1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,440
Seven weeks ago, the sewing room opened its doors
2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,480
to ten of the best amateur sewers in Britain.
3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,360
After 147 garments, just three sewers remain.
4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,160
- It's so empty. Oh, it is so empty.
- It is so empty.
5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,120
And now either Charlotte...
6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,080
- This is not good.
- ..Jade...
7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,160
One more, just one more.
8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,080
- ..or Joyce...
- Damn, damn, damn.
9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,960
..is going to be crowned the winner of The Great British Sewing Bee.
10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Feeling ready?
11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,360
No.
12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Charlotte, Joyce and Jade have just three more garments to make before
13
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Esme and Patrick decide who deserves the title of Britain's best amateur sewer.
14
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,240
I was born ready.
15
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,640
I don't know ready for what.
16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Charlotte takes a mathematical approach to her sewing and often
17
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,080
prefers to play it safe, but last week she excelled,
18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,200
winning a complex pattern challenge with a precisely sewn skirt
19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,000
and revealing a real flair for design
20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,440
with her Garment Of The Week-winning alteration.
21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920
The fact that I had a good week in the semifinal has really buoyed me up.
22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,480
I'm just going to do the best I can, and hopefully it will be enough.
23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Right.
24
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,840
With six decades of sewing behind her, Joyce knows every technique in the book.
25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Her taste may be traditional, but her fabric handling, fitting and finishing are hard to beat.
26
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,240
If - big, big if - I won, it would be the cherry on the icing of the cake,
27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,600
and my son-in-law has already got me down to switch on the Hassocks lights if...
28
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,920
- SHE LAUGHS
- It's a tiny little village.
29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,280
This is exciting, guys.
30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,280
At 18, Jade is the youngest ever sewer on the sewing bee.
31
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,520
She may be the least experienced, but she's proved she's a fast learner
32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,920
and showed she has the ability to remain cool under pressure.
33
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,200
I feel like I've worked really hard for this.
34
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,000
I'm just going to get my head down,
35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,360
show the judges why I'm meant to be here.
36
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,360
Guess what. We are in the final.
37
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,560
- CHARLOTTE:
- No, we're not. This is a dream.
38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,080
- Good morning, sewers.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
39
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,920
Will you come and join us, please, finalists?
40
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,400
For the final, they've decided to take it up a notch,
41
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520
and you are dealing with the daddy in the sewing world,
42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,280
and that is exquisite evening wear.
43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,920
- What is their first challenge, Esme?
- Right, here you are.
44
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,560
- What we've given you is a man's dress shirt.
- THEY GASP
45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Wow!
46
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,560
This shirt has rows of perfectly parallel
47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,840
pin tucks down the front, and more than any challenge we've set before,
48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,840
we are only going to be looking at the precision of your sewing.
49
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Girls, are you feeling all right?
50
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,320
- Yes.
- You have 4½ hours for a perfect shirt.
51
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,240
- Your time starts now. JOYCE:
- Thank you.
52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640
Shall we pull it back together?
53
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,640
For the last pattern challenge, the fabric has already been cut.
54
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:31,600
- Bags not pink.
- JOYCE:
- I don't mind pink.
55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
- I want that one.
- JADE:
- I'll have the blue
56
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360
The judges want to focus purely on the finalists' sewing,
57
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320
and expect precision with every stitch.
58
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,080
I'm glad it is just down to the sewing,
59
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,400
because this is the kind of thing that would take four hours to cut out.
60
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,200
This challenge is probably the toughest we've ever set.
61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Every bit of this is difficult.
62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,800
We will be looking at the placement, the precision, the accuracy,
63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240
the straightness, the spacing -
64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760
and that's just on the pin tucks on the front of the shirt.
65
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Also the placket, this is a binding for the cut you make in the sleeve of the shirt
66
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,360
so you can open the cuff.
67
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360
But it's the tricky piece of sewing.
68
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,040
They've got to attach the collar to a collar stand,
69
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,240
it has to then sit correctly all the way round.
70
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,640
These points have to be precisely turned out, no bumps in the corners.
71
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440
There is so much precision in this.
72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,080
And we will pick up on every single error they make.
73
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,920
I had a feeling it would be a shirt or something hard,
74
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,600
so I'm just reading the instructions and really taking in exactly what they are telling me to do.
75
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,200
My approach to this is to follow the pattern to the letter.
76
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,120
Pencil at the ready, tick off when I'm done.
77
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,720
The first step is to sew a set of
78
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,880
six pin tucks on each of the front pieces.
79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,000
Then the button stands are created,
80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520
before the front and back are joined at the yoke.
81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,600
The sleeves are made with their placket openings and inserted.
82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,200
The collar and cuffs are added,
83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,360
and there are seven buttons to attach at the front
84
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,040
and two more at the cuffs.
85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,920
I think the pin tucks is probably the trickiest part of the pattern.
86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Once you've done them, it's just a nice sewing job.
87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Having said that, of course, we've got plackets to put in, as well.
88
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,440
And a collar to put on, so perhaps it's not just an old sewing job.
89
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Joyce left her old job as a school admissions officer in 2012,
90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,320
but since the Sewing Bee started, she hasn't had a spare minute.
91
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Being retired, I think Mum thinks she works hard,
92
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,840
but actually now she's really had to focus and concentrate on the sewing.
93
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:34,160
I think she has been quite tired, but when she gets there,
94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,560
it sort of like reinvigorates her.
95
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,440
How are you feeling about the final?
96
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,080
I'm really excited.
97
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,400
I just love it when I'm there, to be honest.
98
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,760
It's not just me that's proud of her, I know my dad's really proud of her,
99
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,120
my son's really proud of her.
100
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,040
All of the family are proud of her.
101
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,840
- You are the best.
- Oh, darling.
- Even if you don't win.
102
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,000
THEY LAUGH
103
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Such faith in her mother, Harry(!)
104
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Have you made a shirt before?
105
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,240
I've made shirts for my boys when they were youngsters,
106
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,680
but of course it didn't have the precision of this.
107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,600
And I actually made a shirt for my husband once when cheesecloth came into fashion.
108
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,200
- Oh, right, OK.
- He wore it once, so I made him no more.
- SHE LAUGHS
109
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,720
Was it the cheesecloth or your sewing, Joyce?
110
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,720
How could it be my sewing, Patrick?
111
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,440
"Attach your pin tuck foot, and, working from top to bottom, stitch the first tuck.
112
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
"Continue sewing your pin tucks."
113
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Do we have a pin tuck foot?
114
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,720
Oh, we do.
115
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Sewing them free hand would mean
116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,080
spending hours on the pin tucks alone.
117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,840
The pin tuck foot should speed things up.
118
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,480
The pin tuck foot has several ridges,
119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,080
but the ridge in the middle is the one
120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280
that makes the pin tuck you're currently sewing.
121
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:43,160
And then the other ridges are where previous pin tucks sit,
122
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,000
so the new one, it's absolutely parallel to the one you've sewn before.
123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Any wobbliness in those pin tucks is going to be, "Hello!"
124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,200
I need to do 12 pin tucks altogether.
125
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,600
You've got to get your stitching exact.
126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,040
This is petrifying.
127
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,240
I'm going to slow right down.
128
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,920
I'm concentrating on getting this line spot on.
129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,400
- CHARLOTTE:
- I've never sewed anything so slowly in my life.
130
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,600
- Charlotte.
- Hello.
131
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,560
- It's the final.
- Aargh!
132
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
I just like saying it because I really like your reaction.
133
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,480
It's a mixture of excited and terrified.
134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,760
How important is it for the psychology
135
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,800
to do well in the first challenge?
136
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,120
Oh, it's hugely important because it sets you up.
137
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,960
There, that does look nice.
