Sewing Bee - all the buzz, none of the sting!

[ArmWrestlingWithChasNDave]

A thread for discussion of Sewing Bee with no criticism of the contestants' personalities, mannerisms, or looks - just their sewing and designs, please.

Who's everybody's favourite for the win? I think Brogan's going to get it, but I'd be happy for any of them to win.

CALLED IT!!! I think that's the right choice. This has made me cry, I am so happy for them all.

@dillite genius 😀

Awww nice

Don't think Patrick has cried so often I one series.

I didn't particularly like Debra's dress.

Next week should be exciting

Absolutely the right decision. Would have been unfair to do it any other way.

Annie or Debra to win I think. Annie favourite

To me they weren't origami dresses. To my mind you sew together pieces and everything is flat, it's only when they fold that they get shape.

I am so pleased about this. Next week will be very good to watch- all four are ridiculously good, and have grown a lot throughout the show.

I found that episode really underwhelming. It's built in to these competition shows that as they get nearer the end they feel emptier.

Can't wait for the final though, I love when they bring back all the old faces.

That's the technique that I used for my origami top. I did use linen which was a bit too soft to hold the shape properly.

Brogan should have gone, her pattern challenge was wrong, the transformation was mediocre and she didn't follow the brief for the last challenge, it wasn't origami !

I do think they went with 4 for the final because they didn't want to send Brogan home even tho she had a poor semi final. As Patrick said at the beginning she's prob the most gifted sewer so I think they've thrown her a lifeline. It will make for a good final but not sure they'd have done it for the others.

But both Man Yee and Brogan failed equally in the pattern challenge. By the same logi, Debra should have gone as her patter challenge actually was worse than Brogan's and Man Yee's and she didn't do well in her transformation challenge. Annie was the only one to do consistently well this week.

Omg there’s something in my eye! 😭

I agree with @NashvilleQueen - on performance this week it should have been Brogan, but they dropped in the “technically the best sewer” comment to explain the decision. I kind of wish they’d done that for Marni, who was great until kids’ week when she wasn’t!

I'm quite pleased that we’ll watch them all next week and it’s too close to call.

PS Patrick’s silver fox moustache was looking very fine indeed.

Not sure, I think it was between Man Yee with a poorly sewn made to measure and Brogan using the wrong fabric.

Either way, I'm quite happy - Japanese week and the like always feel a bit gimmicky so I'd rather see them all in the final where they can sew "proper" clothes and choose a winner based on that.

I think they are very similar and all very talented.
Why do they make the models wear masks when no one else does? It makes them look as though they have health anxiety.
Not a fan of origami dresses

I thought exactly the same - I think she's been their favourite from the start, and is certainly very talented, but last wee her blouse was horrendous, and tis week she didn't;t meet the brief.

I think if it was any of the others they wouldn't have been so forgiving.

That judging was quite infuriating. Christian goes home last week for not meeting the brief, but no elimination at all this week despite Brogan doing exactly the same thing? Just be consistent!

I didn;t love any of those Made to measures, although Debra's was the most interesting. Would have loved to see more like this: www.instagram.com/shapesoffabric/ or Shingo Sato style designs.

100%

When Sara said "no-one" I thought she said "Brogan"!
Anyway, seems like a good decision.

LOVED Annie's dress, and Debra's after that. Glad nobody went but now next week is going to be very interesting!

Wow some of those Instagram ones are amazing! Far more what i was expecting.
