As The Great British Sewing Bee 2023 returns to BBC1 for a ninth fun-filled series and the sewing room is again abuzz with excitement. There are 12 new amateur stitchers hoping to prove they can work wonders with a needle and thread and show off some wonderfully stitched creations.
Having seamlessly taken over from Joe Lycett for The Great British Sewing Bee 2022, Sara Pascoe returns as host, while judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young are back as judges with some tough tailor-made challenges up their sleeves, including creating garments from ordinary household items and even painted canvases! But it’s not all hard work and no play. It turns out that during filming there was still time for some green room escapades, as well as a karaoke night that left them in stitches!
