Sewing Bee 2021, thread 2

[dillite]

Sorry, couldn't think of a clever title

Damian seems a friendly cheeky chappie, which is fine. The ones where it is jokes at others expense do my head in.

I thought Raph's was fantastic sewing, but I wondered how comfortable it would actually be to wear, with so many seams that could potentially rub. I also thought it looked a bit like a maternity dress, but everybody else seems to like it, so...

I liked the top and bottom of Andrew's, but the waist was off.

I think Andrew will go after Damian.

I'm sure they'll be the two who go over the next 2 weeks but I honestly haven't a clue in which order. Damien seems to have a charmed life that puts him in second bottom place each week.

Just catching up now, Damien has grown on me too! Agree final 3 Serena, Farie, Raph and early prediction that Raph might win!

It looked like the seams would have been on the outside as he had the raw edges showing so I don't think it would be too uncomfortable. It was a beautiful piece of sewing but I hated the shape and felt the orca detracted from it - he could have nicked some offcuts from the black and white jeans and it would have been less lost.

I also didn't like the shape of Ralph's dress, it did look like a maternity dress, but I was awed by the design and his sewing skills. He is definitely a contender for the final and I wouldn't be surprised if he won this year's sewing bee.

I wouldn't want to wear Raph's dress. I'd look like I was trying to dress like a toddler. The whale did not help my train of thought on that!!

But I do think the design, shape aside, was brilliant, how he incorporated the pattern of the patchwork on the pocket was brilliant.

I thought half the seam was inside, half outside.

It wasn’t really fitted, was it? Dodging the main point of the challenge..

It annoyed me that it wasn't fitted.

I'm not ignoring the skill involved in making it though!

Yes. Overlapped.

My mistake.

Struggled to find this thread.

Here we are!

Although the thread is due to finish!

Evening all

Howdy

Hello!

Shall I start a new thread for us?

Damien could screw this up if he doesn't read the instructions!

The tiny checks are a brave choice

What is the point of a yoke??

Oh please do Nutella
We don't want to get caught short!

Do it nutella!

Evening everyone!

This looks super hard!
