Who left the Sewing Bee last night?
Lawratu had a nightmare in the made-to-measure challenge as Esme Young and Patrick Grant got the contestants to create a casual utility jacket with a relaxed fit and at least three pockets. And the task went from bad to worse when she struggled to attach the snaps to her design, and viewers watched as she was overcome with emotion as she faced critique.
‘Well, I like the colour,’ Esme said as she assessed the garment. And while Covid restrictions meant Patrick was unable to comfort an upset Lawratu, he said, ‘Sometimes things just don’t go well. Your collar isn’t well attached, you’re missing poppers. It’s just strewn with errors and there’s no more we need to say about it than that.’
He offered a virtual hug, but visibly emotional, Lawratu replied, ‘I know the feelings are there and the empathy.’ she dried her eyes and told the cameras, “It’s just very painful. What was up there wasn’t representative of me and I think that’s why I was upset.”
In a video clip of the best bits of her short time on the show, Lawratu declared, “I love my body the way it is so I make clothes to fit it the way it is.”
Among the judge’s positive remarks of her sewing skills, Patrick Young said, “It’s got all the movement and the grace that we wanted from this dress, it nails the brief.”
“I love the fact that you put pockets in. As you know I love a pocket, as do you,” noted Esme Young.
The self-confessed ‘red wine lover’ Lawratu replied, “Yes ladies must always have pockets”
Speaking about her departure, Lawratu said, “It has been a wonderful experience. The joy that sewing gives me, the pride it gives me, it’s something I will continue to do for a long, long time.”
Lawratu also shared her sorrow for the judges who have to decide who to get rid of week after week, she added, “I actually feel sorry for you judges because I think it must be hard to judge week after week.
The Sewing Bee tweeted, ‘It was a total pleasure having you, Lawratu. We can’t wait to see what you sew next! #SewingBee’
