I'm not any better at sewing than poetry as it happens.

Anyways, line for Patrick starts behind me.

@SnoopCatz

I thought Serenas dress was a bit baggy in the middle and far too short at the back. Damiens was an excellent fit, I feel a bit sorry for him being snapped at by the judges, quite out of character for them (unless it has been previously edited out). I do wish Patrick would untuck his tie from inside his high-waist trousers.
I don't know - the "no point pressing it if you don't hang it" and "do it yourself instead of him" comments (both paraphrased) just made me get idea it was a straw that broke the camel's back moment. It just felt like Patrick had enough the slovenly behaviour and other people sorting things out for Damien.

I could well believe that Damien is the type of person who expects others to pick up after him!! That yawn-some "cheeky" type, that some people (inexplicably) are a dogsbody do things for apparently "it's easier" or "they aren't able" and so on.

I’m glad Farie got through - she has be worried every week!

growinggreyer · 28/05/2021 14:51

I thought that exchange with Patrick was more about him not trusting Joe to hang it up properly - like on the Repair shop when they don't allow Jay to touch anything breakable!

i like damien. i think he's got way more criticism than any of the other contestants online because he's a blokey, straight, older man. i think some of the stuff he's made is lovely and he seems to get along well with his models in a very down to earth chatty way. i do root for the underdogs though which is why raph grates on me. i like farie too think she's great.

@Whitney168

I thought the fit on front top of Raph’s was very odd?
Yes, gapey all round in an earlier clip but I think the model muzt have stood differently for the judging as magically it fitted better

That was my take on it as well.
ContinuousMonotoneBeep · 28/05/2021 15:19

It was the two comments together made me feel Patrick was fed up with him.

But I get it, you like Damien- almost a such as he like trims 😆

ContinuousMonotoneBeep · 28/05/2021 15:19

Actually I say that, he didn't use a trim this week did he!

I like Damien, too.

I'd hate to live with him - he'd drive me up the wall, but socially, in company on a night out, I think he'd be a great laugh.

I loved his dress - very smart - but definitely not a party dress.

Farie's was a lovely colour, but it made the model look very heavy - not flattering at all.

That's not why he's got criticism from me.

That couldn't be further from the truth if Boris Johnson had said it.

Maireas · 28/05/2021 17:59

Will no-one stand up for blokey, straight, older White men?! Grin

Maireas · 28/05/2021 18:00

Seriously, I don't care about Damien's age, gender or whatever, I just don't think his work is particularly impressive thus far.

Me! I've already said on here I'd like Damien to win. I think he's great

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 28/05/2021 18:48

I liked his no party party frock.

The only way I’d be wearing a gold frock like the gotw is that if I ate my body weight in Ferrero Rocher, covered myself in honey and rolled on the discarded papers.

I like him. But if Serena doesn’t win summat is wrong.

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:09

@SheldonesqueTheBstard - now that's a scene I'd love to see GrinGrin!!
I love a bit of gold. I have some lovely gold lame trousers.
I have a natural antipathy to tweed. Find it a bit dull.

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:10

@MrsFin - you could be spot on there!

JemimaTab · 28/05/2021 19:13

I think Serena seems to be the best sewer, but I don’t find her stuff that exciting if I’m honest. I really didn’t like that tuxedo dress she did. I don’t mind Damien but I do find him mildly irritating (and I can imagine it gets on P & E’s nerves that he’s always so blase about reading the instructions). I have really liked some of Farie’s stuff but I don’t think she’ll make the final because of her timing issues. I like Raph too and get the impression that he’s their favourite to win.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 28/05/2021 19:17

I’d look like the world’s biggest ferrero rocher. And naturally bumpy and lumpy. 😬

There isn’t enough gold lamé in the world to clad my hind. And if there were I’d be mistaken for the actual golden hind (yes - the ship)

I envy those who can rock a pair of glam trews…

I’m a tweedy bairn. Only got a coat though.

There is also not enough tweed in the world for trousers 😬

Ouch, that's damning - a Johnson Level untruth wow 😄.Do agree it's not true- where the more criticism coming from?

I don't like Ferrero Rotherham, I also have never worn gold, so Raph's dress is out for me.

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:27

@SheldonesqueTheBstard 😂😂😂😂😂
I have little thin legs, so anything that glams them up, I wear. I also have a pair of red sequinned trousers that glimmer as I move....

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:28

@ContinuousMonotoneBeep "I don't like Ferrero Rotherham" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:30

I say Rafe/Raph/Raff for the win. He's the favourite.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 28/05/2021 19:35

I have tree trunky legs - giant redwood rather than sapling.

If I put on something red and glittery I’d stop traffic/trains within a 59 mile radius Grin

Proper jealous my friend. Grin

Maireas · 28/05/2021 19:43

Oh no, Sheldon, I have no arse and my legs are so short I buy cropped trousers to wear as full length. A legs wax lady once gave me a discount!!
