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?

I am going to LOVE the flamenca outfits

Evening all

Evening all

I am so sick of the word goth!

Not loving this top.

Was just thinking that, wolf......

Found you!

That blouse looks tricky. I do like Clare - I know she is a bit predictable but I like her style.

Evening! How are you all?

OMG Esmes necklace is revolting!

All good here.

I love this week. And I remember how fiddly it is to cover buttons, a real pain

Need to see Esme's necklace now!

Nicole's gone for a tricky fabric again!

That is some waistcoat and tie combination...

Watching this show makes me feel as if I am the only one who traces patterns onto the fabric before cutting it. They all cut their fabric with pattern pieces on top of it.

And why have two gone for see through fabric??

Mark's got the wrong fabric.

So unforgiving to use see through

Mark's picked wrong fabric, it looks too flaccid to be able to keep those sleeves up.

That's what I've always done (like they do) never considered doing it any other way in over 50 years of sewing.

Who is using that silky blue material, won't that be too floppy?

Snap dilitte I'd forgotten his name!

Isn't the netting going to be really ugly and visible under the sheer versions?

Oh god... ViLE imelda marcos, her of the thousands of shoes, nasty piece of work

Why the heck has Matt picked that dreadful floppy material?

I have never heard of Imelda Marcos. Sounds like some googling is in order.

That floral embroidered dress that they were showing her in is stunning.
