The new series starts on Tuesday 21st May at 9 pm so I'm looking forward to some wonderful sewing again.

The new presenter Kiell is also back to replace Sara Pascoe.

Her bustier dress reminded me of Rhubarb and Custard sweets, and I cannot get that out of my head!

Only caught up with last week's programme last night but yes! 😁

The dress she was wearing herself looked as if it belonged to a fairy from a pantomime or the kind of party frock a four year old would love. Her fashion ideas are somewhat unusual.

It’s so they’ve more time to make the garment M0nica 🤣

M0nica Tue 09-Jul-24 16:29:45

Once again tonight's episode is tomorrow, if you see what I mean!

I do not have a problem with Suzy's sleeve, and I quite like it. I'm sure Suzy does not give a fig what her arm will look like when she is older, she just enjoys how it looks now.
She is very lucky not to have gone home yet. Her bustier dress reminded me of Rhubarb and Custard sweets, and I cannot get that out of my head!
I wish she had chosen a different colour combo, and left the frill off. I think gold and black would look very good on a bustier dress.

I thought it was rather better this week. The tasks didn't seem as impossible to complete.

She may not have extensive wrinkles and bingo wings when she is old. I don't, a lot of women do not, even in extreme age. In my case it is genetic, my (many) female counsins are much the same. When my father was admitted to hospital at 92, two doctors commented on how smooth his skin was.

. I wonder what the artwork will look like when she gets old and has extensive wrinkles and bingo wings

Old arms look awful anyway, tattoos will not make them any worse.

Surely Suzy has to go next week. She is miles behind Pascha, Ailsa and Alex in sewing ability. I was not too keen on her dress or her sleeve of tattoos. Only sailors had them when I was small but to each their own. I wonder what the artwork will look like when she gets old and has extensive wrinkles and bingo wings.

Great programme. I thought Pascha would win from the beginning and I hope I’m right. The right one was sent home this week.

Ladyleftfieldlover Thu 04-Jul-24 16:39:14

I don’t mind tattoos at all! My elder son has a couple of amazing ones. Suzy’s are cheap looking and awful.

I’m afraid that whatever Suzy wears is spoiled by the quite awful tattoos on her arms.

Suzys tattoos are her own business, my daughter has tattoos, and I would dislike very much that judgemental attitude from someone towards her.
They do no one any harm, do they ?

Thank you Grandmabatty as I haven't seen this week's programme yet.

Can't wait to see what Suzy was wearing 😂

M0nica Thu 04-Jul-24 08:03:44

Unless she is unlucky Pasha is going to win, but she is the best of a bad bunch.

More garments finished last night but the inabilityof most of the last 6 contestants left to make a properly fitting bra cup, really did indicate just what inadequate sewers most of them are compare with thos ein other series.

However last nights dress of the week was well compatable with previous years.

Parsley3 Wed 03-Jul-24 23:00:08

Well, at least there was one decent made to measure.

Grandmabatty Wed 03-Jul-24 22:39:38

The right person went home, although it was a close call with a couple of others. I'm being careful in case some haven't watched it yet

I looked at those buttonholes, shouted at the TV 'Give those buttonholes enough time'!!!!

Thanks M0nica

M0nica Tue 02-Jul-24 17:55:50

this week's episode will now air tomorrow (Wednesday, 3rd July) at 9.00pm instead, taking The Repair Shop's original slot

Quote from the Radio Times. It will be on BBC1.

BlueBelle Tue 02-Jul-24 17:33:07

The dress is completely gorgeous but the waist looks ridiculous she’s all pushed up not good for her body

Auntieflo Tue 02-Jul-24 17:26:09

Just been looking for Sewing Bee tonight. 🤔
As there may be football tonight, where can we find it tomorrow M0nica?
Couldn't find it listed in The Radio Times.

Thank you Monica
