Bloody love this show. The absolute antithesis to the usual reality celeb-wannabees being awful for your entertainment, it's just normal, nice people being really good at something.

Big fan. Ms RM keeps nagging me to enter, she has a far too high impression of my skills on a machine.

Esme's book is a good read if that's your thing.

Are the previous series avalable on any streaming service other than the BBC? This is about the only thing I miss not having a TV licence.

MrsF got through a few rounds a few years back - didn't get onto the show though.

Britbox has all the previous series although not sure it's available in the UK (it varies) - you may have to VPN to Australia or Canada instead.

This is a much loved telly programme in our household.
The skills these amateur sewers have is inspiring.
As a professional seamstress myself (mostly sewing straight lines :o) ) I'm in awe.

Good luck to Mrs fossy.

Tony has a selection of homemade mountain bikes.
Surely he's on here!

MrsF had a telephone interview last week - she got this far a few years back, so isn't expecting to get further, but you never know !

All good so far this series. Some great sewing going on & as an added bonus, two out of the three most annoying contestants sent home.
