The Great British Sewing Bee

Joe Lycett kicks off ten weeks of the most perplexing patterns, eye-popping transformations and stunning made-to-measure garments yet.

The 11 remaining sewers return for holiday week and are challenged to create palazzo pants, beach cover-ups and colourful shirts.

Joe Lycett welcomes the ten remaining home sewers back to the nation’s most famous sewing room for children’s week.

It's sportswear week, and the sewers must create rugby shirts, waterproof onesies for toddlers and tennis outfits.

The eight remaining sewers return to the sewing room for lingerie and sleepwear week.

For reduce, reuse and recycle week, all the fabric in the haberdashery is replaced with charity shop clothes and soft furnishings.

The six remaining home sewers head back in time to the 1980s, attempting to revive the glamorous - and sometimes ridiculous - style of that decade.

Five sewers do battle in the quarter-final, where they must master techniques and styles from France, Spain and the Philippines.

For their semi-final challenge, the four remaining sewers go to the movies, taking on garments and techniques from the silver screen.

The competition reaches its dramatic denouement as the final three sewers tackle celebration wear challenges and the series winner is crowned.
