Sewing Bee! Mannequins at the ready!

[Roussette]

It's back on Thursday! here. No details of contestants yet. How many men this time? Any?

Ten sewers, six weeks, can't wait!

(Can't think of another word for sewers at the moment, wish I could!)

yes it is nearly over.

Tonight is lace and satin and the final challenge is a leather jacket . I remember once making a fringed suede handbag. OMG you'e never seen such a monstrosity!

And two are going tonight awwwww.

I hate the way they've shortened the show by getting rid of two at a time. If only their do that with crap things that drew on and on... :(

Totally agree Soupy. They flog the livin' daylights out of complete rubbish and it goes on and on... X Factor is on half the year isn't it?! Yet this sneaks in at just six weeks, most frustrating!

I don't understand why they've shortened it. Was last year not popular enough?

Exactly!

However, they can make up for it by putting Patrick in leather trousers

I will be so sad to see it over for another year.

Leather trousers would only work if he grew his beard back. I worry that he'd look like a member of village people otherwise.

How right you are, Soup!

I now have a vision of Patrick as a New Romantic in leather & lace - and just a touch of eyeliner. Wibble.

Oooh yes ikiboo and a frilled shirt - a bit of a fop

if he wears leather trousers tonight, I'm gonna think I'm psychic

I thought I saw him recently on tv with a beard.

He's read this thread and taken note!

However, this has been the kick a friend and I needed to actually get ourselves to start running classes. We've got lots of lists, are just in the process of finding a venue and trying to find out from others what the first course should be

Evening, all!

Evenin' Halsall

I'm going to love seeing what they do with this. I had a lovely lace pencil skirt, black with cream satin lining too fat for it now damn

I don't have a good relationship with twin needles. Interested to see how this turns out. Wouldn't you use a walking foot for slippery satin and lace?

Quite likely Halsall, but I've never sewn anything like this...

Love all the colours but the purple which looks garish but need to see it finished..

Oh dear, Neil losing his grip on it...

Neoprene dresses?!

What do we think? Paul to go I think from previous weeks?

Is Lorna making a breastfeeding dress?

I think Paul will be lucky to stay. But what do I know

I think Paul will go too.

Oh no! Paul has taken out the wrong sleeve!

I want a leather jacket! but not Pauls Do you think a dumpy 40 something could get away with it?
