On tonight’s Great British sewing bee, amateur sewers test their sewing and dressmaking skills. This week on sewing bee is termed Children’s week.
The Great British Sewing Bee returns for an eight-part series presented by Claudia Winkleman.
Nine amateur sewers return hoping to show judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young that they can make beautiful clothes on a miniature scale.
First, the sewers must carefully follow a pattern to make a babygrow from stretch cotton jersey – but who will get the gusset and poppers in the right place and who will end up going off-piste?
Next, the sewers must show they can handle slippery satin and chiffon by totally transforming an adult bridesmaid dress into a wearable garment for a boy or a girl.
For the final challenge, real children replace the mannequins as the sewers strive to create perfectly fitted woollen capes, knowing the judges will scrutinise every cut and stitch before deciding who deserves to stay and who must bid farewell to the Sewing Bee.
Watch on;
