BREAKING NEWS! The Great British Sewing Bee 2016 When It Starts

We are so excited for the new series of the Sewing Bee that we’re very nearly fit to burst! Here’s everything you need to know about series four!

1. Lights, camera, action!

The much anticipated series will air in May, so that gives you a few weeks to cancel your Thursday night plans and stock up your biscuit stash!

2. New face

We welcome new judge, Esme Young to our screens. As a Central Saint Martins graduate and tutor, as well as costume designer for several big name films, Esme will bring a wealth of expertise to the show.

3. Patrick returns

Breathe a sigh of relief. Our much-loved tailor, Patrick Grant will return as judge alongside Esme and host, Claudia Winkleman. We’re very excited about this for obvious reasons. But will it be a beard, a moustache, or perhaps both?
