I thought Brogan was a goner.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I’m glad Brogan stayed, I really like all four of the remaining contestants.
I didn’t understand what they were supposed to do with the pockets. Apart from - you need to see the right side of the fabric. The rest was gobbledegook.

Those trousers were really hard! I think Brogan would have gone if Christian hadn't randomly decided to change his made to measure. Although he did also pick an easy fabric I guess.
I really loved the bib blouse that the Welsh lady who looks like Bramble made in the transformation challenge.

Debra! I love her, I want her to style me.
Christian’s dress looked like a cheap fancy dress costume.

They’ve done origami outfits before haven’t they?

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
Me too (except for Brogan’s voice)
Speaking of voices, is it me or does Esme sound a bit croaky/ on the verge of tears?
I have a kimono my dad bought back from a business trip to Japan in 1990

I remember asking about that in the last series, but never got an answer. I wondered whether she hadn't had a little stroke or something.Hazey_Jane wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 9:06 pm Speaking of voices, is it me or does Esme sound a bit croaky/ on the verge of tears?

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I’m only a few minutes behind tonight.
This isn’t playing to Brogan’s strengths at all, no flounces or trimming!
The fabrics are beautiful.

I love sashiko, I’ve done quite a bit of it. If none of them have done it before, they won’t get the thread right.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
Only Man Yee has concentrated on the sashiko. I’m really disappointed with these.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I'm another huge sashiko fan. I wanted to see more of the sample piece that Esme flashed while explaining the concept to Sarah. It looked very intricate.

I think Brogan could be a goner. This is definitely not her style.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I don’t really see the origami element in Brogan’s dress. It’s supposed to be about folding.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
Yes there should be straight lines and there is none in Brogan’s. I hope Debra stays in over her.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I think Man Yee might go. Her pattern challenge wasn't great, and Patrick definitely wasn't impressed with the made-to-measure.

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I loved that!! Esme was determinedly staring at the floor when Sara revealed the decision- I thought it was because she was sad about who was going, but maybe she has no poker face ![grin :))](./images/smilies/xiggrin.gif)

Re: Great British Sewing Bee is back
I've only just caught up and am so pleased. It should be a good final.
