Great British Sewing Bee viewers all say same thing as they point out 'big flaw'

The Great British Sewing Bee viewers all said the same thing as they pointed out a "big flaw".

During Tuesday's (August 5) instalment of the popular BBC reality programme, judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant challenged the sewers with three tasks celebrating Korea's vibrant fashion and textile heritage.

They were accompanied by acclaimed designer Eudon Choi, who assisted in evaluating each Korean-influenced piece.

For the pattern challenge, contestants were required to craft a jeogori - a traditional Korean jacket that's now featured in modern womenswear and K-Pop fashion.

The sewers then had to reimagine taekwondo uniforms and vibrant belts into eye-catching new garments, with Kit securing first place, reports Wales Online.

In the made-to-measure challenge, participants were challenged to design evening attire that drew inspiration from clothing historically worn by Korean military personnel.

Born in the 900s during the Goryeo dynasty, the cheollik started as a military coat built for movement and authority with a flat collar, pleats and ties.

Over centuries, it's evolved from rugged menswear into elegant womenswear.

Contestants were allocated five hours for the task, having been permitted to practice their designs at home.

Following her failure to wow the judges with her garments, Novello was sent home from the contest, whilst Caz claimed the garment of the week accolade.

"It's okay, I expected it," Novello said following her departure.

"Sewing has always been in my life, and this experience has blown it out of the water, really. It's just something that I will remember and treasure always."

However, after watching the episode, many of the show's viewers shared their frustration at the lack of time the sewers get during each challenge.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one person wrote: "I know it's a competition, but can't they give them a little more time? It's nicer to judge finished garments."

Another added: "I know they have to weed out the worst sewers, but give them a bit more time," whilst a third said: "They defo need more time."
