Yay! Sewing Bee is back!

[Roussette]

Does anyone else watch it? Or is it just me...

I love it because it reminds me of another life when I used to sew (before the DC's came along and before I lost the footpedal to my sewing machine in a house move).

The contestants are just so talented and I like the beardy man judge too. Anyone else?

[Ellisisland]

Oh yay when does it start? I hope they do more episodes this time. Last series was way too short

[Roussette]

It's tomorrow (tue) 8pm BBC2 I think. It's just such a gentle series isn't it

[JonSnowKnowsNothing]

I like too! Patrick whatshisname is absolutely beautiful!

[nipersvest]

looking forward to tuesday. i got to interview stuart hillard a few months ago, here

[craftynclothy]

Yes, I love it too. It must be so hard to make stuff in the time limits.

I told dh that Patrick is totally my type - hot and lives fabric

[craftynclothy]

loves

[Roussette]

a list of the contestants!

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

Can't wait! Sewing machine on standay - I'm bound to get all inspired.

[Roussette]

I am looking forward to Jenni who loves making 'crazy' shirts for her husband and Tamara who is Vivienne Westwood meets Helena Bonham Carter !

[chickydoo]

My friend is a contestant. Will be crossing everything for her!

[Roussette]

Oh wow Chicky... I have a friend who I have urged to apply to go on the programme, she is just so talented. I was out with her at the weekend and she was wearing a huge statement necklace made out of different leather flowers and beads that she made - yet she thinks is isn't talented. Hope your friend does well.

[BobaFetaCheese]

Cheers OP! Look forward to it. Just wish they had a better presenter (not a fan of Claudia Winkleman).

[Roussette]

No nor me... she reminds me of Kevin of kevin and perry fame... hair in her face and too long sleeves.

[Davros]

Love this programme, looking forward to it. I've been going to sewing lessons once a week since January, partly influenced by GBSB (and thinking I can save money with easy repairs). I also do not like Claudia Winkleman, I don't understand how she's got to where she is with her repetitive face licking and "look at your little face", ugh! I had to stop watching Film 2014 etc which I used to love

[LetThereBeCupcakes]

Perhaps chicky could ask her friend to just trim Claudia's fringe. That would be an improvement.

[HectorVector]

Marking my place because I've been looking forward to this for months!

[5Foot5]

Brilliant! I hope the contestants this year are as much fun as last year.

[Forago]

oooo my 9y old ds will be please - he loved watching this last time (random)

[Roussette]

Can't wait... half an hour to go!

At one point, I used to make loads of clothes and pretty crap they were too but the idea was there!

[Tabby1963]

All primed and ready for it to start with large cuppa, cat and laptop.

[Roussette]

Am looking forward to the creativity of the contestants... wonderful and dapper beardy man oops!

[frenchfancy]

I'm sitting on the sofa next to DD1 while she counts down the minutes.

[kelhen]

Wow Claudia Winkleman actually has eyes!

[Roussette]

and a big fringe!

I wonder who will go off course with this challenge... someone always does!

[DebbieOfMaddox]

I want some of that fabric. I wonder what security is like on that sewing room?
