Great British Sewing Bee 2024 Pattern Picks - Week 8

[@elizabethbolton-speight8500]

I actually said to my daughter when we were watching "I wonder how Kate's going to find patterns for these!" Well done!

[@TheFoldLine]

I had to work pretty hard for this one! 😅

[@melaniehodgson4093]

Well done with the pattern picks for this week. This week was one of the most humerous episodes. Patrick, Esme and Kiell were totally on form.

This series has just flown by, well done on the patterns xx

[@TheFoldLine]

It really has... only two more to go! 🥲

[@louiset2079]

Well done Kate. I didn't think there would be any patterns for this weeks made-to-measure.

[@TheFoldLine]

It was a tough one!

[@debbiecarter6430]

Thanks Kate 😊

Ailsa’s coat was more like Simplicity 8482, very fitted with a hood

Alex was dressing Orville Peck. Unfortunately, she missed his signature fringed mask! It was a great but obviously risky choice. He's a great musician worth checking out.

I just had a quick look at Orville Peck videos and I think Alex got him completely wrong. He wears tank tops with jackets. His colours are white, black, tan. And yes, without the mask as identifier no-one would have guessed Peck.

For anyone looking for bodysuits Jalie patterns are a good bet!

[@melaniehodgson4093]

I wish we could have a what the contestants wore part too. Does anyone know if any of the contestants have a youtube channel?

[@lindat905]

Love all your patterns. Just for reference a Canadian tuxedo is a plaid shirt not denim

[@carolinedelisle589]

I don't think so.

[@BOOKKAT74]

No, plaid is the hosers, Bob and Doug McKenzie.

Does anyone know what tunic/ shirt Esme was wearing? I'd love to make one with an adapted collar for a priest's dog collar tab to wear in my day to day ministry. I don't know what that style is called so don't know what to search for!

[@nommh]

Style Arc has somehing like this, the Anais woven dress. It has two-part raglan sleeves though and I suspect that the A-line is a little slimmer than what Esme wore. The collar is a simple, but classic one piece affair. You could also have a look at the Filippa Dress by Fibre mood. It seems to have a two piece collar which may be easier to adapt, but it does not have reguar shirt cuffs.
