Sewing Bee 2024 thread 2 - 5 down, 7 to go!

[SoupDragon]

The other thread was getting too slow (and we were running out of space faster than the thread on a bobbin)

Suzy: I need more straps

No, you need more fabric!

I think Marcus will be going home.

DH and I are LOLing at Marcus's (and Cilla's 'Surprise, Surprise' on the soundtrack 😂)

I like the originality of Marcus's.

What has happened to Patrick's sense of style? He used to be so, well suave.

Now he looks like Val Doonican.

S&M from sweet, innocent looking Pascha??

Why Val Doonican? Do you think Patrick’s trousers are fitting too high on the waist, or is it their bright blue colour?

Patrick’s trousers just don’t look right this week; maybe too wide at the thigh!

They're just frumpy and a mismatch for the top (which should not have the top button done up)

I don't think there's anything right with his trousers - too bright, too high waisted, to baggy and they don't go with his top. Definitely preferred the tailored suits in earlier series

Kiel’s pronunciation of tricot and tulle? It seems he’s reading unfamiliar words from a script rather than being told what the fabrics are.

Luke absolutely hasn't practiced this.

I'm trying to work out which pattern it is.

I've ruled out the closet core Blanca flight suit or perhaps a mash up between the TATB Alexa and the Sew Over It Farrah jumpsuit. It's got a fancy front yoke which I can't place but know I've seen somewhere.

I think I have too many jumpsuit patterns in my stash already but I want.

I’m disappointed those mispronunciations weren't picked up in the edit.

I like Marcus' design. Hope it works.

I agree having Patrick’s top buttoned right up is more Val Doonican era, and I was alive then to see it.

But he’ll be far more fashion-forward than I am.

Blimey! That was a bit rude of Ailsa!

One day I will make a corset. I own several but have never dared.

Silas is having a mare

Alisa! 😯

Ailsa bloody autocorrect

Ailsa might be going home.

i prefer Silas though

I think Alisa might be gone this week.

I made a Vogue Nina Ricci ball dress in the 80s that had a boned bustier. My bust poked over the top towards the end of the night after a lot of dancing and alcohol

I like the colours of Suzy’s corset top more than I expected to.