138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Charlotte studied for three years to get her PhD in osteology,
139
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800
but getting to the Sewing Bee final has been much more of a team effort.
140
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,840
The kids, throughout the process, have been so supportive of her,
141
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,240
it's really sweet.
142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,600
- This one will go with the green.
- Do you think?
143
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,920
It has been really nerve-racking to find out if my mum has got through every week.
144
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Every single time that I got a phone call,
145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200
I got really excited and shaky, like,
146
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,480
"Oh, no, what if she doesn't get through?"
147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,680
But I think in my heart I knew she was
148
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000
going to get through because she's amazing at sewing.
149
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Winning it would mean so much to her.
150
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,640
She told me if she won Sewing Bee,
151
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,320
she would be more proud than she was of her PhD.
152
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Just in case there was ever any doubt,
153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,800
I am never making my husband a shirt.
154
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,840
Sorry, honey.
155
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,920
This is ridiculous.
156
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,120
They are all taking an awfully long time doing their pin tucks.
157
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,200
We gave everything cut out, they had to sit down,
158
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,040
read the instructions, put that first piece under the machine and sew.
159
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,040
I understand they want to get this right, this is the final.
160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360
But they've got to crack on, there's so much to do in this challenge.
161
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,720
Yes. It is quite worrying.
162
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,480
Sewers, you've spent an hour already doing...
163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,600
- Nothing.
- You said it, Charlotte.
164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
I've done 3½ pin tucks.
165
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,160
- Yeah.
- How many have you done, Joyce?
166
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,360
One, two, three, four, five.
167
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,720
It is very hard. And they want 12 of them.
168
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,880
I will be glad when this bit's over.
169
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Feel like my eyes are going woozy.
170
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Jadey, how are you finding this?
171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,440
- Awful.
- Have you ever sewn a pin tuck before?
172
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,720
I've never sewn a pin tuck.
173
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Don't worry about the fact you haven't done it, just -
174
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,720
if I can say this in the nicest possible way - smash it.
175
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,840
You sound like my mum.
176
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,320
God, I think you were only about 11 there.
177
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Jade is no stranger to competition.
178
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,920
On course to eventually represent Great Britain as a swimmer,
179
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,840
a knee injury four years ago put an end to her Olympic dreams.
180
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,600
You know, when she got injured, her life was changed dramatically.
181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,600
It was a real shock to the system.
182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,120
And then obviously sewing took over after the swimming.
183
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,440
Jade was always a very strong-willed person -
184
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400
if she put her mind to something, she would always achieve.
185
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Jade is so pleased she's got down to the final,
186
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,440
but she would love to win.
187
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,960
It would be like winning an Olympic gold medal for Jade.
188
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Finished my pin tucks.
189
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,560
I'm never doing any again in my entire life.
190
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:00,160
Next is the button stand.
191
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,640
The button stand is the opening where the buttons and buttonholes will go.
192
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,440
It's created by pressing double folds along the front to reinforce the edges.
193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,240
I'm going to sew up here first and then that gets folded in again
194
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,800
and then you sew up that one.
195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,880
It says to fold over 2.7cm.
196
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Normally, I would eyeball this sort of thing,
197
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,240
but today is just the precision, so I'm measuring it.
198
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Next, the front and back pieces must be joined to a yoke, and every seam
199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,560
finished with impeccable top stitching.
200
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,800
It is very important it's an even distance away
201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,080
from the edge of the seam.
202
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,080
This shirt has an awful lot of top stitching.
203
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,760
Right, I'm going to hang this up and then we're making sleeve plackets.
204
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Never done one before, this is going to be a tough one.
205
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,400
- JOYCE:
- Placket binding, is that what they call placket binding?
206
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,040
This is going to go round the bit that goes to the cuffs
207
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,760
so you can get your arm in, basically.
208
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,840
You have to make a slit.
209
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,920
- Have you done a placket before?
- I wish!
- I'm a bit lost.
210
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,240
This is quite a tricky piece of sewing and on the inside of a placket,
211
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,240
it should have a little triangle here,
212
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,680
and they have to push the excess fabric up between this,
213
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,600
so we don't want to see any raw edges.
214
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,520
I'm not quite sure what to do with you. Just turn you under, I guess.
215
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Pin you down.
216
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,280
If you're no good at origami, you cannot do a shirt placket.
217
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Oh! How did that happen?
218
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,280
- What?
- It looks like it makes sense,
219
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,480
all these little raw edges get tucked inside
220
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040
and then you top-stitch it down and it hides it all.
221
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,080
How have you done it?
222
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680
I just kept fiddling with it, and suddenly it fell into place.
223
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:33,400
I'll have to do it again, though - God knows if it'll work the second time.
224
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,880
Two sleeves, two plackets.
225
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Hello, Joyce. This is the first or the second?
226
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,520
This is the first placket.
227
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,320
OK, so you've still got...
228
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,720
- to make up your cuffs, your collars, put your sleeves in.
- Yep.
229
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,120
You're panicking me, Patrick.
230
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,520
- Do all your buttonholes.
- You're panicking me, Patrick.
231
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,040
- It looks neat, but honestly...
- I need to pull my finger out.
232
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,280
You need to move at about twice the speed you're moving at, you've got a lot to do. Okey dokey. Hustle.
233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,160
# You made my heart go tick-a-tick tock... #
234
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Placket two...
235
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Out the way.
236
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Right, let's... Cuffs, cuffs, cuffs.
237
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,120
- CHARLOTTE:
- A cuff has two pieces, an inside and outside, basically.
238
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,440
You sew all the way round that, clip the curvy bit,
239
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,320
flip it inside out and then you have a cuff.
240
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,000
I'm hoping that if I just remain calm and just keep on trucking,
241
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,240
it will be all right.
242
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,960
The cuffs aren't tricky, really,
243
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,440
you just need to make sure you've got nice angles on them and no puckers
244
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,200
or anything like that.
245
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,400
The difficulty with the cuffs is to make sure that they match on each side.
246
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,160
OK. Sew it on.
247
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,840
Sewers, you have one hour and ten minutes. Will you be all right for time, Joyce?
248
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,800
If I rush, I might, but...
249
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Come on! What do you need me to do?
250
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Shall I make like, galloping noises...?
251
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
No, couldn't you do my collar for me, while I do the buttonholes?
252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,920
Like I know how to make a collar! Look what I'm wearing!
253
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,960
I'm not allowed to have an opinion on clothes.
254
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,160
I'm pinning my collar pieces together and I'm going to sew around the edge.
255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,800
I need to make sure that my collar sits nice and flat on the body,
256
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,520
but has nice pointy corners at the end.
257
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Once they've made the collar itself, they need to make the collar stand,
258
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520
the section of fabric that joins it to the neck.
259
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,840
I'm now attaching my collar stand.
260
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,960
I'm just going to follow the instructions at this point, cos I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.
261
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,200
So that basically goes over like... that.
262
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,840
"Right sides together, pin and stitch the inner collar stand..."
263
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,240
What sort of seam allowance have we got?
264
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,920
Doesn't tell you, so let's use 1cm.
265
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,840
The seam allowance is the distance between the edge of the fabric
266
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,400
and the line of stitching.
267
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,360
The pattern specifies 1cm for the collar itself,
268
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,720
but it's up to the sewers to decide if this applies to the collar stand.
269
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,600
I used a 1cm seam allowance.
270
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,960
Creating too much seam allowance will make the collar too small.
271
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,080
Too little, and the collar will be too big.
272
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Definitely being under pressure makes it harder to remember how to do stuff.
273
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560
Also makes you second-guess yourself in a way that you wouldn't ordinarily.
274
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,640
It doesn't say a seam allowance in the instructions,
275
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,840
- but I've done
- 1½. Charlotte?
- Yep?
276
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,720
It doesn't say one.
