So thank you for telling me that -- we don't usually tell this until a couple of days later as some us don't watch until tomorrow but do like to hear discussions without names.

So thank you for telling me that? The thread isn’t waiting for you and the comments aren’t directed at you. Don’t read here until you have watched. Why should we censor ourselves in case you are reading. This is a discussion thread of the programme, there are no rules about revealing results in real time, it’s egotistical to suggest that there should be no discussion until you are ready. The sensible thing is to catch up when you have watched. It’s what I normally do.

Did anyone else get Boots Saturday job vibes from the winning dress? I don't think it was the best one.

Alert…

The ninth series of the sewing competition will be airing on BBC One on Wednesday 24 May 23 at 9pm and will also be available on BBC iPlayer, with a new episode released each week.

Mia cheerfully saying "Oh, I wasn't even born in the 1990s!" has reduced me to a geriatric zombie, shambling towards my grave. Surely the '90s were only three years ago?

Absolutely cracking soundtrack this week though, I was reliving my childhood all the way through.

Just finished watching and in total agreement about Assma’s final dress. I actually ‘wow’d when the reveal happened

Really enjoyed this episode and loved that they went for the Victoriana/Vampire’s Wife style dress for the pattern challenge. I think they all deserved their place in the final but Assma was such a worthy winner and as someone who’s had a mastectomy and knows how life changing that is, I love that she is a breast surgeon and even more that she is looking at designing nice bras for women like me.

erm….I really want Esme‘s outfit

God, Esme is such fun, isn't she? Casually throwing them a dress design of her own creation that's in the V&A, telling Patrick off for being a fuddy-duddy and casually admitting the only way she'd be at a coffee morning was if she was still up from partying the night before.

What a woman. I love her.

I like Asmaa’s personality a lot, I appreciate the fact that while she is living her own life in a more culturally conservative way, she seems totally accepting and supportive of her daughter’s choices. Every time she mentions her daughter she sounds so loving and warm, but without being over-sharing like some people get on these shows. I also like the fact that despite obviously doing very important work in her role as a surgeon, she doesn’t wank on about the NHS and expect lots of praise and deference - despite the bad rep surgeons get, she seems very on the level.

Patrick is on BBC news and said they are having to make the challenges harder as the contestants get better every year.

True but if they're not careful they'll go down the route of bake off where they lose the whole essence of the show by trying to make it too complex and lose viewers.

Such a worthy winner. That final dress was mind blowing. Perfection.

The blue/green dress was just pure genius, never been THIS genuinely impressed with someone on the show before. All that and a medical degree - and all done in red bottom heels. Can you tell I have a massive girl crush?

Ive been stung by Sewing Bee and only gone and got my sewing machine out and made a lovely skirt from a dress that was too tight on top. I feel fanastic

Wow that final dress

That dress! Everything about it was amazing - the transformation, the colours, and it was so beautiful. A very worthy winner

Ah, it was beautiful, wasn't it! She really was in a different league to everyone else the whole run of the show, whatta woman!

I liked Tony's too: it was simpler, but very charming, and like Esme said, he'd come on so much since Week One! And I love that Mia is off to do Costume Design at uni, she was so delightfully creative in the Transformation Challenges that I'm 100% sure she'll be amazing at it!
