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?

oh - it's not actually dungarees - just some straps on a skirt… bit disappointing

Oh dear Cliff... again!

ooh good challenge. would quite like to make myself a silk nightgown.

Julie is the Waistcoat I meant.

I want that dog pin cushion thing!!

oh... some of these are going to be beautiful....

the dog pin cushion is awesome - but I think I would feel mean sticking pins in it

Its a much smarter room this year

My pincushion is a felt hedgehog I made in the last year of junior school :)

I've got a Cath Kidston armchair pin cushion

Poor Cliff :(

yes, I really wanted him to make an amazing nightgown and finish the weekend well...

ANOTHER phone call grrrr... did I see Cliff has left? Oh dear... was he out of his depth?

that dark one is stunning!

Don't get diamante in M&S?

She's clearly never seen Par Una!

Must say I'm not rooting for diamante/waistcoat at the moment.

To be fair, in five hours I would have managed wrapping them in a length of silk, tying it up with lace and calling it a toga-style nightdress.

Love this purple one

That one is stunning - the laced one.

David's is lovely.

Debbie haha... I would have laid a huge piece of silk on the floor and cut a hole in the middle for a head!

oh what a shame, looks like Simon will be going home

ah ha!

Given one went home Ill, I assumed no one would be sent home.

Didn't that happen in the first week last season as well?

yep makes sense. I fell for their dramatic tension set-up though

brilliant. love having something to look forward to on telly again.
