It’s back! The Great British Sewing Bee is the best sewing program on TV. Suspense, tension, excitement, tears and laughs the whole way. Contestants are challenged each week with making several sewing projects, from following a pattern, to refashioning an existing garment, or creating a custom fit garment for their model. All against the clock and in front of the ever-pacing judges!
How do you sew under pressure? Is that when you do your best work – or when it all goes to pieces and everything goes wrong? Check out the great skills from these keen amateur sewers with the TV cameras there to capture every mistake!
Season 4 has just started. If you missed it, or can’t get this where you are, enjoy the full Episode 1 below.
