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?

Is it me? I find some of the choices of material dire on this sleeve challenge

Chinelo doesn't seem to take criticism or observations very well at all, she always does silly little face pulls

Lynda looks knackered

Lynda's is truly awful fabric, I'm sorry. And I want her to do well!

Or Chinelo has a habit of pulling faces at idle moments and they edit them into the programme when the judges are giving her criticism...

I think it's hard to come up with a good fabric for the sleeves, TBH. And with limited time for the actual sewing they really needed to just crack on with it.

So who do we think is going through? My money os on tamara. I like her wacky style she just struggles with the finishing touches.

Oops I mean Tamara is going out

I really don't know any more. My money would have been on Heather to go out this week, but she's actually done OK. This looks a bit simple, though. She's going to have to do it exceptionally well.

Tamaras been wearing that odd sleeved thing for 2 days now, she obviously isn't working up a sewing sweat.. or maybe the drapery is predominantly to aid ventilation!

Did Claudia say 'gradiate'? What's that when it's at home?

ooh and dog pincushion fans there were some dog doorstops in Tesco last week for mothers day that would do the job.

Oh no, poor Lynda

Oh, poor Lynda!

I think this lot are better technically than last year's.

Lynda could be going home if she doesn't get this right... conversely, she could wind up winning the whole season if she does. It's much more closely matched than last year.

Chinelo will be going through. I wouldn't like to say out of the other three.

Gosh what a figure Heather has

If Heather is a Mumsnetter (and if she isn't she ought to be) I would like to take this opportunity to say what a lovely figure she has [would like to look that good in a dress like that emoticon].

Ha! Cross-posted with SunnyL...

OK, so Tamara and Chinelo through. Which of Lynda and Heather is going home?

Damn I honestly do not know who is going home.

Awww...

Gosh... Lynda leaving, how sad... I am very emotional today about something else and I could cry for her...

:(

Aw, lovely Lynda
