The Great British Sewing Bee

1

Sewing needles at the ready! BBC2’s The Great British Sewing Bee is back for a fifth series after a three-year hiatus — and it’s got a brand-new host who seems tailor made for the show…Here’s everything you need to know about the return of The Great British Sewing Bee. Series five starts on Tuesday 12th February 2019 at 9pm on BBC2 and continues weekly.

What’s The Great British Sewing Bee about? The clue’s in the title — think The Great British Bake Off, but instead of mastering the art of puff pastry, contestants must perfect their sewing skills. In the show, ten talented amateur sewers compete to be named “Britain’s best home sewer”, completing a series of tasks set by the show’s two judges, Patrick Grant and Esme Young.

Taking over the reigns from Strictly’s Claudia Winkleman, comedian Joe Lycett — who hails from the “quite posh” bit of Birmingham — is a panel show regular, appearing on shows like 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and QI.

The judges are Esme Young and Patrick Grant. Esme Young is a senior lecturer on the prestigious fashion course at London’s Central St Martin’s College, and also is a costume designer for films from Trainspotting to Bridget Jones’s Diary (yes, she’s responsible for Renée Zellweger’s bunny outfit). Patrick Grant is Creative Director of Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons and menswear line, E Tautz — he’s also won various awards for his craftsmanship.

The first series of The Great British Sewing Bee started on 2 April and aired for four episodes concluding on 23 April 2013. The series was hosted by Claudia Winkleman and the judges were WI tutor May Martin and Patrick Grant of Savile Row.

A second series The Great British Sewing Bee began airing on 18 February 2014 on BBC Two. The series was filmed at Metropolitan Wharf in London, with Claudia Winkleman as host alongside May Martin and Patrick Grant as the judges.

The third series of The Great British Sewing Bee began airing over 6 weeks from 5 February 2015 on BBC Two. It was once again filmed at Metropolitan Wharf in London, with Claudia Winkleman returning as host alongside resident judges May Martin and Patrick Grant.

The fourth series of The Great British Sewing Bee began airing on 16 May 2016. May Martin was replaced by new judge Esme Young.

The fifth series began on 12 February 2019 on BBC Two. Joe Lycett is the new presenter, taking over from Claudia Winkleman, and Esme Young and Patrick Grant return as judges.

In each episode the contestants get three challenges. The first one is the pattern challenge. The contestants have to sew a garment following a pattern presented to them by Esme. They are free to choose the fabric to work with. The garment has to fit their mannikin.

The second challenge is the transformation challenge. In this challenge the contestants have to alterate existing garments, curtains or even tents, into wearable clothing. This creation is also shown on a mannikin.

Every episode the final challenge has a different theme. The contestants are allowed to practice this pattern at home and they also bring their own chosen fabric. They have to sew their garment for a life model. They have never seen this model before so they have to start by measuring the model and adjust their pattern to the model.

After each challenge the garments will be ranked from best to last. Sometimes the person who is ranked best at the pattern challenge will be the last in the transformation challenge or the other way around. At the end of the episode the garment of the week is chosen and one of the contestants has to leave the competition.
