The Great British Sewing Bee

With Joe Lycett hosting, things are hotting up in the sewing room as the 11 remaining sewers return for holiday week. First up, it's the pattern challenge, which this week is a pair of palazzo pants, perfect for keeping cool whilst abroad. They will be asked to insert an invisible zip and pockets, and the judges will have a keen eye on how well they pattern match bold prints. Next, for their transformation challenge, the sewers are asked to turn towels into stylish beach cover-ups.
