Minnie was sent home from The Great British Sewing Bee on Tuesday, August 18, leaving her in tears as judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant joined host Sophie Willan to announce the results.
Emotional Exit
After a series of tense challenges, Sophie said: "Unfortunately, one of you does have to go home, and the person going home this week is Minnie." The Bedfordshire mum was comforted by her fellow sewers as she reflected on her time on the show.
She said: "It's been really, really nice. I think the best part is meeting all the sewers, and I've learnt a lot." She added: "I'm proud of how far I've got, it's been quite the journey. I'm proud and I'm happy, it's a good place to be."
This Week's Challenges
The sewers tackled children's projects, including making a tutu, transforming fleece into a cuddly toy, and designing bespoke superhero costumes for children. Rebecca's final piece was named Garment of the Week.
Rebecca said: "I'm completely shocked, I was not expecting that. I'm going to take from this week that it's not over until it's over. And a bad challenge on day one does not count you out of the race."
Adaptive Fashion
In a previous episode, Rebecca had spoken about creating adaptive clothing for herself due to a health condition. She explained: "Almost everything I make for myself is adaptive. I have chronic stomach pain, so for me, adaptive fashion is making sure there is nothing tight around my stomach."
The Great British Sewing Bee airs Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
