Great British Sewing Bee. Series 3. Week 5 mini blog.

Sew long, farewell: Another double whammy – Elephant loving Paul and burgundy-haired Deborah said goodbye to the other bees.

The Pattern Task:  It was difficult fabric week, but that didn't stop Matt ‘hands too big for pins’ successfully managing the delicacy of a lace skirt.  Deborah adorably squealed at her third place, whilst Neil tried not to frown too hard at coming one from bottom.

The Alteration Task:  Wetsuit haute couture – not even a good idea in theory, for me.  Lorna had the best approach, immediately cutting out two boob holes to create Madonna-inspired breasty weirdness.  Tough times elsewhere - Paul spent too much time on his sleeves, which ended up with an unfortunate stapled-on look, whilst Neil's determination to show the judges he could 'do lace' slightly backfired, when Maytrick decided pink lace and black rubber did not go.

The Sew-stopper Task: Leather jackets.  Paul’s red garish snakeskin leather was my ‘favourite’: heavy metal groupie meets extravagant drag queen boots.

Garment Of The Week: Neil stormed back with his massive necked leather jacket – particularly impressing May with the use of a magnetic button.

Next time: The Final.