277
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880
I know, but I've just done it on one and it fits perfectly.
278
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,560
- But I've done it and trimmed it.
- Oh.
279
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,120
I've sewn the collar stands together with a 1.5cm seam allowance
280
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,920
and now I'm panicking that it won't fit,
281
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,080
but there's nothing I can do about it at this point.
282
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,520
I've already cut it, trimmed it.
283
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,600
Sewers, I have bad news.
284
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,280
You only have half an hour left.
285
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,400
OK, that's the collar on.
286
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600
As Jade and Joyce move on to the final stage...
287
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,280
- Buttonhole.
- ..Charlotte's struggling to fit her collar.
288
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,440
It's not going to work. I can see already, that's not going to work.
289
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200
The collar stand is too small for the shirt.
290
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,720
I did use the wrong seam allowance.
291
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,080
Aargh! This is going to look like crap.
292
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,200
I think the whole issue with the collar has thrown her.
293
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Absolutely. She's panicking a bit, isn't she?
294
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,720
- Slightly, yes.
- It's a shame.
295
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,480
I haven't got the time to fix it, haven't got time to do anything about it.
296
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,920
Everyone else is on buttonholes.
297
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,080
One more. Just one more.
298
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Come on, get out!
299
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,280
This is not good.
300
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Sewers, 15 minutes. CHARLOTTE SIGHS
301
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,240
I'm sorry, Charlotte is angry with me for mentioning the time.
302
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400
You've got to sew your buttons so that they match the buttonholes.
303
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120
There's no point having in your button half an inch up.
304
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,560
It is stressful. If I had another five minutes, I could easily get these on.
305
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880
The rest of it is absolutely fine.
306
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,120
It's just that one bit. That's going to have to do.
307
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Just desperately trying to finish this so I can give it a good press.
308
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,880
And between you and me, my top buttonhole is not brilliant.
309
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,240
I've got nine buttons to sew on.
310
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,520
- JOYCE:
- They're all the same, Charlotte, just get it in the right position and put your foot down.
311
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880
- CHARLOTTE:
- Got it.
- Sewers, you have five minutes left.
312
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,120
I think I can do it. They're not going to be beautiful,
313
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,400
but they're going to be finished. Four done, five to go.
314
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,440
Three buttons left.
315
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,560
They're getting tacked on quick as they can.
316
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,760
I've done my buttons and it's just pressing now.
317
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,480
I don't think I can sew these buttons on fast enough, my hands are shaking.
318
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,880
- Jade, are you OK?
- I've got one button to go.
319
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,320
It's not going to do up. OK, never mind.
320
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,760
- JOYCE:
- A quick press of the collar.
321
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,160
One minute left.
322
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,960
I actually feel like I'm going to be sick.
323
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,080
I've never sewn buttons on so badly in my life.
324
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,960
That top button's not good.
325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,000
Sewers, your time is up.
326
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,520
What a bloody mess.
327
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,000
Very well done, guys. Let's take the mannequins to the front.
328
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,560
# Lipstick on your collar
329
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,760
# Told a tale on you... #
330
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600
Three pin-tuck dress shirts in four-and-a-half hours,
331
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,960
but who's followed their final pattern with the most precision?
332
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Joyce, you're up first.
333
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,560
# ..Bet your bottom dollar You and I are through
334
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,320
# Cos lipstick on your collar told a tale on you. #
335
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Your pin tucks look pretty good.
336
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,080
I'm not sure if this isn't slightly narrower.
337
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Yeah, probably is.
338
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,400
- Yes, it is.
- Yes.
339
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,920
- Smaller this side?
- Mm.
340
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,680
Those points of collar are very sharp, very even.
341
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:23,320
The top stitching is very neat, it's a very nice curve here on the cuff.
342
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,200
When I look inside the placket,
343
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,040
you've sewn it in exactly the right place there.
344
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,280
The one thing that absolutely leaps out...
345
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,600
- Is that.
- ..is this.
346
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,880
You've just got this buttonhole in the wrong place.
347
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,440
To me, it's really pretty much the only flaw.
348
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,480
It's pretty good.
349
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,400
Shall we start with the pin tucks?
350
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,440
This side is definitely narrower.
351
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,240
I mean, we can check that, for sure.
352
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,040
They're noticeably narrower, but they are pretty straight.
353
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,120
- Thank you.
- Now, let's have a look at those cuffs
354
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:01,360
and see how even those are.
355
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,800
How are you that side?
356
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,560
- They're pretty good.
- Yep.
357
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,120
The top stitching on the button stand is very neat.
358
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,120
You obviously rushed putting your buttons on,
359
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:11,480
you didn't check the spacing.
360
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,000
We've got a bit of a gape on these two,
361
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320
but it's a very good shirt in a very short space of time.
362
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,560
- I'll take that.
- Thank you very much.
363
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Um...
364
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,640
- Right.
- OK, Charlotte.
365
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,720
There are a few things that jump out.
366
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,320
- Yes.
- The most obvious one to me is that your collar is too short.
367
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,640
And what that's doing is dragging everything out of shape,
368
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,120
so all of this here is because the collar is too small
369
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,720
and it's dragging everything around the shirt
370
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,080
into a smaller neck hole than it wants to be in to.
371
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560
What you've done is taken too big a seam allowance.
372
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,400
It didn't specify seam allowance.
373
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,800
We specified a centimetre.
374
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,880
- For the collar, but not for the collar stand.
- Hm.
375
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
I mean, if I was sewing a centimetre on the collar,
376
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600
I'd sew a centimetre on the collar stand.
377
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Which is a shame, because the plackets are very neat,
378
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
the cuffs are pretty even.
379
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,480
The top stitching is pretty good.
380
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,880
You have done the pin tucks beautifully neatly.
381
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,440
The other big one...
382
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,920
- I know.
- Your buttonholes are off-centre.
383
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680
- Yes.
- And that was because you rushed them at the end.
384
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,920
- Yeah.
- Yep.
385
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Well done. Thank you, Charlotte.
386
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,360
Now the judges must decide whose dress shirt
387
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,000
was sewn most accurately.
388
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,400
In third place...
389
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,720
is Charlotte. Your sewing was very, very neat,
390
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,720
you just made an error on the collar.
391
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,040
In second place...
392
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,360
..Jade. Beautiful sewing all over this shirt.
393
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:08,600
Just a couple of small errors, but otherwise, very well done indeed.
394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840
- Thank you.
- In first place is Joyce.
395
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,200
Thank you, thank you!
396
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,440
The only thing was the button hole at the top,
397
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,360
but everything else was very beautifully sewn.
398
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,880
- Lovely.
- A very, very well done to all three of you.
399
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,760
We know that was incredibly hard.
400
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,920
Go, relax, gather yourselves.
401
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600
We'll see you back here soon for the alteration challenge.
402
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,840
Off you go. Well done.
403
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:34,400
Thanks, Jadey.
404
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,400
I'm just thrilled.
405
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,360
It's a good start for the final for me.
406
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,880
The number of my husband's shirts I have ironed over the years also helped.
407
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,680
I knew exactly where to put that little row of stitching onto the placket!
408
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Pretty happy with second. It's in the middle.
409
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,400
That's where my mum always said is the best place to be.
410
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,560
You don't want to always be first. You don't always want to be last.
411
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,040
I've had a slight knock, obviously.
412
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,240
I want to do well in the alteration challenge,
413
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,040
I really need to do well in that.
414
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,400
So fingers crossed.
415
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,640
From a dress shirt to another classic item of gentleman's evening wear,
416
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,080
which will test their ability to reimagine clothes for the final time.
417
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,760
Patrick, what would you like our lovely finalists to transform?
418
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,040
- One of these.
- Oh, God!
419
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,520
It's a dinner suit, which we'd like you to transform
420
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,360
- into a little black dress.
