The Great British Sewing Bee returns as 12 new sewers get ‘summer ready’ with shorts, transform barbecue aprons into bags, and become models as they make outfits for their perfect summer’s day.

It’s week 2, with sewers tackling prints and colours, including an adaptive pattern-matched shell top, a transformation of purple and brown, and an outfit in just one colour.

It’s week 3 of the sewing bee, and it’s time for Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, with pants, outfits with drama at the back, and made to measures hoping to save the planet.

Week 4 celebrates Mexico with a folkloric top, structural garments made from tablecloths, and outfits inspired by Mexican festivals.

It’s sports week for Week 5, with sewers creating swim shorts, teaming up to transform windsurf sails, and using free motion embroidery on made-to-measure bowling shirts.
