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

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

evening!

Evening all

i love fringed dresses.

Not for me, mind you. Just to see them on dancers!

Hello all. A football-free zone here so no problem watching the Bee.

I've given our beagle to choice of watching the footie with DH next door, or sewing bee in the kitchen with me. So, Daddy or zips.

Boom, boom!

I would absolutely get that fringing stuck in every single seam.

I once wore a black fringed dress to a flapper themed party. By the end of the night the fringe was all ankle length.

These lines of ringing should all line up...

Oh.

I wore a fringed flapperer dress once to a twenties themed dance, that I was calling, so I had to keep coming onto and off the stage. And kept getting my fringing caught in the stairgate.

I've just remembered that I did have to fix a fringed dress for DD's dance show last summer.

Which, bizarrely, she used to dance to Proud Mary!

Mine got stuck in my shoes. It's definitely not practical.

Tina was amazing this is just reminding me how fabulous she was

That was a terrible diva tantrum Pasha.

Loving that we all have "fringed dress" tales to tell!

Don't get me wrong, I love Tina, but when I think fringed dress and divas I think of Marilyn singing Runnin' Wild in Some Like It Hot.

it's not like it's an everyday garment either!

These are a shambles. Unusual for
Pascha to mess up

Alex's looks a bit sparse

Any issues aside, these are a lovely concept. I like Pascha’s colour choices.

Ailsa's fringe looks a bit like mop heads. Odd texture.

Luke's was excellent. He looks delighted.

Sorry I’m late!
Ailsa seems to be expecting criticism.

I was enjoying the diva music there! Bit of Laura Brannigan.

Esmé's necklace looks as though it’s been made out of old metallic washing-up scrubbers 🤔
