Sewing Bee Thread Four

Here we are!

I am watching s1e1. Patrick was HOT AF back then! Very dapper and not an ill fitted suit in sight.

He's still hot.
I used to think he was hot whatever he wore.
Then I saw this.

I am binge watching from series 1 on BBBC Iplayer. I am so happy to have found this. I love how Claudia I reacts with everyone.

[SoupDragon]

Ah.... we were chatting about it even then 😂

I remember thinking in the first series that Tilly had the design skill and Ann had the sewing talent. Combine them and it would have been amazing.

[PickAChew]

Will have to hunt for that. Currently on series 4. Just watched the bras with ds1 blushing all the way through 🤣

Realised I've seen most of series 5 as that's the one with Jen @jenerates. So I need to hop back to series 2. It's hard working g out what I have and haven't seen with the random 2 year gaps.

[dillite]

Have you seen the first Christmas special? It's absolutely amazing with them all getting involved and both Patrick and May sewing.

[dillite]

It makes sense. But having never seen these series before, I kinda thought that she had won, considering how big she is now. I am not slating her off or anything, I have used her patterns and tutorials myself when I was learning how to sew. It's just funny how some contestants blow up, when the winners often don't.

I also wish they would bring back the transformation challenge where they were all given an identical item and asked to transform it.

I am watching season 1. I am surprised how bad Tilly was and how far she has come. She's done amazing.

I have a few of Tilly's patterns and her book Stretch. All the instructions are really well explained with photos, perhaps because she so recently (in terms of that series) learned to sew she understands the need for details that beginners might have.

It obviously wasn't just us remarking on his jackets

So they were intentionally bad looking?

Serena's yellow final dress is the antithesis of the first episode's buffet dress. You'd be struggling to munch on a load of sausage rolls and houmous with that yellow frontage in the way 😊

You could probably store several platters of sausage rolls in it though.

I hadn't actually noticed the suits to be honest.

Not in those suits that he's been sporting this season @CaptainMyCaptain

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Not quite so day-glo!

[Sunbird24]

Serena’s feed just popped up on my Instagram. Her dress looks a better yellow in these pictures!

Lottery Throwdown - contestants wrestle for a Euromillions lucky dip. I'm in!

Don't you just love Autocorrect?

@SoupDragon ‘Pottery’ throw down

I was wondering if Lorna's family found it nice having her on the tv, so they can see her whenever they wanted?

@PickAChew

You know, for all the grumbles about current challenges, the final of series 3 has left me pissed off.

I'm still pissed off about that final, and I did wonder at one point last Wednesday if it was going to be a similar outcome this final. Neil and Lorna were the front runners and although Matt was good I was surprised he won first place.
