The price of tablecloths and duvet covers on Ebay is going to rocket.

The Bake Off-ifucation of these shows is unfortunate.
What I will say is, while Bake Off has long since become a semi-pro competition, with very tight timings, and Pottery has never really been 'properly' amateur, Sewing Bee retains an amateur/hobbyist air that I hope stays for as long as they renew it.
(Anyway, for this series, I'll just summarise my thoughts:
PUPPETS! BUTTONS! ADHD! SHADE! )

We always watch it - it's my second favourite after the pottery.
She's not bad-looking, so thank you!
Have standards really dropped? Basic skills such as zips, hems. fastenings seem to be a bit dodge. I get that there is the time jeopardy but I dread to think what the actual finishing is like (no linings, interfacings and I don't think I have seen anyone pressing seams yet). The fella doing the chit-chat is not super-annoying so that's a plus point for me (I was desperate for someone to lose their rag and give Lycett a slap).

I found myself thinking at the beginning of the episode that she hadn't really shown us what she was made of yet. I loved that dress.
I think they may be giving less time than in previous serieseseses. Certainly everyone seems more pressured. The wedding dress challenge was a lot of work though also.

Also, can I just say, the woman who makes everything out of duvet covers - none of her own dresses that she's wearing fit her.

They are oversized, yes, but they all bunch up round the neck and stuff. Even oversized clothes should fit where they touch the body.

Suzy's Jane Horrocks, right? We only know most of them by nicknames, except for Pascha, who is an obvious winner. I quite liked Jane Horrocks's dress this week, and thought she definitely deserved to get through after a few weeks where she scraped through.
The guy who went out has the nickname Serial Killer. I feel bad, because everything he says makes him seem like a lovely bloke, but his dead stare looks very much like "he kept himself to himself - we always thought the needles were just for sewing..."

are we there yet?
I find Suzy intensely annoying and I really don't like any of her clothes. Can she go soon please?
