The Great British Sewing Bee returns as 12 new sewers tackle shape with tie-front blouses, transform circle skirts, and use pleats in a dramatic Made-to-Measure challenge.
Sara Pascoe returns to the sewing room with 12 new hopefuls for a brand new series of The Great British Sewing Bee.
In week one, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young challenge the sewers to prove their ability to create shape. First up, the Pattern Challenge sees them crafting a tie-front blouse, using gathers to add volume.
Next, in the 90-minute Transformation Challenge, circle skirts are reimagined into brand new garments.
Finally, the Made-to-Measure challenge tests their skills with pleats as they design a perfectly shaped dress.
One sewer will impress and earn Garment of the Week, but for another, it鈥檚 the end of the road as they leave the sewing room for good.
