Sewing Bee back tonight

[Dottiethekangaroo]

I have just seen this in the newspaper. I am so excited, brand new host too.

This nice judge does make Esme seem really negative tonight.

Such a pity Pascha didn’t manage the skirt

The drapes all seem messy.

Love georgies

Can we keep this judge and retire Esme?

Yes, that’s her

I thought Pascha's was a really good short dress.

Love Lauren's!

Laurens is more Grecian than Indian

That orange is stunning. I can see what she means about Scottish/Indian fusion.

Cripes Lauren it’s very Greek

Alisa's would look so good pressed...

How is Pascha's not in gotw consideration

Love Pascha's earrings.

Suzy was very lucky

They will say because it wasn't finished, ignoring all the unfinished ones who have been GOTW.

I think the winner was excellent though.

Not sure I get Lauren going over Suzy

Oh I liked Lauren

Suzy is Esme's pet, probably a cat with nine lives. How many episodes in the series?

Edited for typo that was too annoying to leave.

I remember her. Lady who had grown up in Africa if I recall. She didn’t do any cutting, or something like that. I want to say she was called Precious.

I remember her doing a nightgown by spreading tye fabric on the floor then cutting, no pattern. It was stunning.

Joining late after the bloody football disrupted me remembering 😭

I think it was fair Lauren left after the grey toga and Suzy’s dress looked more finished. I preferred the drag dress over GOTW but appreciate Alisa had done a great job of interpreting the brief.

Don't agree with today's result.

SoupDragon had the answer upthread 👆 - Chinelo.

I posted before I saw that reply, and then I was too late to edit. And she did cut, but not to a pattern.

I picked up Chinelo's book for something daft like £6 in a sale. I'm not into her garments but her technique was intriguing.

The secret is a shit ton of measuring and sums.

This week was a definite improvement on last week. We even saw irons being used, even by Luke. I didn't get the "drama" of his M2M because the colours weren't balanced and his bubblegum pink dress was a simple stretch dress with puckered seams, lumpy hems and sleeves that were very much man length and covered the model's hands in a 9 year old trying on mum's dress sort of way.

I loved th impact of Ailsa's dress but there was a bit of bodging in there. In fact, there seemed to be a lot of bodging, this week.
