Watched this with DD aged 10 and we loved it. I'm a knitter not a stitcher at all, but DD has her own sewing machine and is really keen.

I like Claudia in this, and the male judge, but the woman judge I found a bit dull, it's missing the Mary Berry factor I think.

Having the time limit is too limiting Grin - maybe they should do it over a few days.

Hope the make it yourself segment improves - laundry bag - wtf??

No idea what the "make your own" pattern is tonight. Looked through my mum's copy of the Radio Times yesterday and there's no pattern in this week's edition.

Apparently when DH collected the DC after school, DS1 told him he was quite excited about tonight's telly as Sewing Bee is on! Grin

Flubba - it's Simplicity Lisette 2246 - the traveller dress.

Pinterest link here

Will take a photo of mine and post it up

I think the Lisette patterns are really good btw - easy to follow and good designs.

Acan't wait for tonights ep - but will be watching later as need to exercise

Hello all!

RhinestoneCowgirl · 09/04/2013 20:05

Settling down to watch.

Trousers! Hardcore...

blueraincoat · 09/04/2013 20:05

I wouldn't even know where to start!

TunipTheVegedude · 09/04/2013 20:07

Did you hear Saville Row guy saying you would expect to unpick and redo a bit several times?

I like the idea of choosing a heavy fabric precisely so you can do that.

blueraincoat · 09/04/2013 20:08

I wonder what they will do next week if this week is blouses and trousers, seem to have got very difficult very quickly.

nipersvest · 09/04/2013 20:16

ok, sewers who sew clothes, i have a question, claudia's voice over explanation of men's zip flies did not make any sense to me, did anyone else understand? it just seems a shame they have to skim over these bits of the programme so rushed.

LetUsPrey · 09/04/2013 20:18

I'll be watching a bit later as DS2 is still up.

coffeeinbed · 09/04/2013 20:21

that's not too promising.

TunipTheVegedude · 09/04/2013 20:25

Ooh, white-haired old lady did the best trousers! Yay!

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:29

Bollocks! Why do people always ring when you have something else you need want to do?? Grrrrr. Watching it now, but half hour behind you all :(

Actually - just had a better idea... FF and watch this bit with you, watch the start later :)

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:31

Can anyone tell me what their brief is for this task :) Please.

TheOneWithTheHair · 09/04/2013 20:33

I'm going to have to iplayer it later but I'll be back. No doubt with a million questions.

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:33

It's chaos, whatever they're all doing Grin

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:35

Don't like Tilly's

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:36

Stuart's is cool :) I'd wear that if I wasn't too fat for it!!

UniqueAndAmazing · 09/04/2013 20:37

I love the flowers pockets.

but wtf was that vlue spotty pocket thing? it was dreadful!
a five year old could have been neater

UniqueAndAmazing · 09/04/2013 20:38

I'm so going to copy those flowrrs pockets.
it just made the others look like patches.

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:38

Nightmare! Silk under pressure... gahhh

TunipTheVegedude · 09/04/2013 20:39

I'm so glad they have a historical sewer on there. Look at how the 18th c shirt is all rectangles!

ChippingInIsEggceptional · 09/04/2013 20:42

Some of them are being very adventurous... Stuart, I'm looking at you!

blueraincoat · 09/04/2013 20:43

Was Patrick this attractive last week? I appear to have not noticed before.

coffeeinbed · 09/04/2013 20:43

Tilly's won't have time to finish.