- OK.
421
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,880
What we want is something glamorous.
422
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,360
We've got sequins, we've got chiffon, we've got georgette,
423
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,840
so you can use haberdashery and fabrics, but remember,
424
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,520
it's a little black dress.
425
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,160
- Judges, you have to leave now. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
426
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,720
You have 90 minutes.
427
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,960
This is your final chance to blow their minds with an alteration.
428
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,640
Your time starts now.
429
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,440
Right. Let's have a look.
430
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,760
- I don't care which I have.
- I want this one.
431
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,520
You're going to be beautiful.
432
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,160
Come on, dude. He's coming with me.
433
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,880
Don't for one minute think I know what I'm doing.
434
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,040
I'm thinking that I want to use the lapels in some way.
435
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,920
Haven't thought about the skirt bit yet, but the scissors are out.
436
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,560
So, I'm really looking forward to see how they transform this obviously
437
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,960
very classically masculine evening wear outfit into something classically feminine.
438
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040
- There are no big bits of fabric here.
- No.
439
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,040
So they are actually going to have to think about how they use
440
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,840
- the elements of the original pieces.
- The biggest piece are the trousers.
441
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,760
We're looking for something sexy, something well-fitted.
442
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,600
And hopefully, they will do something daring.
443
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,280
You are something of an expert in the field of little black dresses.
444
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,640
Well, I got a little black dress into the V&A.
445
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,560
It's part of their permanent collection,
446
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,200
so I know something about little black dresses.
447
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Was that made from an old man's dinner suit?
448
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,680
Well, no, it wasn't.
449
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,720
That's a bit...
450
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,440
No. Going to do something with this.
451
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,000
What are you making, darling?
452
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Basically going to be like the top of my prom dress,
453
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,080
so I'm going to have it quite up and then round.
454
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,920
Oh! Have you just made your own pattern?
455
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,400
I have just made my own pattern.
456
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920
What are you talking about? In an alteration challenge?!
457
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,240
I know, to get the shape of the top...
458
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,880
- Of the bodice?
- ..I had to draw it.
459
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,920
I have got a little bit of black sequin here.
460
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,960
Got to look classy in your tiny, tiny outfit.
461
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,680
Right. That's the skirt...ish.
462
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560
I want to do a longer one with this.
463
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,480
I want it to show a couple of inches below, like so.
464
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,720
I've worn quite a lot of little black dresses in my time.
465
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,280
And when I was younger, they were very little black dresses,
466
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,560
but as I got older, they got bigger, with me!
467
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,760
SHE LAUGHS
468
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,480
This is already the best dress I've ever seen.
469
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,680
CHARLOTTE LAUGHS It is! Now, your last of alteration.
470
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,600
I know, a bit sad. I've just got the hang of them.
471
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,720
It won Garment Of The Week.
472
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,160
An alteration hasn't won Garment Of The Week this series,
473
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480
so that's major. So what are you doing?
474
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Um, sexy satin...
475
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,880
- Beautiful.
- Bit of sequin.
476
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,080
- Gorgeous.
- Backless.
477
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,680
You'll also be able to undo the halterneck, because it'll be the bowtie.
478
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,640
CLAUDIA GASPS Ring-a-ding-ding!
479
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,720
I might have to let it out a tiny bit, just down the side seam,
480
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,240
then it should fit.
481
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720
It is quite a masculine fabric
482
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,600
and I think that's what's kind of hard about this challenge,
483
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,480
that you have to turn something so masculine
484
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,640
into something quite feminine.
485
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,480
I'm just binding this edge
486
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,920
and then I can attach the sequin to the underside.
487
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,680
I also want to put sequins on the pockets.
488
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,480
I'm not a blingy sort of person, so this is sort of different for me.
489
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,480
The dress is going to stay up, I'm going to put straps on it.
490
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,400
Everyone is really going for it.
491
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,360
I think cos it's the final, you've got to go for it.
492
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:51,360
- Right.
- One hour to go in the final alteration challenge.
493
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,240
Skirt...
494
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040
Be quite nice with the buttons down the front of it.
495
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,000
I'm just sort of making it up as I go along.
496
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840
Right. That is a waistbandy stuff.
497
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Look. Ta-da! You've got the little bit underneath and you've got the bling in the middle.
498
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,320
Just unpicking the inside leg seams,
499
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,800
then I can sew the legs together front and back,
500
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680
and that will make kind of a skirt shape.
501
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,440
I like this ribbon down the side.
502
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,040
Let's sew it on, then we'll think about something for the top.
503
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,240
I'm going to try and make quite a fitted skirt,
504
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,040
a bit like a pencil skirt.
505
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Ooh!
506
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,080
It's a bit indecent, currently.
507
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,400
I think I'll put a bit of sequin in the front there, to echo that bit.
508
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,640
You are halfway through your alteration challenge.
509
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,000
Gosh. I wonder if I could make this into a strapless?
510
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,800
What I'm doing now is I'm going to bind the edges of the skirt,
511
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,160
otherwise, I'll have raw edge, and then sew the sequins underneath.
512
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,840
I just want to do something a little bit more outrageous
513
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,600
and have the darts sticking out.
514
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,160
Usually, they're meant to go on the inside.
515
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040
I actually did this on my GCSE project.
516
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,360
And I thought it looked pretty cool.
517
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:06,520
I don't know what the judges are going to think of them.
518
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,240
Instead of darts in the skirt, it's got pleats in the skirt.
519
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,360
Oh, I've done that the wrong way.
520
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:17,160
I've started sewing the hem the wrong way round.
521
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Come on!
522
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,040
I'm attaching my bodice to my skirt
523
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,960
and then I'm going to put a zip in the centre back.
524
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,520
Second time lucky.
525
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,600
Back of the skirt is going to be done up with a zip,
526
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,120
I just need to figure that out.
527
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:35,880
I just need to sew these pockets...
528
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,520
Done my pleat all wrong again.
529
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,840
Quickly sewing my darts into my dress.
530
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280
I'm loving this, actually. Really enjoying this.
531
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Sewers, you have only ten minutes left on your little black dress.
532
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,240
I've gone for a really long open-ended zip.
533
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,080
Hook and eye. Hook and eye.
534
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,400
The Velcro is going to be a fastening.
535
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,120
I like that zip. Does it go all the way down?
536
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,440
- CLAUDIA GASPS
- Yeah.
- Filth!
537
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,520
I'm just putting on a bar at the top of the skirt,
538
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,960
cos there's quite a big gap -
539
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,320
it's the kind of thing they might appreciate.
540
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,360
Right. Let's go for it.
541
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,920
The straps are on, it's whether they're long enough,
542
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,800
which I don't think they are. I need to make them longer.
543
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,320
That goes there, I bet I've put it on the wrong side.
544
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,000
I have.
545
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,640
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.
546
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,280
- Come on!
- That's one minute left.
547
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,480
We've done it.
548
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,480
Anyone know how to tie a bow tie?
549
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Not very elegant, but it's on.
550
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,200
That's it, time's up, please.
551
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,160
Come on, darling.
552
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,960
There we go.
553
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,640
Very well done.
554
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,960
MUSIC: The Look Of Love by Burt Bacharach
555
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Three little black dresses from three tuxedos in just 90 minutes.
556
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,200
But will the judges be dazzled by their final alterations?
557
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,240
I've got to say, I'm extremely pleased with what I'm looking at.
558
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,560
So we've got an element of the jacket here
559
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,160
and then a piece has been added on the top.
560
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,120
We've got a little dart.
561
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:22,240
I wonder why the dart's on the outside.
562
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,400
I don't mind the dart being on the outside,
563
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,680
but if you're going to do that,
564
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,040
we should have had this dart on the outside. In fact,
565
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,640
we should have had all the darts and seams on the outside.
