Great British Sewing Bee 2024 Pattern Picks - Finals!

[@carlamccabe9638]

Thank you for doing the Sewing Bee videos, Kate! I always look forward to these, especially since I cannot watch them here in the USA.

[@nommh]

I saw your video in my feed and was so happy, because it made me watch the episode. And now I’m enjoying your video about it.

[@normagoggin2851]

Thanks Kate and Rachel for these weekly vlogs

[@georginagowland6084]

Thank you Kate and Rachel. Love these videos. See you for more Bee roundups next year 🤞

[@TheCreativeCurator]

A great final video Kate. I too gasped when Pascha chose the lace, but my whole neighbourhood must have heard my squeal of delight when they revealed the MTM at the end… DRAPING! And what a stellar job they all did! Really exciting final, I couldn’t have chosen between those final three. 😍

[@alisonpickard-is7oc]

Thank you so much. I love the effort you both put into this. It really adds to The Sewing Bee experience. I did think, this will be a short video, when they were draping the made to measure. But no, you finished it all off beautifully ❤

[@paulawilliams9645]

Thank you. I always look forward to the sewing bee x

[@lindaboby6007]

Great vlog as always Kate, well done you have done a great job ❤❤❤

What an odd way to make gloves! I've made leather ones and the gussets were separate pieces for each finger - fiddly, but much easier. And of course the seams on leather are even tinier. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. Very fun adjunct to the show.

[@sewsisteranna]

Thx again for the Bee pattern picks - have enjoyed every episode. Sad it's all over 😪

[@susanhemion2981]

Thanks for doing this recap of the Bee. I can’t watch in the US so enjoyed it. ❤

[@hellotwinkie]

[@maz9917]

Thank you for all of the episodes. I loved them ❤

[@renejohnson37]

Thanks so much for the series!

[@janicek6399]

Thank you and Rachel and your team❣️

[@sallydingle321]

Thanks for all your hard work Kate and Rachel 👌💖. I couldn't believe how hard that was for them... but they all did amazingly well I thought 👏🙏. Roll on next year 😜🥰😘

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you so much!

[@lizzybedeker8964]

Thank you for this lovely series. Sad we have to wait another year. Maybe you can do an episode about Esme Young her dresses? Greetings from Belgium 🧡

[@TheFoldLine]

I know she has such great dresses doesn't she - we do have a couple of blog posts about her style: thefoldline.com/blogs/great-british-sewing-bee/get-the-look-esme-young?_pos=5&_sid=1c444f6e0&_ss=r thefoldline.com/blogs/great-british-sewing-bee/the-brand-edit-esme-young?_pos=4&_sid=1c444f6e0&_ss=r

[@lizzybedeker8964]

​@@TheFoldLineThank you so much for the inspiration, it is a great article 👍

[@debbiecarter6430]

Thank you. Would have been weird not to round off the series. 😊

[@Nina-rx2eo]

Thanks for the video. Really enjoy them and I know they take such a long time to make! Sad the Bee is over for another year. Moment of the series was surely the 'gay icon/eye candy' comment from Luke's model. 🙂

[@louloureads3953]

I really enjoyed this episode! Although I thought it was a bit mean to suddenly have a completely new method of clothing construction in the final challenge of the final episode - they’ve had draping challenges earlier in the series in other years, which feels a bit more reasonable! And yes, that opera glove challenge looked very difficult - I made a dress once that had a 0.5 seam allowance on a couple of specific pattern pieces round the collar, and that was challenging enough. I can’t imagine doing it with the fingers on a pair of gloves!

[@janerobinson864]

So enjoy your summing up, it prolongs the pleasure of watching the Sewing Bee and thanks for looking for the patterns… really difficult. Etsy have some vintage patterns that give a nod to Pasha’s look, a pleated cowl/shawl top is easy to find both mainly with a plain shift dress skirt or the full 1950’s new look skirt e.g. Lady Marlowe Patterns 8915, Vogue 2134 or Butterick 1980s patterns 5371 & 5897. Also McCalls 1990s patterns 4670 & 6035.

[@laurajones4088]

I was screaming to Pasha to not pick lace, too. I think they all did a fantastic job with their final makes. I had hoped Pasha might win, but Luke’s mtm was outstanding and they were a deserving winner. Thanks, Kate and Rachel for your hard work finding pattern picks!

[@debsmith3263]

Thank you 🐝

[@jenniferewart]

Thanks so much Kate and of course Rachel. I was so stressed out last night watching the show, I nearly died when Pasha chose the lace, even my husband gasped !!!!!! The 10 weeks have simply flown by, I have enjoyed all of the series and your follow up vlogs. What I shall probably do is go back to watching the series again from the beginning on I player . ( How sad is that 😆) ???

[@TheFoldLine]

I think the first viewing doesn't count 😆

[@connycatlady7429]

I loved to watch all episodes . I fall in love with Suzys coat. The one with the very big collar. I think she made it and it's a Vogue pattern. Has anyone an idea ? Thanks a lot. 🌹

[@juliadroy1179]

Yes I was rooting for Pasha I think she had good skills but Luke did very well roll on next year xx

[@JenInOz]

Ibexa makes a glove pattern that's quite similar to the one they used (the gusset isn't as shaped)

[@elizabethbolton-speight8500]

Butterick 4260 for opera gloves?

[@yogaknitdra8953]

I was disappointed for Pascha given her technical skills was strong from the start, but good on Luke for always being so OTT ambitious in his makes, all 3 were deserving and Luke nailed it on the day. I mean who dares to put a zip in a serviette!

[@foxynannabev]

omg I thought this last episode was soooo hard (I’m glad I wasn’t doing it 😂) the 1st challenge I would of picked lace straight away but after seeing her trying to make the gloves I realised that it was a total mistake 😳, then the second challenge to make something out of all the party crap I thought omg what on earth could be made outta that sh*t 😳 I would of found that REALLY hard but Luke’s dress was so good 😁 & the last challenge I thought it was a toss-up between Pasha & Luke both were great & I really liked both but I can see why Luke won 🏆 can’t wait for the next series lol xxx

[@pmclaughlin4111]

Mrs Depew patterns has some patterns for gloves with the finger gusset things and KZbin's Nicole Rudolph has a fascinating videos on gloves

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Yup, I can't watch it either, as I'm in the US. Really stinks. But I loved trying to visualize your descriptions and I have started following GBSB on Instagram, so was able to see snipers of the show.

[@jodikasper7995]

I mean, drafting on a mannequin??? That was a crazy challenge.

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

xXX👍👍👍

[@elizabethanstuff4430]

Thank you so much for your videos! This is the year Sewing Bee jumped the shark for me. I won't be watching in the future. But I'll watch your pattern searches (and other videos too)

[@timfly767]

The line-up and of course the new host are all so box-ticking and contrived, but that's the BBC for ya.

[@thecarjacful]

Thank you for all your hard work. It adds another interesting element to watching the shows. 👍🏻🧵🪡

[@TheFoldLine]

My pleasure!
