The Final of Sewing Bee and the final of Unpicked! Thank you for watching and joining in with the conversation over the last 10 weeks and what has now been 5 years! Ting's got 5 weeks of the school holidays left so is going to put his feet up and I'm off to finish that gingham shirt!
Thanks for all the lovely comments, not just now but all series, I don't set out to be controversial, I just give what I think is the ordinary person in the street's opionion, and clearly I get it right most of the time 😂😂. Massive congratulations to Luke, I shall wear my pearls with pride haha! Have a lovely summer, its time to watch and criticise the Olympics for now 😂😂😂
Thanks for all your input. Loved it here in 🇨🇦. I really think (and I love her), it’s time for Esme to go. Her colour/sparkle/bow bias is over riding sewing skills.
The season was enjoyable overall. I see they made accommodations to appeal to a larger population. As long as they can continue to show sewing on tv, I am interested. Love your commentary on each episode. Thank you both!
Let me be the first to congratulate you both on another successful series of Unpicked, I've honestly enjoyed watching along with you more than the show both last year and this. Big thank you for the mystery fabric bundle as well, mine was super lovely!
What a great final. I was routing for pascha but I think it was pretty obvious that like would win and rightly sew. His work was amazing. See you back here next year xx
The pattern for the glove had a straight cut to separate each finger. There wouldn't have been a way to cut them with a larger seam allowance. I was really happy to see all three do so well in the final. What a challenge to require draping! I do agree with Luke being the winner. He really pulled off his vision. He seems to have a great combination of design ideas, as well as the experience to pull it all off. It seems like he has often sewn something similar, if not as difficult, to whatever the challenge is. He really was relaxed throughout the whole series. He did it to have fun and learn some things, and he did all that, and more.
Really do hope you do it again next year as really enjoy your unpicked videos. I will miss my weekly watch and the anticipation of how many slippers 😉,,Thought that Luke's make was great and he certainly deserved to win . Enjoy your summer Stuart and Ting.
Thank you Stuart and Ting your honest analysis of the program has made it much more enjoyable as I felt it had lost something this year. It didn’t have its usual, dare I say it, impact on me. Looking forward to next year and seeing the finished gingham shirt. Dare you to put an Esme bow on it! 😁
Thankyou for the videos each week - even though I do sometimes disagree with you - I do enjoy your show. I'm very fond of the transformation challenge - I didn't like it when it was first introduced but I have grown to find it fascinating - I think it shows something different about the sewers - it shows how the contestants think and often a bit of technical skill. Have a great holiday and see you next year😎❤
Esme reminds me of the Niffler from Fantastic Beasts that loves shiny things. Frankly I think her judging is more about what she likes and not enough about what the contestants have actually accomplished. Luke was a very worthy winner. Hope the producers do a better job vetting contestants and setting the time for challenges next year. We all want to see completed garments. Stuart has an excellent point, so many unfinished garments made it almost impossible to connect with any of the contestants. Going to miss you guys until next year's bee.
Oh you darling men🎉 I will miss seeing you and hearing your witty, sensitive comments! You are the sewing bee to me. The magic of editing would allow for significantly more time! Its tragic not to see potential due to minutes. I support only 2 content createtors- you far away and Vintage Splendor closer to home. So thank you for the inspiration. Love the pearls.... Hugs Judith
Please, please do come back next year, I love your program almost as much as the sewing bee itself! Would also love to see either or both of you as contestants next year. Have a great year both of you until we meet again next year!
Thank you both for being such wonderful hosts to this channel. I have loved every comment, every rant and every slipper of Unpicked. For the first time ever this series didn’t inspire me to rush off and sew so I don’t actually have anything over ambitious to finish! Oh well, better get started on next years homemade slippers then. See you next year you lovely gentlemen.
