Sewing Bee 2026

All I could think about Anna's dress was that if the model were to sit down the skirt would pop.up in the air and expose her knickers! And goodness knows how she would manage in the loo! More of a sculpture than a garment I felt.

I think that Beth is the solid member. Not as flamboyant as the other 2 finalists but everything she does is beautifully executed.

I can barely see on a button and am always in awe of these wonder people!

I “inherited” a very basic sewing machine, with a manual, I cannot even even thread it 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I was put off sewing for life by a vile sewing teacher!

Sew on a button haha

Agree 100% with you Luckygirl3. I had the very same thoughts about Anna's dress. I really want Beth to win. I think she is very talented and she seems such a lovely person too!

It's the final 🪡

Yaaay 👏

It's interesting that the contestants' best friends look so much like them! Likes attract.

Oh! Sophie just said the same as me 😀

It could have gone to two of them tonight. I would have been equally as happy. Great finalists, great girls.

With due respect I really hope that no one would confuse me with my best friend, much as I love her.

You are not following the norm. A pair of non-conformists!

I am slightly unsure as to whether the right person won. There really was nothing at all to choose between two of them.

I so wanted Beth to win. I liked Anna’s creations during the series buts felt that they became a bit predictable with wire and boning. You can see she wants to go into theatrical design. I loved Beth’s Made to Measure, just right for the MET gala. I was not keen on Anna’s transformation. A pity Beth’s pattern challenge let her down. I kept yelling at her that she has chosen the wrong material but she took no notice!
Still a very close final.

I thought Beth’s Rumplestiltskin dress was better than Anna’s, which looked a bit like a child’s fairy dress.

However, overall tonight Anna was the more successful, so deserved to win.

Emma was nowhere in it.

I think both Esme and Patrick had earmarked Anna as winner from day one.

I thought Anna's dress looked a mess. Those wings looked weird as if they would fall off any moment and the wire in them was too light so that their shape was very uncertain. It looked more like something from the ;transformation round than the final piece de resistance.

I felt real shock when she, and not Beth won.

Beth and Anna are both wonderful seamstresses and I thought both Met dresses were beautiful well made and perfectly fit the brief.

The only mark between them last night was the error on the bow tie.

It was lovely to see how their creativity came out every week.

Emma was always going to be behind the other two but fully deserved her place in the final.

It was a good final. Though Anna would win but I really hoped Beth would pull it off her dress was fabulous. Anna's looked like it belonged to Tinkerbell.
Poor Emma didn't really stand a chance up against those two amazing young women but she was excellent too.
Good series always enjoy it.

I thiught that Anna's only really good offering was the bow tie and cummerbund.
Her transformation with the bobbles was poor and her winged gown was I thought not good ... the wiring was too visible and it looked like something from a panto!
Beth's transformation dress was a triumph .. it fitted the brief in a more subtle way and was perfectly sewn and fitted.
I think Patrick fancied Anna ... just saying!

I agree about the bobbles/pom poms.

Thought they looked out of place, and expected that outfit to be rated last.

But what do I know?!!

Yes, think Anna’s Bohemian look appealed to Patrick very much!

I think Anna won because she hit the current design zeitgeist. Beth’s sewing is beautiful, and her clothes were more appealing to our age group, but Anna won out on imagination and originality. She made things that the hip young wear.

Anna knew her bobble dress was below par - that's why she stuck the bobbles and flower on as a slightly desperate measure! - and she looked a bit surprised at winning that challenge!

Anna's designs were mostly unbearable but would be well suited to theatrical design. She has a bright future ahead of her. The beach club design did not fulfil the brief in my opinion. Beth's was better.

Beth's made to measure was beautifully sewn and classy, far and away the best.

Unwearable!!
Somehow it keeps being changed to make the meaning totally different.

I thought Anna was a worthy winner and I hope she goes on to have a successful career in costume design.

I love to watch the "what happened next" reel at the end of the finals. I wonder if Beth will change careers or stick with engineering? One of the male contestants has started a clothing company - good for him.

I loved this series very much and it's been the best for many years.

I also wanted Beth to win and much preferred her Met Gala dress. Anna was always the one that Patrick and Esme liked because of her creativity so no surprise that she won.
