I believe because it’s a BBC show there’s a learning remit that has to be met. Or something.

I don’t think these sewers are as strong as other series. Love Joe though. Patrick and Esme are obviously set up as good cop bad cop which is old and unnecessary.

I looooooooooooooove Sewing Bee. Haven't caught up on last nights but hope to later today. Esme and Patrick are great - I love seeing photos of Esme when she was a punk, she's ace.

Nicole really seems to do well in the made to measure parts of the show. Her Spanish style skirt this week was just incredible. Now we're moving towards the final weeks who would you all like to win?

To those of you that sew, do you think some of the time frames are unfair? On Sewing Bee and Bake Off etc when they criticise them because things aren't perfect I think "That's because you rushed them!" I'm sure none of them sit down to sew a blouse and think "Right I'm going to do this in 90 minutes!"

Anyone else find Patrick really annoying? I can’t even work out what it is but he pisses me off without doing anything 😂 also, for a tailor, his trousers never look like they fit right. He dresses so strangely for someone who’s not even 50

I always think.that aswell about his clothes 🙈 obviously just his style. But he is very handsome. Is he married? 😜

Well until this week I thought Nicole was a shoe in. Though now I think it's likely to be Clare (Claire?). I like Matt and I suspect him & Joe Lycett got on like a house on fire, but whilst he started strong he hasn't recovered from a poor few weeks. Liz has grown more confident in her abilities I think, though I don't think she'll win.

I'd love to go to the pub with Matt and Liz. I think they have a dark sense of humour.

Love the GBSB, I’ve watched it since series 1.

I like them all, Liz is short haired northerner with penchant for 90s alternative styles. Love her.

Love love Esme’s style then and now.

Clare went up in my estimation when I saw she was a lung consultant and I loved how proud her mum was of her but agreed, she seemed so cold and rigid throughout the show. I guess that's just her personality. I thought Clare and Nicole were fairly well pitted technically although I think Nicole had more disasters than Clare and she seemed (to me) the more consistantly strong sewer. Matt's dress was my favourite by a mile and and looked incredible on his boyfriend, I loved it.

Regards Patrick, I do actually like him I just can't get my head around the facial hair sitch!

I thought that Clare deserved to win and has all the qualities I would want if God forbid, I needed a lung specialist. I also think that the clips of her mother went a long way to understanding her personality.

Nicole seems really panicked this week. I wonder why... Something's obviously happened they haven't showed us. 🤔

Anyone watching?
Quick question: why has Patrick got stubble AND a moustache? Why not either stubble or the ‘tache? It really bugs me!

😂 so true. He’s a mess! I posted in this thread the other week how he irritates me but I seemed to be in the minority haha

I love this.

Is anyone watching The Big Flower Fight on Netflix?

We are considering it but I'm not sure how invested we will get in giant arrangements. I was hoping it was more flamboyant Elton John style table top arrangements. And Vic Reeves was unexpected lol
We started Too Hot To Handle instead 😂
Is Big Flower Fight worth it?

Yes! Also they don't cut their fabric out with the care because there is no time to fiddle around placing pattern pieces (and they can use as much as they want) so there is a lot of waste.
