Sewing Bee

[Davros]

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

Hello all!

Where does Tracey find all those hideous fabrics for the bib parts of her dresses?

Eeeek that sounds tricky dillite

That challenge looks really hard.

Yes I do despair of Tracey's dress sense... episode 1 had her adding wide white lace to something in the reinvention test. Ghastly!

Probably why no-one has attempted to make one before, Rousette

Love Charlottes fabric.

This does look really tricky!

I want Jamie to do well. Not sure he is!

Checking in!

Those busy fabrics don't help with the zip insertion.

I briefly got very smug because I have made a qi pao, but then they started mentioning darts and I remembered that I made it for DD1 so I didn't have to worry about darts. And it took me about three times longer than it's taking them, and I had more detailed instructions.

I want to have a go at one though.

Do they deliberately give them slightly vague instructions?

Respect Tragically! Couldn't tackle this unless I had years to do it

Those mannequins could do with some low carb bootcamp.

With the zip on these anything short of photographs is vague. But I expect so, like in the technical challenge on Bake Off.

Hi Helen!

I love some of these materials

Not sure what Josh has ended up with!

Actually, it looks right on the mannequin.

Oh wow, Tracey's isn't actually slap dash.

Why is Esme wearing my gran's rag rug on her dress?

Yay for Josh!

Josh looks pretty gobsmacked!

I like that lemon-print fabric on Angeline ignores the actual sewing challenge

I'm really interested in this as I have a number of saris I picked up from a charity shop.
