The Bee returns for an 8th series, now presented by comedian Sara Pascoe. 12 talented sewers are asked to create a capsule wardrobe consisting of 3 items - a wool mini-skirt, transform loungewear into a going-out top and a wrap dress.
Week 2 is Sports Week and in a first for the Bee the Pattern Challenge asks the sewers to make bespoke footwear - high-top trainers. The sewers transform old netball kits into a garment to wear off the court and they fit a jacket.
For Summer Week, the 10 remaining sewers are challenged to make a smock dress, transform garden hammocks into summer garments and make a two-piece trousered co-ord.
For Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Week the sewers create quilted patchwork jackets, transform old coats into an outfit to go out out in, and use old bedding to make maxi dresses.
Children's Week - the pattern challenge is sailor suits. Then the sewers turn school uniform into an outfit for after school, and finally they make 3D, sculptural Halloween costumes.
Amateur sewers take on challenges as they compete to be named Britain's best home sewer.
