The Great British Sewing Bee

Joe Lycett welcomes the ten remaining home sewers back to the nation's most famous sewing room for children's week. The garments might be mini, but they are a mammoth challenge because they are fiddly to sew. To test the sewers' dexterity, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young kick off the pattern challenge with a classic for any little girl's wardrobe, a smocked dress. The task requires the sewers to combine tricky techniques, including making a bias binding and a Peter Pan collar.
