    Thank you Alastair for talking about the cost of the cricket whites chopped up and made into unwearable clothes; I was horrified by the waste too.

    Just love listening to all your comments. What a waste with the cricket whites agree with Alistair as usual wholeheartedly. Thank you for your sewing tips which we get for free. Looking forward to next weeks discussion. 👍

    I’m a sewer and can change a pattern a bit but I’m no designer, it’s supposed to be a sewing show, Not a design competition but it’s all about entertainment and setting ppl up to fail, not sure I like it much now seems mean somehow. Love all your comments and agree about the wasteful nature of the recycle challenge…… if you can call it recycling. Rant over lol

  • @suethomas402
    @suethomas402 4 місяці тому

    Yes! The Cricket whites certainly looked like they had plenty of life left in them. And often the garments made in 90 minutes are not wearable.
    This challenge should not be wasteful!
    Don is an excellent sewist. His skirt was made beautifully. I guess he would have needed a simpler skirt so he had enough time to finish.
    Thank you again for taking the time to do these detailed vlogs. 👏

    @eileenseal8245 4 місяці тому

    I prefer listening to you guys and the advice, expertise and product knowledge you have as opposed to the scant attention to the quality of sewing on the show. Is it meant to be about the sewing or the showing (off). Asking for a friend 😂

  • @LizAnnetts-o1l
    @LizAnnetts-o1l 4 місяці тому +1

    I think a three machine pattern challenge is a bit much, sewing machine for the zips, overlocker for the seams and coverstitch for the hems, just time consuming and only week 2

    I agree with the comments on wastefulness, it's uncomfortable viewing for a sewist to see that waste of sports wear that could be used by someone - and was going to be destroyed to be a garment worn by no one.

  • @BernadetteDillon-vo7ky

    @karenlawrence4117 4 місяці тому

    Hi. I find myself agreeing with Alistair about waste in general but regards the new jumpers I think a little differently - it is a once a year entertainment show. The Beeb spend money in far more controversial ways - sending celebrities on amazing international trips is one they repeat.

    Why has the latest series become another poor reality show?

    In my opinion the cricket/recycle challenge is a waste of time/money/effort, no one would ever wear what they made, so much waste. Surely they could come up with a challenge. The transformation challenge has to go, not sewing more design. It’s too wasteful. Rant over! xx

    I think we should stop referring to Don and Janet's ages. No one knows the ages of the other contestants and their efforts aren't compared using that criterion. Judge Don and Janet on their sewing performance only or you're patronising them.
