    Did he just blag his way on or does he actually see?
    I haven't sewn in years but I would have thought they all should be able to follow the basic pattern. Assume its first day nerves!

    I know they said they are forgiving but I think they make you look bigger than you are!

    I'd never get a tap of work done in that workshop - I'd spend the day watching boats going up and down the river!

    Rebecca's wasn't very bouffée!



    Fitted down past the hips, thought it was meant to hide a multitude??

    The sewing standard wasn't very good.

    Two or three of them could easily have gone...I'm actually surprised they were chosen to start with.

    I liked serena's top and dress.

    I wouldn't have chosen that dress as garment of the week....though I think it was the colour that really wasn't to my taste.

    The dinner lady and cat lady seem slightly bonkers.

    It looked kind of like they went out and rounded up the first 10 people who'd agree to be on the show, tbh!


    Shockingly low standard, and some right headcases among them (even allowing for the "personalities" they usually select for these shows)


    I can only assume that Covid forced them to lower their standards this year....


    Still, I'd rather have it on than not!!

    The 3 guys raph, maths teacher and cruise entertainer know their stuff, serena too.

    The others are comedy purposes :)

    The young Scottish girl (was she Serena? can't remember her name) is def one to watch, if she can overcome her nerves.

    Very fun first episode.
    Love Joe Lycett and the judges.

    Biggest shock that woman who went is 62?!? Jeepers I would have said 40s!

    It isn't quite my favourite reality show (still pottery throwdown!) But still really enjoyable

    Episode was abit boring I thought.

    I liked the garment of the week, but the top button had me totally perplexed...I liked that neckline but I was questioning should the button be closed, did they make a mistake in measurement. I think I would have left that neckline without the"flap"

    Again I think Serena, cruise guy and raph are the main contenders.

    Sorry but i have to call foul on the garment of the week...the brief was a Unisex childs rain coat.......i dont know if ANY parent could get their little boy to wear a coat with rainbows , unicorns and a pink ponytail....
    The inside-outside one was a clear winner for me..

    No offence to anyone....

    I just thought the ponytail would get soaking and gross, whether on a boy or a girl. Just a bit impractical imo. I loved the one with the clear layer over the fish. It was really cute.

    Andrew's reversible one was the only one that looked like it wasn't horribly misshapen, and even it looked far too tight on the shoulders/upper body..... I thought the fit was awful on them all!