566
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,160
If you're going to do it, go for it.
567
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,080
Yeah, keep it consistent throughout.
568
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,320
Yes, so it looks like it's meant to be there.
569
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Actually, I quite like this chunky zip in the back.
570
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,800
Overall, I think the shape is very dramatic.
571
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760
I think it looks sort of sexy and fun.
572
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,040
I just am not sure about the darts on the outside.
573
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,640
# Bewitched, bewitched
574
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,480
# You've got me in your spell
575
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,440
# Bewitched, bewitched... #
576
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,920
So we've got a little underskirt that's been added.
577
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,320
The back has been pleated and we've also got pleating at the front.
578
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600
I'm not 100% sure I love the placement
579
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,480
of all of these bits of sequin.
580
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,760
If they'd been black sequins, I think it would've looked chicer.
581
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,440
Does this open all the way...?
582
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Got Velcro on the front, so the whole thing opens up the front.
583
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,000
One thing I'm kind of surprised by is that it's staying up.
584
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Cos it's got no support.
585
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,720
I would've thought when you're disco dancing in this,
586
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,000
it would probably end up round your waist.
587
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Certainly with the vigour with which you disco dance,
588
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,000
I think it's almost a certainty.
589
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,120
MUSIC: Playboy's Theme by Cy Coleman
590
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,600
I like very much how they've used the revere, and look.
591
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,960
SHE LAUGHS
592
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,280
- They've used the bowtie.
- Yep.
- That is fantastic.
593
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,000
And also, look here.
594
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,800
We've got the trouser stripe.
595
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,400
They've inserted a zip and a hook and bar. I like the inserted sequin.
596
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,920
I think it's well-balanced, I think the shape is very nice.
597
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,080
You know, they've bound these fronts with a kind of satin effect.
598
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,880
And the hem. I think it's great.
599
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,600
I do, I think it's great. The proportion of it is really good,
600
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,440
the fit of it is nice - I really like this.
601
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,400
The judges will now rank the alterations for the last time.
602
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:44,360
In third place, it's our strapless sequin number.
603
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,360
It's certainly a lot of fun and I think a very dramatic transformation,
604
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,400
- so very well done.
- Thank you.
605
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,880
In second place...
606
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,640
..is the heart-shaped dress.
607
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,880
It's sexy and a very nice shape round the bust.
608
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,600
- Thank you.
- And in first place,
609
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,880
it is, of course, Charlotte's halterneck sequin number.
610
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,800
- Thank you.
- You're getting good at this at just the right time.
611
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,360
It's an absolutely fantastic transformation.
612
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,880
- Thank you, it was a lot of fun.
- Good.
613
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,480
Well done, Charlotte. After shirt-gate...
614
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Oh, don't!
615
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600
What a brilliant first day, thank you so much.
616
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:30,240
Go home, relax. Tomorrow really is the final challenge.
617
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,640
So, on that note, sleep well.
618
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,200
Sorry.
619
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,240
Bye.
620
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:44,120
It's a huge relief that I came first after this morning's shirt-gate,
621
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,880
very happy about that.
622
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Well done!
623
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,920
'I think it's very close.'
624
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,160
It puts that little bit more pressure onto tomorrow, that's why,
625
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,760
you know, I'm going to go in and just get my head down
626
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,480
and get on with it.
627
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Two of us got a one and a three and the other one got two twos -
628
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560
how to call it? You just don't know, do you?
629
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,800
One more challenge left.
630
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,400
In just a few hours, either Joyce, Charlotte or Jade
631
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,440
will be crowned the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee.
632
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,200
We've had bottom to top, top to bottom and something in the middle.
633
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,280
- Nothing is clarified.
- Nothing is clear at all.
634
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Joyce, technically, she's a very good sewer.
635
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,680
But she has struggled at times with fitting.
636
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Charlotte I think has the most natural affinity with the fine finishing.
637
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,640
And Jade has won Garment of the Week for her made-to-measure
638
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,920
twice out of the last three weeks.
639
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,600
- But what we really don't know is what is going to happen.
- Yeah.
640
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,600
For the last challenge, as ever,
641
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,800
the mannequins make way for real people, but this time,
642
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,760
the models have been hand-picked by the sewers.
643
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,880
- How are you feeling?
- Nervous. Very nervous for them.
644
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,160
It's exciting, though. It's the waiting!
645
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960
They are...Joyce's granddaughter.
646
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,200
Jennifer! Oh, darling girl! Are you all right?
647
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,880
Jade's mum's best friend, Gemma.
648
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Oh, my God!
649
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,240
And stepmum to Charlotte's children, Ruth.
650
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,520
You look gorgeous!
651
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,160
Good morning, sewers.
652
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,920
Good morning lovely models, thank you so much for being here.
653
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,400
This is it, there is one challenge left.
654
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,720
At the end of that,
655
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,240
- somebody will be crowned Britain's best amateur sewer.
- God!
656
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,720
It's happening, Joyce, there's no other way of saying it.
657
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,640
For your made-to-measure, the judges would love you to make
658
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,800
floor-length, exquisite evening gowns using luxury fabrics.
659
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,960
You have six-and-a-half hours.
660
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000
Enormous luck. Your time starts now.
661
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,640
- OK.
- Blimey.
662
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,240
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling confident, I know what I need to do.
663
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,720
I think this is their chance to shine.
664
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,080
It has to have beautiful fit, gorgeous finish.
665
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,480
It needs to have impact.
666
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,000
This is the kind of pinnacle of all dressmaking, really.
667
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,920
- What could go wrong?
- Well, they're using very delicate fabrics,
668
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,440
so they need to handle them with delicacy, they need to press beautifully.
669
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,920
Everything that we've talked about through seven weeks already,
670
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,440
all of that needs to come out in this challenge.
671
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,520
I can't wait to see what they produce.
672
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,560
Neither can I. I'm really excited.
673
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,720
Nothing will be as good as your jacket, Esme. Nothing.
674
00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:41,440
To give them a fighting chance of creating a perfect gown,
675
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,880
the sewers have all pre-cut their fabric pieces
676
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,200
and for once, have been able to practise fitting to their models.
677
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,560
I want to show the judges a well-made garment
678
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,720
that's slightly off-piste.
679
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:56,520
You know, it's not quite what you expect for an evening gown.
680
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,240
Joyce's black and silver two-piece evening gown
681
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:00,840
comprises a pleated bustle skirt
682
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,600
made of a thick silk called dupion,
683
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,280
and a tight-fitting velvet bodice
684
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,800
with a gathered peplum trimmed with lace.
685
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,200
Are you so excited to wear one of your grandma's amazing creations?
686
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,440
Yeah, I have worn her dresses before, but now that I'm older,
687
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,520
I'm getting to wear another one that she's made.
688
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,520
Can I have a look at a picture? Look at that!
689
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Are you nervous about making this?
690
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,440
I need to work flat-out to finish it.
691
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,760
I'm doing the skirt first, get that out of the way,
692
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680
then I can concentrate on the bodice.
693
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,400
How did you choose it? Did you always think,
694
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,360
"Corset, peplum, lace, bustle"?
695
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,920
- Did you just go, "Boof! I know the one!"?
- Yes.
696
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,320
Do you know what I'm also going to get for you? A live horse.
697
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,200
- I think you need to do that catwalk with a shire horse.
- Do you?!
698
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,280
Are you going to make me feel glamorous, Jade?
699
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,520
Ah! That's always my aim.
700
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,440
My dress is a low-cut front dress.
701
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000
It's going to have straps out of that beading
702
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,840
and running down the back from about here, through the straps,
703
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,680
is just going to be a massive panel of beaded fabric.
704
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,640
Jade's beaded train and straps will add a striking feature
705
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,520
to her coral-coloured
706
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,960
silk satin gown,
707
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,760
made up of a close-fitted bodice
708
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,560
and wiggle skirt.
