I don't like her and think she is a terrible fit for the show. Hope she's not back next year. Both judges are FABULOUS
Much prefer Sara to joe, neither are a patch on Claudia, all are far far superior to that dreadful woman on throw down, dire
I prefer Sara to both Joe and Claudia, I think she's less attention seeking
I actually really like Sara, Joe was good but sometimes I just found him a bit too much... however for me personally, the presenter is such a small part of it; I'm more invested in the sewers and judges than who is doing the links.
And yes, Patrick Grant is an absolute babe

I enjoyed Joe as a presenter for a bit but then I felt like he took it too far and also got really up himself and unpleasant with politics (outside the show), and that put me off him, so initially I was enjoying Sara instead, but I can see what others mean about her not seeming to be into the sewing part at all. Claudia is less funny but she does seem more genuinely interested (imo).
Why do these programmes need a comedy presenter - Sewing Bee, Bake Off, Pottery Throw Down and all the other rip offs? Why not just a presenter who can do the odd witty comment like Claudia?
Agreed - some one to anchor the show and can chat to the contestants so we listen a little about them.
If we saw less of Sara we might see more of the contestants interacting with each other. They got on very well and I'd like to see more of that. It's less contrived.
Wow. Those shirred dresses take like 4-5 hours to sew, not much more, she’s definitely overcharging. If she made it in Liberty cotton lawn, then maybe that would be almost justifiable.
I have just gone to have a look and she's charging 50 quid for a tote bag
I'm sorry but that is ridiculous.Jeez, I’m all for slow fashion and appreciate the value in it but only if made with quality fabric, otherwise what is the point.
She is very talented but I can't stand her. Little Miss Priss.
The girl who won last year has a very slick Instagram

had to google who won last year genuinely couldn't remember. It look very influencery
It’s madness! I know exactly where you can get those fabrics from and they’re so cheap to buy. Not only that but she has a tutorial on her YouTube on how to make them so you can literally see how long it takes her to make! They’re not unique in the slightest. I could make the same thing for 10% of the cost in a few hours! Same with the tote bags!Wow. Those shirred dresses take like 4-5 hours to sew, not much more, she’s definitely overcharging.

Avoided this thread as I only watched the final yesterday.
Aasma's final dress, impeccable. I had to rewind to rewatch the reveal..even that was perfection (particularly after the other 2 reveals looked clumsy)
Poor Mia, loved her dress though.
Didn't like Tony's acid butterfly print!
Didn't understand/like the transformation challenge. I thought they would use the white shirt and dinner trousers to then transform with scraps
.
I don't dislike Sara but she's not adding anything to the show. Although I'm always mesmerised by her cheekbones and her flawless skin.
Like seeing the updates at end credits what all the contestants have been up to (apart from harness guy, he's just a no personality attention seeker). Whispering woman has found her voice

I love hearing what everyone has ended up doing at the end, just like for Bake-Off. It seems like some great friendships were formed and I love seeing people do well in something they are passionate about.Avoided this thread as I only watched the final yesterday.

Mia’s going to do so well on her course, she’s so creative and talented!
Asmaa’s final dress was just breathtaking, I would love the green dress to be in my wardrobe in my size!
I think doctors do well because they stay calm under the time pressure. As stressful as it must be to sew while being filmed, it can’t be nearly as bad as being in an operating theatre and something going wrong!
may Martin taught in some fancy uni, she was super superior and didn’t like Patrick getting asked questions over her. Prefer Esmeralda as she waits her turn to touch garments and is more fun. Think May was wrong for the show and said when she left it impacted on her teaching schedule andhated the hotel stay and long filming days.
miss when they did more of how the garments came together, zips and seam and stuff, more interesting. Now it’s more personality based.
miss the history of fabrics or clothesbut I love esme and Patrick and the standardof sewers has improved. I couldn’t go on there anymore
They still have the odd historical fashion interlude and Esme and/or Patrick normally tell us a bit about the fabric(s) the sowers have to/should use.

Agree.
But regarding the challenges in general - I do wish they would give them a bit more time. It's getting like on bake off when they expect them to cook a 20 min cake in 15 mins sort of thing.
