The Great British Sewing Bee 2024: Release date, cast and judges
A new season begins!
The Great British Sewing Bee marks its 10th anniversary this year, as 12 new craftspeople enter the sewing room for a truly delightful competition.
To mark its 10th season, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young will include a nod to the very first season with the opening challenge of the run.
The Pattern Challenge will see the sewers create denim A-line midi skirts, followed by turning a T-shirt into a brand new garment in the 90-minute Transformation Challenge.
In the final challenge, the sewers will meet their models and make an interpretation of a casual day dress.
Each sewer will be welcomed into the tent by new host Kiell Smith-Bynoe, but just how will each fare in the competition?

The Great British Sewing Bee judges
Patrick Grant and Esme Young will return as judges of The Great British Sewing Bee.
Speaking of the new season, Grant told Prima: "It's such a fun and jolly show, and the standard has got better and better. But it delivers some really important messages about finding joy in making your own clothes and embracing your style.
"They're all amazing people. They're so proud that they've made these things. Fifteen years ago, there's no way that this show could have existed."
Who won The Great British Sewing Bee 2023?
Asmaa won the competition last year, having beaten Mia and Tony R as they took on Glamour Week.
"I can't really put into words how I am feeling," Asmaa said after her win. "This is not real, this can't be me, it feels amazing.
"Amongst everything I have done in the last 45 years of my life, this has to top it all - not the medical degree, not anything else, this is it!"