709
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,440
I see we've come to the hardware store.
710
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,440
Pliers, hammers, absolutely everything.
711
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,440
That is, of course, because you're going to have to get rid of some of these beads.
712
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,880
So you're inserting the zip into the beaded...
713
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,120
Into the beaded fabric, yeah.
714
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,440
So it's going to be quite a tough one!
715
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,920
So where are you?
716
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,920
I've put all my bodice together...
717
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,600
- Are you lining this?
- I am going to line this, yeah.
718
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,640
I'm lining it in the same fabric.
719
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,920
I've interfaced it, as well, the bodice,
720
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,320
just so it had a little more structure to it.
721
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,960
Have you ever made anything for Gemma before?
722
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,080
I've never made anything for Gemma before,
723
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,840
but anything would look good on Gemma, even, like, a binbag.
724
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,640
But you're not making us one of those.
725
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,440
- No, I'm not making you a bin bag.
- It doesn't look like a bin bag.
726
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,440
I hope it doesn't at the end!
727
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,440
Hello, Charlotte. Hello, Ruth.
728
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,560
When I said, "Oh, who's Charlotte's model?"
729
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,080
And they said, "Yes, Charlotte's model is her ex-husband's wife,"
730
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,920
I was like, "Fantastic."
731
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,400
I'm never leaving, I'm pulling up a chair,
732
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,080
I'm here for the whole six-and-a-half hours.
733
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,560
Jeremy Kyle is just over there.
734
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,240
No, it's fantastic!
735
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,160
We've got a lie detector test...
736
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,920
No, I'm kidding! It's so lovely, because between the two of you,
737
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,120
you have three people to look after, and they will love it so much
738
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,400
when they go, "My mummy made my stepmummy this amazing dress."
739
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,000
- Yes.
- Where could it all go wrong?
740
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,280
- Just to bring it down.
- Timing.
- Timing.
741
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,880
Because I want to hand-finish everything.
742
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,840
- Do you?
- That I can, yes.
- Holy moley.
743
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Charlotte's purple crepe-back satin gown
744
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,480
has gathered shoulders and a V-neck bodice.
745
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,000
She's attaching a diamante waistband
746
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,520
to give Ruth an extra touch of glamour.
747
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,560
She's an extraordinarily important person in the kids' lives,
748
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,640
she's loving, she's kind, she's brilliant.
749
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,240
It's just really important to me.
750
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:57,480
Ruth's very important.
751
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,840
Sorry!
752
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,880
- It's all true.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
753
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:16,560
Sewers, you have had one hour in your final challenge of the final.
754
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,600
I'm just checking it fits around the front, around her boobs,
755
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,280
which it does. I'm happy with it.
756
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,400
The only fitting I'm going to do on the skirt is the waistband and the
757
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,800
length at the front.
758
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,800
The waist has got to be right.
759
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,720
I'm just putting some gathering stitches in the front of the bodice
760
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:34,840
and those make the gathers under the bust.
761
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,760
So that is the front...
762
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,320
- OK.
- That's comfortable, is it?
- Yep.
763
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,640
- JADE:
- Right, I need to smash these.
764
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,000
If the beads aren't crushed in the seam,
765
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,680
then, it won't lay nice and flat.
766
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,400
Right, hammer time, guys.
767
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,320
Jade, shut up!
768
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,480
- Sorry!
- Shush!
769
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,560
The neckline is going to be a crisp V.
770
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,760
I marked the point that I have to sew to.
771
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,240
You want to be careful when you're working with satin that it doesn't slip about.
772
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,400
Charlotte's fabric looked really beautiful.
773
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,200
It was absolutely lustrous and iridescent, but she has to handle it very...
774
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,680
It's a very delicate fabric.
775
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,400
It's quite a thin fabric, it hasn't got, really, any weight to it.
776
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,720
- Better.
- Look at that.
- No gapey-gapey.
- No gapey-gapey.
- No gapey-gapey.
777
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,920
These are my straps, so they're going to be like that...
778
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,080
It looks like Jade has sussed out how to use the beading.
779
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,640
But it's quite heavy and a train typically has
780
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,760
a sort of lightness and a bounce to it.
781
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,360
You just need to take your time.
782
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,880
If you hit a bead, that needle is going to go flying.
783
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,160
That was a bead.
784
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,720
I'm attaching the lining and the skirt together.
785
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:47,240
This whole thing just is bagged out, so to speak.
786
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,280
Joyce, slightly worried, because she's bagging it out,
787
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,800
that the lining might drop below the outer...
788
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,200
We'll see.
789
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,400
How you getting on, Joyce? Have you done your skirt?
790
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,400
- No, but I'm on...
- Are you on track?
791
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:00,840
I think so.
792
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,720
To form the dramatic bustle for the back of her skirt,
793
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:09,000
Joyce must accurately follow her pattern to create a complex arrangement of pleats.
794
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,480
Oh...
795
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,680
No, that's...
796
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,320
not right. I'm trying to figure out the pleats at the back
797
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,720
and I've forgotten how they go.
798
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:25,000
You need these pleats so that you get a nice shape to the bustle.
799
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,360
Pleat there to there...
800
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,040
No, that's wrong.
801
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,040
Oh, dear me.
802
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,160
This is going to hold me back if I'm not careful.
803
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,120
Sewers, halfway through now.
804
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,600
Halfway through...
805
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,320
and then somebody will win.
806
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,720
I'd hoped I'd be a little bit further on at this point.
807
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,400
I'm sewing my skirt panels together now.
808
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,080
I'm sewing these seams really slowly, because they're going to be really visible.
809
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,960
This is exciting, this part.
810
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,680
This is the huge train at the back of it.
811
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,040
Whilst Jade and Charlotte are making progress,
812
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,000
Joyce is still pleating her skirt.
813
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,800
Still not right.
814
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,160
- Oh, Jesus.
- Joyce is having a bit of a 'mare.
815
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,440
I'm worried that she's given herself too much to do.
816
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,320
The back and front don't match, so I've obviously gone wrong.
817
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,040
To get the waistband on, you've got to have this matching.
818
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,720
I am a tiny bit worried about Joyce.
819
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,160
Six-and-a-half hours sounds like a long time, but believe me, it isn't.
820
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,360
But not everyone is in a hurry.
821
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,000
I'm doing a hand-picked zip.
822
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,760
It means that I'm putting it in by hand using tiny, tiny stitches.
823
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,560
Putting in a zip in this kind of fabric,
824
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,560
it's absolutely important to take the time to do this properly.
825
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,880
The skirt's done, I am now doing the bodice.
826
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,280
I spent too much time making that skirt,
827
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,960
so I'm just going to work flat-out.
828
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:49,000
I am attaching my bodice to my skirt, finally.
829
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,920
So I've got the normal fabric interfacing
830
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,320
and the beading fabric and then, lining to go on it.
831
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,080
But it's looking good.
832
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,040
Right, let's go and sew it together.
833
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,680
I'm just unpicking this tiny bit here,
834
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,200
because it lines up at the top of the waistband,
835
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,000
but not quite at the bottom. It's the kind of thing they'll notice.
836
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,440
Sorry, Jen, I'm just pushing you around, I know.
837
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,000
This needs to really go in.
838
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,840
It fits perfectly.
839
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,120
Apart from the zip, though - damn it.
840
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,720
It's a little bit of a bump on the zip here,
841
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,360
not laying as flat as I'd like.
842
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,240
I'm going to sew this bling on quickly,
843
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,600
then I'll hopefully have time to go back
844
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,360
and do something about that zip.
845
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,680
Sewers, bad news - only one hour to go,
846
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,840
then I'm going to massage your fingers.
