Sew long, farewell: Lovely Neela. It’s a
tough crowd this year, and Neela just didn’t have speedier sewing skills that
many of the others do.
The Pattern task: ‘Walkaway’ dresses, where
fifties housewives got the pattern in the morning and could ‘walk away’ in the
dress by lunchtime (or so goes the theory – this would NEVER work in the glorious age of Buzzfeed listicles). The boys were much better at walking away in a neatly
sewn dress, with Ryan winning and the rest of the men taking the
top slots. Come on laydeez!
The Alteration task: The sewers transformed fairly
hideous floral curtains into rather amazing ball gowns, skirts, girl’s dresses,
and so on. Ultimately, this was nothing more than an excuse to play
orchestral versions of numbers from The Sound of Music.
The
Sew-stopper task:
Sheer blouses. A nightmare task, all see-through pussy bows and exposed
seams. They looked - let’s be honest – a teeny teeny bit shonky.
Garment Of
The Week: Lorna’s
sheer blouse - less fussy than the others and far neater. Finally Lorna steps out of her always-the-bridesmaid role! She remains one to watch,
though all the boys looked strong this week too (I'm delighted, as I have Neil in the office sweepstake).
Nosey
intrusion into the Bees’ homelife:
Mrs Neil has a cavalier attitude to the ball dresses her husband made
her. One wear, then straight in the bin. Oh, the eighties...
Next week: KILTS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
