Sewing Bee

[Cocolapew]

New thread for this weeks 🙂

Me neither, all of a sudden I can't sew in a straight line, makes no sense.

I can do the first bit, it's the second side that confuses me.

These jackets are not going well. 😆

Oh dear, I think Aasma’s heading for an epic fail in this challenge

Tony's is great

Pffft!

You lightweight!

I could make a pig's ear of it in under 20 minutes.

None of them are brilliant.

I don't get the fact that the binding is shorter than the opening and the stretching thing. Don't like it.

How do these people have nails that are still intact? I look at a needle and my hah! manicure is ruined.

Dinosaur jacket was better - and more original .

Agree dino jacket was better

I liked Tony's best because it was properly wearable. Most of the other's weren't.

These are all hideous.

I worry about the judges' taste.

I wish the long haired models had their hair tied back - at least for the measuring and fitting, That little girl with the butter-coloured hair in particular has her hair getting in the way of everything.

@Emotionalsupportviper I could make a pigs ear of it far sooner than two hours but the rest of the time would be me realising that, to paraphrase D:Ream, Things Can Only Get Worse.

Vicky is reminding me a little of Diane Keaton.

Oh - if we're including weeping-in-despair time I suppose that would push me up to around at least the 1 hr 45 mins mark.

I'm now behind as I'm getting Eton mess. The diet is going well.

@Binglebong

Vicky’s hideous eye dress keeps appearing into view. It needs to accidentally fall out of a window.

Lauren's dress is very reminiscent of the Liberty frocks I got as a child from my, then, wealthy aunt. (She got divorced and wasn't wealthy anymore) I bloody loved them.

I like Mia's tartan fabric.

@Emotionalsupportviper I'm enjoying our competitive "I am shit" off!

Poor Lizzie is having a mare