847
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,120
The princess seam here is just sticking out a little bit,
848
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,880
so I'm just going to have to give that
849
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,360
a good old press and get it flat
850
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,560
with a nice curve, rather than it trying to push out everywhere.
851
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,000
This is what the judges are looking at, how it fits the model.
852
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,840
I'm attaching the binding around the armholes.
853
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,400
I'm not doing such a good job of this, because of the time factor.
854
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,080
I hate this rush.
855
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,600
I've had a change of plan.
856
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,480
I haven't got time to hand-sew my hem,
857
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,000
so I'm going to do a nice two-stage rolled hem on the machine.
858
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,840
Hopefully, that will give me enough time to redo my zip.
859
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,800
I'm feeling stressed.
860
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,280
- PATRICK WHISPERS:
- I don't think she's made a lovely job
861
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,720
of that zip down the back.
862
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,840
Maybe she can press it away, but at the moment,
863
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,440
it looks a little untidy.
864
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,160
Still doing that weird shape.
865
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,200
I'm a bit worried about Jade.
866
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,600
The shape over the bust is not very nice.
867
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,760
I can't do anything about it now.
868
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,120
I've got the peplum and the eyelet.
869
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,560
It doesn't sound a lot, but I can tell you it jolly well is.
870
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,120
- PATRICK WHISPERS:
- Joyce is behind, and because she's behind,
871
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,640
she's powering through this sewing
872
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,680
- and it just doesn't look like she's taking care.
- She is going fast.
873
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,280
She's going hell for leather.
874
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,080
- JOYCE:
- Right, there's the pleats in after a fashion - not neat,
875
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,200
but who's worried about neat at this stage?
876
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,320
Sewers, you have half an hour left, only half an hour!
877
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,400
I just want to do this as quickly as I can, so I can get back to that zip.
878
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,840
Yeah, there's no way I could have done this in the time
879
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,440
if I was doing it by hand, not a chance.
880
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,000
It's an ENORMOUS amount of hem.
881
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,960
Just checking the hem...
882
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,640
I'll have to sort that out, it looks like it's going up on you.
883
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Come on, come on, get in.
884
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,000
Urgh! I need to do 16 eyelets.
885
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,400
My fingers are bleeding.
886
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,680
- Charlotte? Are we there?
- We are at the "eurgh" stage.
887
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,480
OK, what have you got left to do?
888
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,520
I've got to unpick the zip and redo it.
889
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,600
You're shaking, I can't bear it. Why don't we just sellotape it?
890
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:35,760
Or just get her to hold it.
891
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,560
She's your ex-husband's new wife, it's the least she can do!
892
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,960
- You're right!
- SHE SNIGGERS
893
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,600
Sewers, you have ten minutes left.
894
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,440
Press that to see what it looks like.
895
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,520
It's not made as well as I would like.
896
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:54,600
Hopefully, the overall appearance, though, will be OK.
897
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,600
It's certainly a lot better than it was,
898
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,600
but it's still got a bit of a bump there.
899
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,960
Just pressing my lining down from the bodice.
900
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,840
- Nudge.
- Oh, look, that's not good.
901
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,480
I'll have to do that bit again.
902
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,040
Come on.
903
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,680
Final press. Final garment.
904
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,880
Final nervous breakdown...
905
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,960
in the sewing room.
906
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,960
You have all these wonderful ideas when you start off,
907
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,240
- don't you?
- Just got this tiny section of hand-sewing left to do.
908
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:21,520
I've not done the train hem,
909
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,000
but I think it's quite nice that it shows off all the beads.
910
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,440
- JOYCE SIGHS
- Are you all right, Joyce?
911
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,920
Well, Jade, do you want me to be honest, or do you want me to lie?
912
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,400
- Honest.
- No, I'm not all right.
913
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,800
After all this, I just hope to God it fits.
914
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,800
- Let's put it on, come on.
- Ready?
915
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:41,200
SIGHING
916
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,200
That zip looks much better, but it still doesn't look perfect.
917
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,720
Sewers, that is it, it is over.
918
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,440
(Oh, Jenny, you look beautiful.)
919
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,840
And breathe! Oh!
920
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,960
It's really hot!
921
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,040
It is emotional. I feel like I've done really well,
922
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,800
considering I made that in six-and-half hours.
923
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,160
- I'm such an idiot.
- No, you're not.
924
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,840
For getting so upset. It's only...sewing!
925
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,600
It's because you put your heart and your soul...
926
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,680
- Come on. Stop being silly. Look what you've made.
- Yeah.
927
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,200
One thing about this dress that is absolutely fantastic
928
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,280
is how the fabric moves when she walks. It looks gorgeous.
929
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,120
Thank you.
930
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,280
You've got the proportion of this spot-on.
931
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,040
The depth of the neckline, the position of the band,
932
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,160
is really very good.
933
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,240
I think the fit under the bust is quite well-managed, actually,
934
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:07,400
it doesn't look tight.
935
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,560
The gathers are pretty even. The size of those shoulders -
936
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,840
it's quite a Grecian look, it's delicate and well-done.
937
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,400
Now, can we turn you around?
938
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,760
No!
939
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,960
- What really lets this down is the zip.
- I know.
940
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,360
This is shooting up here and you've over-pressed it.
941
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:24,720
Mmm, in desperation.
942
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,080
You've done the hem by machine neatly, I would say.
943
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,680
The seams are well-handled down the side.
944
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,880
I think it's extremely good, with that one tiny exception.
945
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,000
I think it does look a bit costume-y, I have to say.
946
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,360
- Do you?
- Yes.
947
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,520
It looks like it could be in a film.
948
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,280
You know, I think there's a lot of really good sewing in this.
949
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,520
The fit on the corset is actually pretty good.
950
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,480
The peplum has a good shape to it,
951
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,200
but the gathers are not as even as they should be.
952
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,600
The binding, well, it's a little twisted.
953
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,560
The top stitching is pretty neat.
954
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,200
I mean, this skirt was quite complicated, wasn't it?
955
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,160
I think this bustle works extremely well.
956
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,160
It's got real bounce to it.
957
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,520
- There's a slight problem with the lining on the skirt.
- Yeah.
958
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,800
It's just showing slightly below, isn't it?
959
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,440
Shall we have a look at the waistband?
960
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:36,440
Ah, OK. What's happened here is that you've made this skirt far too big.
961
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,560
- When I take that out...
- I know.
962
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,640
..that is eight inches too big around the waist.
963
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:43,840
- No, I...
- Six inches.
964
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,040
That is three on the double, at least.
965
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,200
You also have to remember, you're lashing her in,
966
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,680
you're making the corset tight,
967
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,560
- so the skirt has to be tight, too.
- Yes.
968
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,240
I think you've delivered a dress with real eye-catching appeal.
969
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,840
I love the beaded fabric.
970
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,320
- Yeah, and I think this great flow from...
- The front to the back.
971
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,280
..the top of the bust all the way over the shoulder is very dramatic.
972
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,440
Obviously, the train is struggling on this carpet.
973
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,040
You backed it here, but you haven't in the train,
974
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,800
so you've just given us a raw edge.
975
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,360
The train on an evening gown needs to be finished in some way,
976
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,440
because, ultimately, this is just going to come apart when it's worn.
977
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,360
Also, quite often with trains,
978
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,120
you put weights in the hem so it keeps behind you as you walk,
979
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,480
so it should have been lined and it would have been great
980
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,080
if there had been a weight in it.
981
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,040
I have a problem with the fit of it.
982
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,720
I don't think it's fitting great on the bust.
983
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:53,560
Can you see how it's been over-pressed?
984
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,440
There's too much fabric there.
985
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,960
- Also, here...
- Yeah, my lining...
986
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,280
..is shooting to the front.
987
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,480
I think there's some other little bits and pieces -
988
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,760
I think there's just too much fullness across this.
