Hope I haven’t jumped the gun, but the old thread was getting quite full.

I’ve just been browsing the
www.bigcommunitysew.co.uk/
and trying to work out what sewing machines they were using at home. I always do that when a magazine has a feature about one if the contestants. Blush
I think Therese has the same Juki machine as I have and she’s also got the mini quilter too. Lucky lass.

Also, do you think that maybe either Therese or that slightly annoying bloke Peter might have won this year as they also have Juliet, the winner from the last series in this group?

Ladies. 3 metres of fabric arrived today. Do I make:

A) dungarees (simple Made By Jacks Mum ones)

B) skirt (simple Tilly and the Buttons one)

Help!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 20/05/2020 19:31

Depends on the fabric.

Wolfcub · 20/05/2020 19:56

Thank you Grand

Haggisfish · 20/05/2020 20:35

Sew some new knockers, not see!!

Haggisfish · 20/05/2020 20:36

I think skirt.

CaptainMyCaptain · 20/05/2020 20:42

If it's a sturdy fabric I'd make the dungarees but that's just because I want some.

Jellykat · 20/05/2020 21:04

Evening ladies..
Boned basque, nice!

dillite · 20/05/2020 21:04

Good evening! Let's hope that tonight doesn't go all pants.

Halsall · 20/05/2020 21:05

Evening folks. I see Liz has already made it all about the Goth.

Marsalimay · 20/05/2020 21:05

I'm very much looking forward to this week's episode. I have been making my own knickers for a while now as I love boxer styles shorts (e.g. Boux Avenue, George etc) but they seem to be going out of fashion in the shops. Since I found the stitch sisters video my gussets improved Grin

I have been trying to figure out how to make a bra that is simple to make and comfortable to wear. I'm getting past underwires I'm afraid.

RomaineCalm · 20/05/2020 21:05

Evening all!

This looks hard. And easy to get wrong.

Haggisfish · 20/05/2020 21:05

Oh good lord how fiddly! And how superbly sewn was the one they looked at-the pattern matched and everything.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 20/05/2020 21:06

This looks fiddly!

ScarfLadysBag · 20/05/2020 21:06

Someone is going to end up with an upside down boob for sure

dillite · 20/05/2020 21:07

Those bra cups look tiny! Oh to need tiny cups!

fourquenelles · 20/05/2020 21:07

I'd need considerably bigger cups. The fabric is fab though.

ScarfLadysBag · 20/05/2020 21:07

I was just thinking that. Half my tit would be squishing out the sides.

dillite · 20/05/2020 21:08

Why unpick when it's quicker to cut a new piece?

Jellykat · 20/05/2020 21:08

How do they make mistakes, surely you'd check and double check?

Wolfcub · 20/05/2020 21:08

Liz looks like she's motoring through this

Poshjock · 20/05/2020 21:09

Checking in. I had to catch up on iPlayer last week - Me and DH were watching something else last week.

I would love to make my own bras, but mine are more in the serious construction type that require a lot of seam work and fabric to hold everythink in place. Those basque cups wouldn't even threaten my nipples!

dillite · 20/05/2020 21:09

Haha half a hanging boob. All I would get out of those cups are nipple covers.

Haggisfish · 20/05/2020 21:09

I have nae tits and they look too small even for me!

SoupDragon · 20/05/2020 21:09

How have they not mentioned Drag yet?

MoltenLasagne · 20/05/2020 21:10

I'd love to make my own underwear but where on earth do you get fabric from?

Also Marsalimay what pattern do you use because I love that style too
