🚨 OUR FAVOURITE TIME OF YEAR IS NEARLY HERE! 🚨

While everyone else is getting excited about a certain other summer tournament, we know the real joy is seeing what happens when creativity, skill and a well-stocked sewing room come together. 🧵✂️

The Great British Sewing Bee returns for Series 12 on Tuesday 28th July at 9pm!

A brand-new group of talented home sewers will be stepping into the sewing room to take on creative challenges, share their skills and celebrate the joy of making. We’ll also be welcoming new host Sophie Willan, alongside the much-loved judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young.
