Sewing Bee 2026

I liked the dress with the red piping .... can't remember whose it was.

Very enjoyable hour. Several very talented people who sew (sewers doesn’t seem nice) with lovely ideas and imagination.
I think the right person went home although I do wish that there were no leavers in week one.
It must take while to settle in and some tasks will suit some more than others.
The garment of the week was very clever, beautifully sewn with lovely colourful, appropriate fabric although personally I loved the harem pants and bikini top the best.
The hat box made from aprons was wonderful.

Obvious frontrunners are Anna, Beth and Emma but as we know from past series the eventual winner can come from the middle of pack as one bad week and you’re gone. Some lovely garments in the pattern challenge and so well fitted. A very promising start.

I really enjoyed tonight's show. Some very talented sewers and I liked Sophie Willan's presenting style.

Got to rewatch as fell fast asleep after the shorts

Good start, not so much of the wacky and weird this year, hope they continue to concentrate a bit more on the sewing skills.

And by the way, I'm not watching the football 😉😉

Some good sewers. And I like the new presenter .... a bit of fun and humour without it being obtrusive.

I thought it was a good first episode.

Can already see two or three really promising sewers.

(This from someone who finds sewing a button on troublesome).

I'm recording, I prefer to watch when on my own, so will have to wait until DH is otherwise occupied 😕

I'm watching!

25minute countdown until new Sewing Bee

I love Sophie Willian’s acting. She’s also very funny.
I think this piece from Almas Not Normal is one of her best performances, and oh so true.

Prefer a good night out rather than watching people see, 🥱🥱

Did you think anyone would be interested in this pointless post 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Shysal I didn't look as far as Wednesday!

The first show is billed in my new TV magazine on Tuesday 14th and also Wednesday 15th, at 8pm, depending on the football. I have set it to record on both days to make sure I catch it.

I think I've sussed it! If no football on BBC One it will be on at 8pm. Otherwise who knows ?!

My Radio Times arrived today. Sewing Bee is listed as starting on Tuesday 14th at 8pm. I can't get my head round the football/no football (it's a World Cup semi-final day) so I am back to 'wait and see'! Looking forward to it whenever it starts!

None of the so called funny people do it for me they are all surplus to requirements the same as the pottery and cooking programmes They just are not needed and are very irritating

So glad you let us know you won’t be watching monami that had been worrying me 🙄

Love the programme but can’t stand SaraPascoe, she just is not funny just very odd and slightly weird.

Love this programme and so glad the very unfunny Sarah Pascoe has gone. I too loved Joe Lycett and Claudia Winkleman.

Another fan of Joe Lycett here. I thought he was warm and amusing with the ability to put the contestants at ease, leaving the ones in the know to critique with honesty.

MayBee70 I agree about the so called comedy. It's so wooden 🤔

Excellent I love the Show.

Also they have someone called Sophie Willian instead of Sara Pascoe, who never made me laugh, to add the humour. To be honest I think the two professionals can host the show on their own. I think my views may vary from others.

someone called Sophie Willian is a BAFTA award winning actress / comedian.
Watch her in Alma’s not normal.

Joe Lycett was the best host. And I preferred the woman who Esme replaced, I can’t remember her name. But I will still watch and learn!

I love the Sewing Bee. Thank goodness no Sara Pascoe this time - unfunny and unnecessary.
