SEWING BEE 2022 - starts tomorrow Wednesday 27th April

[Saffy]

I love that the sewing bee has the historical information. The bake off used to do it too but they've lost it since the move to ch4.

Yes, I think that’s a shame.

Also I think that woman who does it is very chic

 

[marshall]

Am I the only bloke on this thread?

Nope, love it. Early doors I had Marnie for the win but now Steve’s gone - did I hear right that he only really started over lockdown or was that someone else, or just my imagination - it could be anyone’s imo, the remaining sewers have all had their moments, hard to call; thought there were more than a few great duvets to dresses, for example.

Heard Steve say he hadn't even started sewing til 9 months ago

Brogan is getting on my tits.

I veer from being annoyed by her to loving her work.

Amber Butchart is a fucking goddess. I can highly recommend a stitch in time on iPlayer with her. Also with the first few series they did a lot more of the history bit, so I am glad they still are doing some of it.

Mr S secretly loves watching it with me, he'd never admit to watching it at work though!.... apparently they'll take the piss

There's something quite bizarre about a hairy arsed 6ft 5 long haired biker type tutting at someones puckered and wobbly seams or shouting oooo don't do it like that you'll break your needle!

 

[Voley]

My keen eye for fashion extends to comments along the lines of 'Last time I saw a dress like that it was on Little House on the Prairie'.

 

[onenameshelley]

Following Brogan on insta and she just announced she is pregnant , she is gonna sew so many beautiful little outfits, I just hope she realises babies leak from all sorts of places, and it's not worth it

 

[scifisam]

She's barely more than a baby herself, surely!

I can see why people would find her annoying, but she's actually quite sweet, and very talented.

Glad Steve's gone - nice guy, but really way below the level of everyone else. Wonder if he was a last-minute entrant after someone dropped out or something? And yes, we couldn't tell him apart from the other guy

I love her! I want to make and wear all the frills after going through her posts.

I also really want a quilted jacket. I need to find somewhere else to sew so I might take over the dining table as my sewing/spare room is now an office.

 

[onenameshelley]

I would sell a kidney for a sewing space.

Yes!
With a massive cutting table and loads of fabric everywhere and a huge comfy chair.

 

[onenameshelley]

YES!!! Kids week, love it

 

[Saffy]

YES!!! Kids week, love it

I love this episode. Especially the costume challenge!

 

[onenameshelley]

Marni is not comfortable around kids and I love her for her attempts

My girl crush on Annie just went up a notch today

 

[Saffy]

Debra's made to measure was amazing!

 

[onenameshelley]

Debra's made to measure was amazing!

Yeah and Annie's as well. Marni though

 

[onenameshelley]

Wow

 

[RubyToogood]

Noooo

Also, what a duff lot of sailor suits. Very unnautical.

 

[Saffy]

So surprised by who went!

 

[mrsfran]

I liked Marni last week but by the end of this week I was glad she went, found her annoying for some reason.

The Miss Haversham costume was amazing!

 

[Looby]

That was great. I did chuckle about how awkward Marni was when she met her model.

I actually agreed with the GOTW too!

 

[Voley]

That Miss Haversham outfit was brilliant.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I've always thought shirring was pronounced shurring, but on TV everyone pronounces it shearing.

Me too.

 

[marshall]

Gosh, originally thought Marni was going to win the whole thing, and still seems very early for her to be going home. Definitely not enthused by kids week though, compared to others her M2M was just a bit flat, joyless. Shame, quite liked her.

I thought they might win the whole thing too, was a shock to see them go but they didn't do very well and seemed a bit meh about this week

 

[Siouxsie]

That was a shock last night, didn't see that coming from any angle, what a shame, she was my favourite.
Miss Havisham was so beautiful - it baffles me where people get their ideas from, guess that's why I'd never make a designer

Well she obviously hadn't practised or she would have known the tubing wasn't going to work. I wondered as soon as she got it out.

 

[campanula]

Yep, me too, RubyToogood "Alkathene pipe' (I was shrieking at the screen). Plus, a dark fairy was about as dull as 'princess' or 'pirate': a kids fancy dress item should have really been a chance to show off some fantastical garments.

 

[scifisam]

I was a bit surprised - it wasn't a very good Halloween outfit, but she didn't do badly in the other two tasks (was third in one, middle in the other). They're all pretty similar now, in terms of skill, though, so they had to choose someone.

The dragon outfit was awesome as well, but Miss Havisham was just inspired, and the kind of thing a lot of nine-year-old girls would love to wear at Halloween.

The clown was the creepiest! But very well done. I think Christian could be a bit of a dark horse now we know which one he is. Only man left standing!
