I thought the leather coat you chose was such a brave choice and harder than any if the others, you did a great job and without zip gate you would have finished. By the way I loved your colour choices. Hope you organise a meet up in manchester one day, there never seem to be many in the north.

I was very sad when you were knocked out as I thought you'd reach the final. (That zip, oh no!) You did very well; the standard was higher than previously and the challenges tougher. The three in the final all deserved to be there. (I won't say who won in case it's a spoiler for some readers; a well deserved win) I was at Olympia on Saturday, didn't see you, but did see two of the others (Amanda and Neela) I didn't try to hug them, though!

That bodice / neckline (what would you call it?) was brilliant. Did you come up with it completely from scratch or have you ever made something from a pattern that included that part?
