Great British Sewing Bee 2020 part 2

[GrandAltogetherSo]

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.
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?

Boden did a dress in Mark's fabric a couple of years ago. I sent mine back as I looked like Dolores Umbridge

Dolores Umbridge

I've considered applying but if I were to make it, the show would be one giant bleep as all I do is swear!

Yep, sleeve heads can be a bastard..

I like Matt’s orange fabric.

Is it me or are some of them lazily thinking eighties = vile and overdosing on bling?

Evening! Bit late but I'm here.

Looking forward to a trip down memory lane this evening. I had a jacket very similar to that and wore it clubbing on a Saturday night with a pencil skirt, polyester blouse and stilettos...

Oh, I hate, hate, hate setting in sleeves.....

I cannot ever imagine sewing a tailored jacket in 4 hours. I've got a jacket I've been working on for literal months.

I think they are. It wasn't all like that. I mostly wore rara skirts or dungarees.

Now I want to strut about wearing massive shoulder pads

Ah... the rah rah skirt. I was wearing one when I met Nick Heywood 😂

I have sewn dozens of sleeves and I still don't really understand the setting of sleeves... I have started to use the flat method quite a lot, even when it calls for a set in sleeve.

Matt's looks good.

Matt's looks well made

Oh I love the Frankie music... takes me back

Without the giant shoulders, those are nice jackets.

I find myself remembering all the words to the music so far.....

The soundtrack is just wonderful.

Therese in trouble again

EnolaGay. OMD.

Oh, Therese. Not again.

Can't believe Teresa will survive this week.

Therese on a shoogly peg already

Surely Therese can’t make it another week?

That pvc one is horrible though.

Tears for fears before that Soup
