Great British Sewing Bee viewers issue same complaint as they spot huge format flaw
Great British Sewing Bee viewers issue same complaint as they spot huge format flaw Tuesday's episode of The Great British Sewing Bee was centred around Korean garments. The Great British Sewing Bee viewers issued the same complaint as they spotted a huge format flaw. During Tuesday's (August 5) episode of the hit BBC reality show, judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant set the contestants three challenges that celebrated the rich fashion and textile traditions of Korea. They were also joined by award-winning designer Eudon Choi, who helped them examine each Korean-inspired item. For the pattern challenge, the sewers had to create a jeogori - a historic Korean jacket that's now seen in contemporary womenswear and K-Pop. The contestants then had to transform taekwondo outfits and colourful belts into striking new creations, with Kit coming in first place. Tuesday's episode was inspired by Korean fashion (Image: BBC) In the made-to-measure challenge, the sewers were tasked with designing evening wear inspired by a garment once worn by Korean military officials. 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. The contestants were given five hours for the project, after being able to practice their items at home. After failing to impress the judges with her creations, Novello was eliminated from the competition, while Caz received the garment of the week. 66-year-old sewer Novello was eliminated (Image: BBC) "It's okay, I expected it," Novello said after her exit. "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. Article continues below "I know it's a competition, but can't they give them a little more time? It's nicer to judge finished garments," one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: "I know they have to weed out the worst sewers, but give them a bit more time," while a third said: "They defo need more time." The Great British Sewing Bee is available to stream on BBC iPlayer

Dame: Gorgeous sunlit café in a museum serving hearty brunch with a local twist
Ever walked out of an exhibition feeling strangely exhausted? Gallery visits can be overstimulating at times, which is why museums now make it a point to have 'quiet rooms' for visitors to reset. The folks behind Dame seem to have taken that idea and ran with it, which is why this new café in the National Museum of Singapore is the calm, considered space that it is. Think soft colour tones, natural textures and a warm, unhurried vibe. The menu follows suit – no culinary theatrics here, just comforting brunch faves with a thoughtful local twist. The sun-drenched main dining atrium steals the show, with natural light filtering in through the glass-panelled high ceilings. But if the café gets busy, there's also an adjacent dining area that's just as cosy, with a takeaway coffee stand in the following room. It's easy to pass off the interiors as Scandinavian-inspired, but it turns out the owners of Dame wanted to incorporate subtle Southeast Asian touches in the use of rattan fixtures and dried rice stalks throughout the space. Even the menu is beautifully designed – courtesy of local artist duo Ripple Root. We order the hua tiao chiew clam linguine ($22), the café's take on a classic vongole, amped up with a good douse of Chinese rice wine for added depth and flavour in the broth. The pasta lands just past al dente, not without intention, though. This level of doneness – neither firm nor overly mushy – caters to those who might find true al dente a tad undercooked. It goes the same for the other pasta dishes on the menu, including the black pepper crab linguine ($25), tomato penne ($18) and creamy mushroom carbonara ($20). There are also new additions to the brunch list, like the smoked salmon rosti ($22) and P.P.B. (pulled pork eggs benedict, $19), both served with perfectly done poached eggs. The latter sees smoky, well-seasoned pulled pork with a lemon hollandaise sauce, and it even swaps out the usual sourdough base for fluffy brioche bread (read: no more struggling to cut through sourdough slices that just won't budge). We make a mental note to return for the Teochew porridge platter ($18), served with a medley of condiments like braised pork belly, otah and mustard greens assembled in a bamboo basket. To cater to different diets, Dame also offers two gluten-free options on the menu – the grilled prawn and mango salad ($22) with a chilli coriander lime dressing, and its signature Kerabu bee hoon ($22) with tiger prawns, sakura shrimp and sambal belacan. Vegetarian options are aplenty as well. Meanwhile, there's the constant waft of coffee coming from the charming sage-green coffee bar. The menu covers all the regular espresso-based drinks, made with beans from the local favourite Common Man Coffee Roasters. You'll also find a solid selection of juices and smoothies (from $6.50), house-made coolers like chrysanthemum lemonade and lychee lemongrass ($7.50 each), and teas from the Singaporean heritage brand The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. (from $5). Find out more about Dame here.

Permit Room Portobello
The first London branch of Dishoom's all-day Bombay-inspired cafe sideline can be found in the jazzed-up bones of a grand Victorian boozer on one of the city's most famous streets. Permit Room Portobello comes on the back of branches in Brighton, Oxford and Cambridge, and is, essentially, Dishoom with a side hustle as a Notting Hill creative director. It's still fairly pub-like in demeanor; there's a big long bar and cosy booths, but design-wise it's had the full Dishoom treatment; glossy wood panelling, a smattering of South Asian art, embroidery pieces, parquet flooring and potted palms. There's a slightly formal first-floor dining room – good for dimly lit dinners as well as chai-fuelled weekday co-working – but if you're popping in to hoover up an 8am bacon naan, then the more casual ground floor is where you'll want to be. When it comes to food, the menu is shorter than your standard Dishoom offering, but with dishes exclusive to the Permit Room, such as chilli-cheese naan bites, and fish chapali patties, as well as cinnamon-spiked French toast for brekkie. But what really makes the Permit Room special is the fact that it's home to a stunningly designed two-room apartment upstairs - yes, a Dishoom hotel. It's £700 a night, but could comfortably sleep four, with bouncy beds, a large living area and a view up Portobello Road that seems straight out of a Richard Curtis movie. It feels less like a hotel and more like your stylish auntie's west London bolthole, complete with fridge stocked with Mango lassi and a mini bar full of Dishoom's prebottled cocktails.
