🪡 Sewing Bee 🪡

I had thought Novello was on a shoogly peg last week and wasn't surprised to see her go. I really like Dan but his quilted monstrosity just didn't work. I think they are a very talented, lovely bunch this year and I'm enjoying seeing what they all produce. Kit and Caz are front runners in my opinion closely followed by Orla.

Caught up with Bee yesterday. I think Kit is the one to watch, and I preferred his made-to-measure Korean garment which made me think "Korean" as soon as I saw it, compared to Caz's "busy" yellow outfit which had too much going on, and just looked like a dress to wear to a disco.

I know Kit's outfit wasn't sewn quite as well as Caz's but in my view he followed the brief.

The right person left.

Saw the new episode and l am also glad it is back. One the best progs on rhe BBC.

Agree that Sarah wonen is not the best prsenter. She seems very gauche and nerdy .
And the male comedian bloke Kiell whatever his name is wasn't very good either

Never a fan of Claidia Winkelman.

Bring back Joe Lycett?!!

Esme is stills soldiering on in her usual trooper style and Patrcick is astute as ever. Bit worried about him Looks tired, drawn and run down

I think there are some really talented sewers and designers on thus show who never cease to amaze me with their creativity, skill and great creations. Wondeful!!!

Also have to mention that Novello women who really wanted to be noticed and steal the show.

Obviously last chance at fame.. Like Get me, l'm so wonderful and orginal. Totally in love with herself.

Terrible hat, clothes sense and make up. She in nearly 68 and is quitewell off.

Bit of a vanity project for her. She probably knows someone at the BBC or who works for the Production Company

Anyway got to go .

Can't wait for the next episode.

I thought that the addition of the Korean designer gave the show a new dimension tonight. It made Patrick seem a bit boring, and dare I say scruffy - not his usual self somehow.

Nooooo 😱 not the sewing woman’s crush 🥰

Kit did so well last night; I enjoyed the South Korean theme. Gaynor’s show stopper dress was beautiful, wish it was available to buy.

Just watched this episode and really enjoyed the guest judge being included. I've had lots of inspiration for adding pleats to basic dresses. I thought the final decisions about GOTW and who went home were the right ones.

I love this programme. I'm a useless sewer and am amazed how they can make something [even weird things!!!] in such a short space of time. It took me over a school year to make an apron!!!

I was disappointed with garment of the week. Caz, please stop scratching your head, went off on a tangent again and added awful neon lace to her design. I thought it looked dreadful.
I would have liked Imogen to win. Her cheollik (had to look it up ) was very well sewn and she was delighted to have finished it in the time.
Kit is very talented and is appearing as the front runner at the moment.
Novello deserved to go.

I just love the sewing bee, especially the models young and not so young walking up the catwalk displaying all sorts of brilliant garments it reminds me of my sewing days so long ago pre stroke
when I was training to be a nursery nurse we had to make a young girls dress -I so enjoyed those days

Wht indeed do they do all this silly stuff? Not needed.
I thought elf man should have gone home.

Why do Patrick and Esme ‘try’ to be funny it’s really cringy the pretend gangman style dance at the beginning was awful

I definitely think the right person went home neither the lady or her work appealed to me
I thought the guy with the awful Christmas type elf suit was pretty awful too

I think they should have more guest judges.

Yes, and what was it with that hat? 🤔

I found her a tad annoying so I’m glad she’s gone. She never finished anything. The other person finished, although his garment would have looked good as part of Santa’s Grotto.

Well, I'm not sure the right person went home this week. This person was in the bottom two imo, but thought they redeemed themselves somewhat in the made-to-measure, whereas the other one was a disaster.

Wrap dresses - that was it. Let's hope next week's episode is more inspiring.

It wasn't really my sort of sewing tbh so I lost a bit of interest after the wrap dresses.

Is everyone so disillusioned with GBSB that we can't be bothered to chat about last Tuesday's episode?
I recorded it and had it on in the background on Wednesday morning in my sewing room. But, for the life of me, I can't remember any of it. Must be my age!
I remember thinking that the sewers are starting to show their skills, and the less able are being weeded out.

Good idea.

I always record it Parsley and fast forward those bits!

Peter did say, more than once, that he hadn't practised the outfit and was making it up as he went along. Unfortunately, he wasn't a good enough sewer to get away with that. I am looking forward to next week's show but I wish there were not so many "previews" of the finished garments. I want to be surprised.
