The Great British Sewing Bee is back soon! (SPOILER ALERT)

I love this programme. I can't sew to save my life. A button is a challenge but this programme is fascinating. I love the way they can silk purse out of a sows ear.

I love this too. Sewing is one of my hobbies, with embroidery being my first love. If I was braver I'd apply to go on it.

I love it too although I can’t sew
When does it start ?

Can't wait! It is being trailed on BBC so cannot be too long I guess.

Love this programme. I loved sewing and used to make lots of my own clothes. However, don't do it now, apart from alterations. Although I can sew, there is no way I could cope with the task of designing a garment, I would have no inspiration at all; I marvel at what they conjure up.

So glad it's coming back. I adore the gorgeous Patrick and the chap they have introducing it now is great fun. Hope we have another nice collection of contestants.

Yippee. It's such a good programme so pleased to hear it's coming back.

Hoorah, at last something worth staying in for

Looking forward to it. Just says coming soon. Can’t wait.

Great news. Love this programme. Love to see the creations and the friendship that develops between the contestants

Fabulous programme. Quite inspiring and a great atmosphere. As long as they have Patrick Grant on again

Not quiet sure about Patrick's moustache ?
Ive just finished a pair of trousers. It's been over 40 years since I've made a pair. Aren't invisible zips wonderful.
When I first watched the video of how to insert one, I thought: it can't be that easy, it is ?

I can’t sew, but always wish I could when watching the skill of the sewers on here, glad Claudia was replaced with whoever he is, she was a bit irritating.

It’s a nice, gentle programme, just what’s needed at the moment, could never understand why it was shelved a year or two ago.

7 April so I'm told - hurrah!

For anyone who likes Sewing Bee and has Netflix they might like Next in Fashion which is a competition for professional designers , they have to make a particular outfit each episode eg Red carpet dress then there is a catwalk show at the end, then one is knocked out. Some of the outfits they make are amazing.

Is Sewing Bee similar to Bake Off?
I can't sew, by the way.

Yes, MissAdventure but minus Paul Hollywood, and more gentle and a bit old fashioned, but very pleasant.

So glad this is coming back.
I love to sew, but the challenge, where they have to make something out of a motley selection of old garments, would floor me. No imagination, but they conjure up some amazing outfits.

Oh, it sounds marvellous, thanks calendargirl
Right up my street.

Whoo! Hoo! Can't wait.
My dream would be to be hiding overnight in John Lewis haberdashery! Bought all my fabric for my wedding dress, five bridesmaids dresses' fabric and headdresses and my veil there. Can't get enough of the Sewing Bee.

My 'local' John Lewis back in the day was called 'George Henry Lee's. You could get everything there. All bought in 1976. Xx

Oh goody. Love this programme. Can’t sew for toffee so I do admire the contestants.

When is it on, please?

It starts on 22 April

I can’t sew either but I love this programme. That Joe Lycett is a bit naughty ( but in a good way).
