🪡 Sewing Bee 🪡

I liked both Joe Lycett and Sara.

Oh Joe Lynette was awful cringy Why oh why don’t they read reviews like these we are giving I do think it was much better when it started and the same goes for the pottery one which is now so predicable I could write it for them
Cue to say how wonderful said item is, cue to say best he’s ever seen, cue to cry 🙄
Let’s hope they have some good sewers on there and not just people who drape someone in a towel sewn to a camping tent

I'm glad Keill is back. May be the only one. I find him personable with the contestants and thoroughly professional.

Agree Bluebelle
I couldn’t stand Joe Lycett. Claudia is the ultimate professional.

I loved it at the beginning when you had some really skilled contestants. However, every year we have to have at least two obligatory gay people who can’t sew and to be honest most of the rest don’t have much skill or talent either. The making of clothes out of rubbish is pointless. Are we looking for wacky arty designers or good sewers?
I totally agree that the comedians are irritating as hell. Why can’t we just showcase skilled people?

MickyD I wish they hadn't turned it into a cringeworthy comedy show. Patrick Grant comes over so embarrassingly wooden when delivering his lines. I suppose the sewing community is a small audience so they have to try to appeal to a wider viewer base. I'll still watch it but from behind a cushion!

Yay! I love Sewing Bee. I also like Sara Pascoe 😆

I don’t think I can bear to watch Sara Pascoe. She was actually quite nasty to the contestants, sneering and belittling, the n order to get her “funny” persona to the fore.

I thought Kiel was genuinely interested in them and their creations.

BBC seem to latch into people, and give them slots whether theyre any good or not.

It definitely is Sara Pascoe for 2025 but the Radio Times is still showing a picture of Kiell, with the two judges, that was posted on 2 July 2025 as introduction to Sewing Bee 2025.

It’s back on my birthday 😀
I love it despite finding Esme saying she doesn’t care about the sewing, just the originality (AKA unwearable silliness).

I can’t wait .

It’s not the co-presenters that annoy me, it’s the awful ‘funny’ lines that they’ve been given. They’re so corny and unfunny but I absolutely love the programme.

I ll be watching, but shutting my ears to Sarah Pascoe I don’t dislike her but she’s totally surplus and unnecessary

Other than Claudia, who for me, is the ultimate presenter, they've all been superfluous to requirements.

I found it difficult to watch when it became the

All About Me Me Me - Joe Lycett Show

I ll be watching, but shutting my ears to Sarah Pascoe I don’t dislike her but she’s totally surplus and unnecessary

I’ll be watching. 😀

According to the BBC's official Sewing Bee website, it is Sarah Pascoe - she's also pictured in all the press release photos - see below -

It is going to be Kiell Smith-Bynoe presenting, according to the Radio Times.

Great to hear. Looking forward to this.

Yahooooooo I’m so looking forward to it.

BlueBelle

I think the ‘comedian’ whoever it is totally spoils it for me
They are so unnecessary and irritating

Ditto.

Yippee!

I don’t think they need any ‘comedian’ presenter either

Love the needle and thread symbols. Looking forward to the programme. I especially like the little diagrams showing how the garments in the pattern challenge should be assembled.

Excellent😁

It is going to be Kiell Smith-Bynoe presenting, according to the Radio Times.

Yippee! There is little on TV that I enjoy at the moment.
I too dislike Sarah as presenter, but I shall still watch. I know many will disagree, but I liked Claudia the best.

Oh no. She ruined it.
