Sewing b

Have to agree I can't really see the point of her, surely Esme could tell them how many minutes left?

It’s one of my favourite programmes. The talented people doing the sewing are all lovely, the clothes are wonderful and interesting, Patrick and Esme are a class act.
I’m sorry but I have to agree, the blonde shouty presenter is spoiling the show for me too.

Joe whatshisname from the last series was brilliant!

I liked Joe too, he seemed sincere and was also very amusing.

Joe Lycett, I think. Not sure of the spelling.

I think there are 2 threads currently running on Sewing (No pun intended!).

… on the Seeing Bee, I meant to say!

What a mess I’m making - SEWING BEE!

Yes, there is. Just posted on that thread saying exactly as OP says. Quite a lot of us consider her miscast.

The other thread has been running since the series started.

I fail to see why the presenters on this type of programme have to be a comedian. Joe spoilt the previous series for me, and this one is even worse in my opinion!

I loved Joe. He was always interested in what everyone was doing. Esme says they still meet up as friends.

I can’t see the point of Sara Pascoe being there. I don’t find her particularly funny anyway and her comments seem forced and seem to fall flat (or receive polite laughter which also seems forced). I do live the show though.

LOVE the show not LIVE the show. Fat finger!!

Last night’s programme was excellent I thought.
How tricky is a bra to make? The sewers must have advanced skills before they enter themselves into the competition.
I have a GCSE in Needlework but would run a mile from some of the challenges set.
Even the transformation challenge was interesting and the best one - Debra’s jacket - was amazing.
Right decision to let the lovely Gill go. Her “leaving” speech had me in tears but she got so much more than sewing experience from being in the programme.

I agree Tilly.
Gill is an amazing lady and I too shed a tear. Sadly this time her garments weren’t up to scratch. The standard is quite high.
Debra’s jacket was the best transformation I’ve seen.

I love this programme. How tricky last night to make bras and pants.
Bring back Joe Lycett please. He was so funny.

I was also rather emotional last night when Gill had to leave......as was Patrick. What a truly inspirational lady she is.

Sadly I don’t think Joe will be back any time soon. He is doing his Day Job again now that Covid restrictions have been lifted and has a tour around the U.K. pretty much all of the summer this year (I’m sure you know he is a stand-up comedian).

I'm so glad that he can tour again. I wonder if he will come down here? (south west). Yes, he is a favourite comedian of mine.

Bath and Portsmouth in the South West henetha in September.

Sorry - do not wish to derail this Sewing Bee thread…

Thank you Tilly... I will click on the link....

Can’t believe it’s the semi final already. The origami dresses look really complicated.

The pink one that won was lovely. I got the impression the competitors had earlier been given time to design the dresses and to make a pattern.