Thankyou so much for your thoughts over the past weeks .i was pleased to see these three as finalists BUT I did think draping as a MTM was a bit unfair as it made that basically the whole competition ended up being decided on one particular skill that many home sewers don’t use however on the night Luke was definitely a stand out winner for me
Thank you for another great year! I look forward to your RUclips program since I found you a couple of years ago. I cannot see this show in the USA so I count on you to tell me what happened. 😊 Please come back next year! ❤
We don't get this show in Canada but you make it come alive each week and I can't wait until next year. Thank you for all the work that you put into this.
Thank you both for taking the time and effort to do this series. I watch a couple of other Sewing Bee RUclips analysis/commentary shows?/podcasts? (idk what to call them), and I appreciate the format, visuals, and camera work you have for this and AGU, it's very smooth and polished. Especially the pen! 😂. Appreciate that it takes time to get the screen caps as well, not all channels do this and it really helps us remember outfits.
Thank you so much Stuart and Ting for all your enjoyable Unpicked videos. Well done Luke his makes have been Stunning especially his Black/White drape challenge. I hope they bring Kiel back next year. Yes please do more Unpicked next year. 👍😊🧵
I can’t believe that 10 weeks have gone by so quickly. Have really enjoyed your reviews each week and hope you will do another one next year. Was really glad that Luke won as his final garment was amazing and his model was really runny (Patrick as eye candy!) thanks Stuart and Ting.
Thanks Stuart and Ting for an entertaining 10 weeks. I appreciate all your time and effort into producing these videos. Take care and look forward to seeing you next year. Congratulations to Luke!😊
Thank you so much for coming back week after week. Watching you guys is as much a part of the sewing bee as the show itself. Have a great rest of the summer 😊
Thank you, Stuart and Ting, from your Number One Fan in the United States. I will miss this wonderful program and your thoughtful and incisive comments, and your personalities.
It was eye shadow week, and yet another series triumph for names beginning with a letter in the first half of the alphabet, which now have a whopping 9-1 lead over us hapless second-halfers. But seriously, I agree that Luke clearly earned the win in that final. They were also the sewer we most often saw helping other sewers throughout the series. They were also close to pulling off the triple -- winning all 3 things in an episode. If the opera glove pattern had had a larger seam allowance, there would've been too much space between the fingers. That's not my own observation - I picked it up from the Sew Mama Bear channel's episode review. As for the draping made-to-measure, two names come to mind: Remember Chinelo, the season 2 finalist whose pre-GBSB experience was approximately 0% paper patterns and 100% draping? There was an opportunity to use Shingo Sato's TR cutting technique, if any of the finalists had been that way inclined.
@@annavonbuchenroder5247 Yes indeed! Jen and Juliet were on the TR plan in the semifinal, whilst Leah and Riccardo took different approaches to origami. I think the take-away lesson was to use a well-behaved fabric with only a few TR style lines.
Please come back next year. I look forward to your commentaries and chit chat as much as the show itself. Unpicked is the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae, the alcohol in my G&T. :) Best wishes and thanks for a great 10 weeks.
There is a youtube channel called The Rest is Entertainment with Richard Osman and Marina Hyde and they were talking about Strictly, and how it's gotten more and more difficult and professional level, and they said that every year, the contestants come in more prepared and more competitive because they've watched the show! and can ace what the contestants did in previous years. I was thinking of Sewing Bee while I was listening, and it kind of explained how things got so high pressured and advanced. Although I've got to say I really loved the original Sewing Bee and there's never been a presenter like Claudia, she seemed to really care! And I believed her when she said she'd tried sewing herself because of the show. I liked Ailsa from the beginning and thought she was going to win until, all of a sudden, she seemed to be out of her depth and struggling along. But I liked Luke as well. And Pascha. I would've been fine with whomever won. And I think Luke deserved it. I've watched you guys (Stuart and Ting) for several years now, and I'm a fan. Thank you!
We were listening to a former producer and she said that what it is is they get former contestants to test the patterns and time frame for them. The issue is that some of them have been doing it for 9 years now which means the testers themselves are getting faster while the contestants stay the same.
