Sewing Bee

[Davros]

Just saw a lovely trailer, it starts on 26th May. Can't wait

I like Josh's model. I will have him in that robe, but he can leave his suit behind.

I think it could be Jamie but I'm not sure.

I think Jamie too.

Loved Josh's dressing gown. Gorgeous fabric.

Oh, yay Charlotte! Hers was beautiful.

Based on this week only, it's right that Jamie goes but overall, probably it should have beenJosh.

Ooh. Jamie's gone. Just as I learned his name... :o

Gosh that's a shock. Jamie was the star in the first episode winning everything nearly

Next week looks like it's going to be exciting.

Ooooh cant wait for next week with south african dresses!

Esme seems a bit naughty under her cool facade!

Wowzer - I have a tutorial of Jamie bookmarked for making a man's shirt. I think his sewing is ace

I initially thought Charlotte was mad to 'hand finish' but actually all it was was felling the inside of the contrast edge which wouldn't have taken long. I far prefer to hand finish edges like that on important things because it is so much nicer.

It was simple, but very effective and meant she could actually achieve a good finish. I do think that some of the contestants over-think the challenges and set themselves far too much to realistically do well in the time.

ohyes I agree pigeon. They don't prove anything by picking the trickiest materials, Charlotte's was just fine cotton and it looked wonderful.

I'd wear angeline's though - very va va voom!

I like Angeline's pattern and fabric choices - bold and dramatic. Jade too.

The only bit I didn't like of Angelines was the puffy shoulder seam. I think it would havebeenfarmore elegant as a smooth one.

You're probably right. I like her stuff but I wouldn't wear any of it, it's not my style - just living vicariously! I have a Primark dressing gown with newborn vom epaulettes...

Mine has a shawl collar with hair dye detailing :)

Anyone around for this tonight? International week... soooo looking forward to the west african dresses

Me!

I'm watching!

I'm here!

Checking in!

You know what I want them to do? Make a winged back armchair cover from scratch. I need to make some but no idea where to even begin and all the online tutorials seem to focus on straight armchairs.

Here we go then! This should be fun, love those chinese tops
