Great British Sewing Bee- only staples and glue guns are allowed

[dillite]

I thought I would make a new thread quickly seeing that the first one is nearly full

I've heard that some charity shops will take fabric scraps to send off for recycled waste, dillite - I've never tried it, though.

If they're big enough for patchwork they should definitely take them; my local Oxfam sells bags of scraps.

I was sadly a little too young for Biba, but I absolutely love the look.

I was a teenager in the late 70s so had a couple of years of flares and hippiedom before punk kicked in.

Puffling - my Superpower is my autocorrecting.

I always end up steeped in gravy . . . .

Love the fashion history lady.
dislike pussy bow blouses. Ugly.

Poor Mercedes, I don't think she gives herself the best chance of going through tbh.

I do have to say that Patrick's jacket game this season has been lacking. he's been looking like someone who's no idea how to wear a jacket.

I use my small scraps in the wood burner. They make very good firelighters.

Why a "pussybow"? My cats would be deeply offended if asked to wear one of these.

Yes I used to volunteer in a charity shop and any garments which aren't put on sale in the shop go in the 'rag'.

This is collected weekly, and the charity receives money on weight.

Oh dillite, that looks GORGEOUS!

Esme is MUCH slimmer than I thought she would be.

The clothes she has worn up until this week have made her look like a "traditionally built" lady.

She's tiny!

Blouse of Frankenstein.

Like the sound of your posh bunting Fuzzy! Love a bit of bunting.

I wonder if Joe on his own is enough? I feel he needs a comedy partner.

There are some real horrors here

They are definitely down on Riccardo

I've finally stumbled over from the MC thread. Not sure how much I can contribute to this but I do love the Sewing Bee even though I have absolutely no talent for anything remotely 'crafty'.

Riccardo can just pretend that it was a design feature.

Those blokes aren't very FUPA friendly.

Ha ha soup!

Soup

LOL!

Some of these are truly horrible.

Oh Mercedes, poor show!

Know what you mean about Esme, Schaden, she looked a bit Soviet in those shapeless things she was wearing.

Juliet is doing brilliantly.

I disagree that Juliet's fabrics work well - it looks horrible!

dillite oh my that skirt is truly wonderful 💓
Head has exploded at the thought of bra making.