@@cherbibler3265 I wish I could remember the exact episode but they had her on as a guest on the last season on House of Alistair on youtube. They have all sorts of guests from Janome reps to the show to people who have written the books
Suffering from GBSB withdrawal, I went back to watch the very first episode of the first season. Wow, it was so different! The pattern challenge was an A-skirt. There were skirts produced of all different lengths. Some added pockets and trim. One added a lining. It was all open to imagination, not like 10 seasons in.
Firstly, thank you both for another excellent series which I have enjoyed immensely. Going into the final, I would have been happy for any of the three to win but I’m glad it was Luke as his (their) final garment was stunning. The judges did get it right in the end despite some annoying critiques and decisions throughout the series. Will be interesting to see what shape the programme takes next year.
Were there a few hints that Stuart is going to be a Bee on the next series? I’d love to see Ting working it for you in the final Stuart 😂😂 just don’t take a year to make a shirt 🤣 Thank you both for entertaining us over the course of this series, it definitely wouldn’t be the same without you. I do hope someone from the production team watches this and takes note! Well done to all the finalists, especially Luke 👏👏👏
Ting was completely right about Luke having the best M2M. When I heard it was draping, I assumed it was Luke's to lose. I really did not like Ailsa's garment. Her top just didn't do it for me. I preferred Pascha's even though the skirt was too short, over Ailsa. Luke's garment was just amazing.
I was Team Pascha for a long time, and I did love the final dress, but Luke's outfit was amazing and really well thought out with the juxtaposition of the sharp masculine lines of the white suit jacket softening into the pleats, and then the softness of the black top and skirt. Gloves are hard. (I have a glove pattern saved on my computer and I look at it from time to time wistfully.) Sadly my stomach dropped when I saw Pascha pick the lace fabric, that must have been like trying to sew with cobwebs. I agree with Ting about BBC 2 perhaps being a better place for the show, if it would go back to being more sewing and technique focused. I don't think it would take away from book sales, I think it would be more likely to drive sales tbh. Esma has been clearly driving the show towards a more design led structure for the past few series. But it's still supposed to be a sewing show, and I hope that doesn't change.
Hello, Wow 10 weeks just flew past. Congrats to all 3 finalists and well done to Luke, it was great to watch a final where I could root for all 3 contestants. Even my favourite (not) transformation challenge was watchable. All 3 are worthy winners, and created wonderful final garments that are well out of my sewing abilities. I have plenty of thoughts about this year's show, which I will reserve for a later date, but right now, I agree with you both, we should celebrate the fact that sewing is on prime time telly, and allows these 10 creatives a chance to showcase their wonderful skills and talents. Thank you Stuart and Ting, for me you saved series 10 and made it a celebratory sewing, 10-week long party. Enjoy your holiday Ting and all the best for your lovely gingham shirt Stuart. All the best everyone, see you soon :)

Thank you for ten weeks of doubling the enjoyment we get from the GBSB. Cheers!

Thank you Stuart and Ting, it’s been a fab 10 weeks.
Agree Ting - the drapeing technique wasn't really seen

Love unpicked. See you next year ❤
Thank you so much guys for a great episode and a wonderful series. 🎉
Thank you so much for coming back week after week. Watching you guys is as much a part of the sewing bee as the show itself. Have a great rest of the summer 😊
I keep thinking Edward Scissor hands...
Final was the only episode I actually properly watched...
Found it!
Luke's 3 outfits this week were great! And that dress/jacket final outfit was amazing!
Thank you, Stuart and Ting, from your Number One Fan in the United States. I will miss this wonderful program and your thoughtful and incisive comments, and your personalities.

Angeline Murphy from Series 4 has uploaded an interview on her RUclips channel with Patrick Grant and they discuss Sewing Bee well, worth a watch.
Not sewing but Ch4 has got a knitting competition coming on at the end of the year
I know!! I've seen the promo material. Will be interesting to review too....if I'm not on it! :D
