some amazing creativity
a lovely group of people who supported each other from Ep 1 to final
But
I think we all knew Asmaa would win from very early on.
Personally, I was slightly irritated by Asmaa's dress with 'lingerie' bodice, as we were told this was her speciality. Then this week when we found out her 'lingerie' was making unique bras for her mastectomy patients, I had tears in my eyes. (And I felt bad about my irritation with the lingerie dress!!)
Yes, the final's made-to-measure 3 dresses were great. Yes, the Victorian pattern challenge was ghastly.
