Summary

Ready, steady, sew! Amateur sewers compete to impress judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young, hoping to be crowned Britain’s most sensational seamster.

Episode 10: Episode 10

Summary

It's sewing machines at the ready as the finalists tackle three challenges in their bid to be crowned this year's winner. They begin by following the pattern for a deceptively simple bias-cut slip dress, where one mistake in cutting the fabric could cost them the chance to continue. In the transformation challenge, they make garments using sheer fabric, before finally tackling the art of trompe l'oeil, creating illusions with fabric to fit their chosen friend or family member. Three finalists, three challenges - but only one will be crowned as the latest champion. Presented by Sara Pascoe

Review

Jane Rackham

You’d never guess from the relaxed atmosphere that this is the final: there are jokes, laughter and hugs throughout. But that’s the heartwarming and cosy Bee for you. We meet the final three’s loved ones, some of whom are acting as models for their stunning made-to-measure trompe l’oeil outfits.

First, though, the contestants must tackle their final pattern challenge, a slinky dress cut on the bias (prepare for a multitude of puns from Patrick Grant and Sara Pascoe, and some eye-rolling from Esme Young) and a revealing transformation challenge.

Whoever wins, it’s been “sew good” .
