THE BEE IS BACK
The Great British Sewing Bee has had a revamp when it comes to the themes, taking a new and interesting turn – and Patrick’s let slip that the challenges this year are the hardest yet.
We couldn't be happier that The Great British Sewing Bee in back on our TV screens (BBC One). From picture-perfect technical sewing, unimaginable transformations, and stunning made-to-measures, we can't wait to see what this year's 12 new contestants bring us. Not to mention how much we've missed Joe's witty commentary and interruptions.
SEWING FOR GOOD
A hot topic for this year’s show is sustainability. “We’ve always taken great pains to point out to people that textile has real value,” explains judge Patrick Grant. “Pieces of clothing ought to have as long a life as they possibly can. If that means they’re worn out but the textile still has life, take that textile and reuse that. That's the most important thing we can all do. Keep our clothes for longer, and when they wear out, don't throw it away, just find a new use for it.”
