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 FABULOUSThe judges are brilliant. I really like Sara but I don't think this show is for her. The jokes don't land.
Agreed - some one to anchor the show and can chat to the contestants so we listen a little about them.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?
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 really like Brogan from last years Sewing Bee and think she’s super talented, BUT I’ve just seen she’s selling handmade Shirred dresses on Etsy for £150! Who on earth is stupid enough to pay that? She’s literally using polycotton that costs around £4 a metre. It’s insane!
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.I really like Brogan from last years Sewing Bee and think she’s super talented, BUT I’ve just seen she’s selling handmade Shirred dresses on Etsy for £150!

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.

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.
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.
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 .
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.Joe Lycett was definitely a better fit for the role than Sara, as he made daft jokes, but with a childlike joy and he seemed really interested and invested in the different garments, challenges, techniques and contestants.
Patrick is indeed very easy on the eye.
Does anyone remember the first ( couple of?) series when May Martin was a judge? I think she was a designer/buyer for Selfridges, but she was pretty dull. I remember she wore a lot of brown dresses or skirts and jacket combos and wasn’t very encouraging or kind in her critiques to the sewers!
Esme, on the other hand, is awesome! I love her outfits that look like a parrot, a peacock and a disco-ball mated, she can be snarky/funny but her critiques are always fair and not worded too harshly.
miss when they did more of how the garments came together, zips and seam and stuff, more interesting.may Martin taught in some fancy uni, she was super superior and didn’t like Patrick getting asked questions over her.

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
