Great British Sewing Bee- Patrick's official appreciation society bound by wundaweb

[dillite]

Seeing that we are going to be in need of a third thread... My title makes no sense, does it? I had a funny one in mind earlier but it escapes me now. Should have used hot glue gun to make it stick.

Yes that seems unfair to me Captain. Sewing/baking competitions should be for all!!

Definatly no jumper room on any of them.

Is anyone else expecting to see those knickerbockers on the historian lady next series?

Thanks for the link Schadenthe bit about Leah’s muppety flollops made me laugh

Am I the only one who quite liked Ricardo’s knickerbockers? 😊. Glad he finally got GOTW at last.

Loving the shirt Halsall and that’s a beautiful quilt BoF.

I’ve just finished some cargo style trousers for DH and just finishing up a wrap skirt for me.

I liked the knickerbockers - they were a really good idea and a lot of skill seemed to go into making them. But I don't think I could exactly get away with wearing them!!!

Agree that a good coat has to be able to go over a jumper, especially here in Scotland. I was amazed at the coats with silly narrow sleeves when I last went coat shopping

I loved the knickerbockers Watcher.

PrivateIsles are you the historian lady???

haha I see what you mean angst! When I posted I didn't notice the PP comment about Amber (?is that her name?) wearing them!! Sadly I am not her
I think she could get away with knickerbockers.

My arse looks like knickerbockers.

Riccardo's knickerbocker outfit was the ONLY garment I liked in that challenge.

I thought the knickerbockers were well made but utterly ridiculous.

Glad it’s not just me. Soup I would wear them to the beach but then I am known to be slightly ridiculous 🤪

As am I Soup and Watcher - in fact, more than slightly . . .

I do feel some sewers in the invention challenges do not produce very wearable results. Would still like them to include soft furnishings.

Needs a final iron it wrap around skirt finished. Sorry for the crappy pictures, David Bailey I am no.

Note to self...remember to preview posts before posting :-/

That will look gorgeous - the colours are amazing! They are silk patches aren't they?

Fabulous.

Lovely, Uatu! 👏👏

Did someone mention Amber Butchart and Riccardo-style knickerbockers......?

God, Halsall.

That woman has the second-best job in the world.

(Best job = dog walker)

I’m slinking in rather late to this thread. These days I’m more of a quilter than a dressmaker, but I do like to watch —Patrick and Esme— the sewing bee.

I have stood very near to Amber Butchart and exchanged a few words with her.

She is VERY short. And she was dressed and made up and coiffed exactly as on the telly.

Beautiful! That will look gorgeous on.

Thanks all. It is silk patches wombled from things from charity shops and bits left from other projects. They’ve been laid out and sewn on a backing and then hand stitched along the edges of the patches in various colours with silk thread to make it look as if
it’s patchworked together.

Love that Amber Butchart outfit.
