Kiell Smith-Bynoe welcomes the 12 sewers to the sewing room as we kick off the tenth series celebrating Sewing turning ten. In the first week, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young task the new sewers with challenges inspired by the very first set in our first series. For their first Pattern Challenge, it's a denim A-line midiskirt.

For the 90-minute Transformation Challenge, rather than altering the neckline of a T-shirt, they have to transform it into a completely new garment.

Finally, in the Made-to-Measure, the sewers meet their models for the first time to make their interpretation of a casual day dress.

Who will impress the judges and win Garment of the Week, and whose hopes of staying in the competition won't last beyond week one?

It's not exactly a holiday for the sewers in Week 3 as Patrick Grant and Esme Young task them with creating garments based around travel.

In the Pattern Challenge, the judges channel holidays as the sewers are challenged to make a summer blouse using old tablecloths. Then they set sail in the Transformation Challenge and make bags using nautical paraphernalia.

In the Made-to-Measure, The Sewing Bee heads to the coast with outfits inspired by the French Riviera. Who will make a fashion faux pas and who will turn heads with some je ne sais quoi?
