Who is in the Great British Sewing Bee final?
Contains spoilers for the latest episode of The Great British Sewing Bee.
The three remaining Great British Sewing Bee contestants have a lot to celebrate after landing a place as Sewing Bee 2024 finalists after a seriously challenging semi-final.
Following a particularly tough episode on Wednesday (17 July), it was revealed that Ailsa, Pascha and Luke will be competing for the coveted gold mannequin and the ultimate seal of approval from judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant in the final of the Sewing Bee.
Sadly Suzi was eliminated after a very tough set of tasks in this week's episode, presented by Kiell Smith-Bynoe.
This week saw the semi-finalists take on a set of challenges inspired by three designers who have shaped modern dress making. They had to make a version of the iconic Ballenciaga envelope dress in the Pattern Challenge, followed by transforming a pile of neck ties into a garment in the style of Jean Paul Gautier in the Transformation Challenge.
Finally in the Made to Measure, the sewers had to create an outfit inspired by the work of Coco Chanel.
Pascha had an incredible week, coming top in the Pattern Challenge and winning Garment of the Week with her black silk Chanel-inspired evening dress.
Unfortunately, Suzi was unable to finish the Transformation Challenge and wasn't happy with the final dress she sewed for her Made to Measure. She was the final contestant to be sent home from the competition.
We can't wait to see how the three finalists get on next week, as they battle it out for the coveted trophy. Patrick and Esme will ask them to make a pair of opera gloves in the Pattern Challenge and they must turn party paraphernalia into a full party outfit in the Transformation Challenge.
For the first time ever on the show, in the Made to Measure challenge, the sewers must create a full outfit by draping on their models, without knowing their measurements before they enter the sewing room.
Congratulations to Ailsa, Pascha and Luke!
The final of the Great British Sewing Bee will air on Wednesday 24 July on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
