Sewing Bee 2026

Think the PVC outfits would be a bit uncomfortable in the heatwaves we’re having!

I used to have a bottle green PVC Mac, (remember them?) and it was never very forgiving to wear, despite being fashionable back in the day.

They weren't really wearable but fun!

In a sea of colour, Lewis's shirt and trousers stood out like a sore thumb being plain white. I think those who are sent home in the early stages very likely heave a sigh of relief when they see what others are producing. I was pleased that it was Heather who had garment of the week, for a change.
I really like Sophie as presenter. A lady who is clearly very comfortable in her own skin which is good to see.

Most of the make-overs are totally impractical and rarely are any of the garments wearable.

I can remember real makeovers just after WW2. My father had (legal) access to old army blankets and parachute silk. All my underwear in my first 5 years was home made from parachute silk. My mother even made her own bras. Blankets were made into dressing gowns and cut down and remade for cots. Sweaters were unravelled and reknitted.
