Episode 1

The Great British Sewing Bee returns with brand-new host Sophie Willan. Over ten weeks, 12 of the country's best home sewers compete to be crowned winner of the Sewing Bee crown.

In the opening week, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young set three challenges on the theme of the British summer. First up, the Pattern Challenge sees them crafting summer shorts with a patch pocket.

Next, in the 90-minute Transformation Challenge, barbecue aprons become bags.

Finally, there is a Sewing Bee first in the Made-to-Measure challenge as the sewers are asked to create garments to fit themselves. They become their own models as they make outfits for their ideal summer's day, and once complete, the catwalk is all theirs.

One sewer will impress and earn Garment of the Week, but for another, it's the end of the road as they leave the sewing room for good.

Episode 2

It's week 2, and judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young put the 11 remaining sewers through their paces with three challenges themed around prints and colours.

First, the sewers take on the Pattern Challenge, constructing a pattern-matched shell top with adaptive elements, including invisible side-zips and a high-low hem. In the Transformation Challenge, they are given second-hand clothes in purple and brown, the judges' least-favourite colours, and have to create garments that will convince them to change their minds.

Finally, in the Made to Measure, the sewers must create an eye-catching outfit in just one colour.