989
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,000
I think probably what you've done is the lining is shorter,
990
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,880
so it's causing this to fold over.
991
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,000
But I think the overall look of it -
992
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,120
it fulfils that glamorous evening wear brief spectacularly
993
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,960
and whilst there are flaws in it,
994
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,680
I think the overall impression is very strong.
995
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,000
Jade, thank you so much.
996
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,520
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Gemma.
997
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,760
Huge congratulations, sewers.
998
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,320
Go and have - I don't know - a group hug.
999
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,440
When you come back,
1000
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,360
we announce the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee.
1001
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,880
- Thank you.
- Well done.
1002
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,080
- Right, darling.
- Well done.
1003
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:56,120
Whilst Joyce, Charlotte and Jade await the judges' final decision,
1004
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,120
the sewing room has opened its doors
1005
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,440
to their family and friends and a few familiar faces.
1006
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:04,240
It feels great to be back.
1007
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:08,200
I'm actually really enjoying being back and not worrying about sewing.
1008
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,640
This is the cutest thing ever!
1009
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,360
We had to make them out of ski suits!
1010
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,000
What Jade made in sportswear week is amazing
1011
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,080
and pretty much what I would have liked to have made.
1012
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,200
My gut feeling is Jade is going to win.
1013
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,320
I did say Joyce a couple of weeks ago.
1014
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,240
Having looked at the garments...
1015
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:25,800
..I think my money is on Charlotte.
1016
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,960
Maybe it's just cos I love her, but Charlotte.
1017
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,200
But I honestly think Joyce is in with a really good chance.
1018
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,600
I don't know. I'm glad I've not got the job.
1019
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,520
- There is no absolute clear standout from all of this.
- No.
1020
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,960
- They are so evenly matched, aren't they, don't you think?
- Yeah.
1021
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,920
Let's talk about Joyce's made-to-measure challenge.
1022
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:53,560
For me, it just didn't feel like a modern piece of evening wear.
1023
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Also, something went dramatically wrong with that skirt -
1024
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,360
it was eight inches too big around the waist.
1025
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,760
But you had a few problems with Jade.
1026
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,440
Yes. I like the design,
1027
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,200
I love how this comes from the front and goes to the back.
1028
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,960
That train needed to be finished.
1029
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,120
Let's, then, talk about Charlotte.
1030
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,440
That zip is where the great difficulty lies,
1031
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,280
which takes us all the way right back to the beginning again.
1032
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:24,360
Joyce's shirt was pretty flawless, but there was a problem here.
1033
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,400
Charlotte's had all sorts of problems
1034
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,080
and was rightly in third place.
1035
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,440
Jade was pretty close.
1036
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,680
This was Joyce's alteration, which you didn't seem to love.
1037
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,920
Once you go disco dancing in that, it will be round your waist.
1038
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,120
I thought Charlotte's little black dress was absolutely knockout.
1039
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,320
She showed her imagination.
1040
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,320
Jade, her alteration, I liked it.
1041
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:50,360
I very much liked the shape of the top, a very sexy neckline.
1042
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,400
It sounds like quite a dilemma, then.
1043
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,320
We will leave you to it and then, we'll bring them in
1044
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,840
and announce the winner.
1045
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,440
WHOOPING AND LAUGHTER
1046
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:04,640
Where are my babies?
1047
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:05,760
Yay!
1048
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,440
Ha!
1049
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:08,680
Hello!
1050
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,040
Hi!
1051
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,360
Oh, hi!
1052
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,840
Hi, honey! Oh!
1053
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,440
Come here, you!
1054
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,920
Welcome back, very, very lovely sewers,
1055
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,400
and a huge welcome to friends and family,
1056
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,000
thank you so much for being part of this.
1057
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,560
Finalists, can I ask you to step forward?
1058
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,520
Now, it all comes down to this.
1059
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,480
Enormous luck to all three of you.
1060
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,200
The judges deliberated and they have decided
1061
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,560
that the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee is...
1062
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:16,800
It's Charlotte. WHOOPING AND CHEERING
1063
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:25,320
Oh, Charlotte, well done, darling. Oh!
1064
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,000
Oh, really well done.
1065
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,320
- CHARLOTTE:
- Oh, my God!
- PATRICK:
- Congratulations.
1066
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,240
Esme is going to present you with the trophy.
1067
00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:39,160
- Very well done.
- Thank you so much!
1068
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,480
Well done, Charlotte. Well, well done.
1069
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:43,680
Oh!
1070
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,240
I'd completely written that off!
1071
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:47,840
- Cos of your zip?
- Cos of my zip!
1072
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,000
I know!
1073
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,360
This is amazing.
1074
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,720
It's amazing, it doesn't feel real at all.
1075
00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:01,000
We set some extraordinarily tough challenges this week
1076
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,800
and nobody found it easy, but I think throughout the three,
1077
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,520
and really, I think, particularly in her alteration,
1078
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,320
she showed she has an understanding of clothing,
1079
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:11,800
she has an affinity with fabric,
1080
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,280
she has a lightness of touch and she just understands
1081
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,200
how clothes move on the body, and that was what won it for her.
1082
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,720
I think Charlotte has grown over the course of the sewing bee.
1083
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:23,920
Something has happened -
1084
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,680
it almost feels like something has clicked in her brain
1085
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:33,080
and she's shown us her imagination - her aesthetic has grown.
1086
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,200
In the end, that is what really shone through.
1087
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,160
I'm absolutely honoured to have sewn next to Charlotte.
1088
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,720
I've learnt so much over the past eight weeks than I think,
1089
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:48,680
than I have in the past four years.
1090
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,040
The support from everyone has been amazing.
1091
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,720
I'll never forget this, no.
1092
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:54,600
- You've got loads of time.
- Exactly.
1093
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,280
'I will miss the sewing room.
1094
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:57,760
'Everyone was different,'
1095
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,720
everyone was genuine and we shared all our sewing secrets,
1096
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,160
it was brilliant. Mmm.
1097
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:10,680
No, I'll be going home and going to bed for six weeks.
1098
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,760
I'm exhausted!
1099
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,320
But I do have a quilt that I had to put to one side,
1100
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,200
so I'm going to go back to that.
1101
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,920
- Pinch me!
- It happened!
1102
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,360
If there's anything I've learned in this,
1103
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,840
it's that if there's something you want to do, just do it, try it.
1104
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,960
There's nothing to lose, you can...
1105
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,760
You can get so much out of life,
1106
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,440
so much out of trying things and amazing things can happen.
1107
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,040
Just go for it.
1108
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,080
It's so cute!
1109
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,360
John!
1110
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,200
That is insane!
1111
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:57,920
Don't cry! Don't cry!
1112
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,400
# Don't forget to love me
1113
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,080
# Don't forget to write me
1114
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:12,760
# Miss me just a little while I'm gone
1115
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,920
# Keep the love light burning
1116
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,760
# Pray for my returning
1117
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:33,000
# Miss me just a little while I'm gone
1118
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:39,200
# And when that waiting seems a waste of time
1119
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,680
# And sundown makes you blue
1120
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:48,920
# Dry your eyes and know that I'm
1121
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,960
# Alone and lonesome too
1122
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,920
# Oh-oh, let this moment guide you
1123
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:03,040
# Till I'm home beside you
1124
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:10,040
# Miss me just a little while I'm gone
1125
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:16,160
# And when just waiting seems a waste of time
1126
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,680
# Sundown makes you blue
1127
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:25,880
# Dry your eyes and know that I'm
1128
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,760
# Alone and lonesome too
1129
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:35,160
# Oh-oh, let this moment guide you
1130
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,720
# Till I'm home beside you
1131
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:46,760
# Miss me just a little while I'm gone
1132
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:55,160
# Miss me just a little while I'm gone. #
