And the winner is: Matt. He of large hands
fame. A surprise winner, but he got steadily better and didn't completely
lose it during the final (yes Neil, am looking at you).
The Pattern Task: Asymmetric Japanese tops, formed
out of one piece of material. Lorna was lost, but rather than leave her
in the lurch in the name of VICTORY, Matt and Neil talked her through it.
Bless. This is why I love Sewing Bee.
The Alteration Task: The challenge was “something
wearable”, so - somewhat inexplicably - Neil made a mini skirt with attached
ankle waders, now known as the #skanklet. WTAF doesn't even begin to cover it.
It has to be seen to be believed, so I urge you to go to the iPlayer
(28 mins in) and take a look for yourselves.
The Sew-stopper Challenge: Avant-garde dresses.
Neil continued his plot-lost run, by making an evening gown inspired by
army fatigues, Afghanistan and silky fabrics. You'd have thought Lorna
would storm this, after her wetsuitboobholes triumph, but it was Matt who timed
his run perfectly, making a weird space age dress in the style of a 1960s
telecoms tower/Christmas decoration.
Til next time!
