Great British Sewing Bee 2026

[LIZS]

Back on 14th July at 8pm

Wearing an outfit made from a laminated tablecloth would be a good way to sweat a cold out.

Is Harvest Festival celebrated in January?!

Love Tim's fabric.

In Mexico maybe.

Very creative though.

What did Esme say to Lewis at the end?

'Do you dye your hair?' Odd.

So pleased with the winner of Garment of the Week. I agreed.

I am amazed how many of them don’t read the instructions first in the made to measure

Very odd! GOTW was lovely.

(He said he didn't.)

Right person to go too.

A good mix of sewers getting recognition this week.
And the right one went home.

I was impressed with Tim’s pattern matched fringed jacket in the made to measure round. And Heather’s GOTW. And I admired the idea of Lewis’ white shirt and trousers - it seemed clever to find festival gear that suited his own aesthetic.

But mostly the interpretation of Mexican style that emerged from the contestants wasn’t really to my taste - hoping for something I’ll feel more engaged with next week.

Watching on catch up. No one doing day of the dead. Sad

Anna’s look boring for a change

I liked Adele's yellow tablecloth top - thought it was dramatic and wearable - don't know why it scored so low. I also liked Tim's M2M outfit - really good.
Overall I think Heather was a worthy winner though of GOTW and I think the right person went home.

It was nice to see Heather come out from under the radar. Her MTM was relatively simple but her aesthetic choices were excellent and really made it stand out. I see so many people do a terrible job of just mixing a print and a plain so mixing 5 prints and a plain would have been quite a challenge!

He was even fuller of cold last week. I wonder if they film thr episodes close together, because colds rarely last a week.
