Take a look at our sewing pattern suggestions so you can make your own at home. As the sewing bee episodes are announced on BBC One later this year we will be sharing the details here including projects sewn by the contestants and the sewing patterns featured, from independent and commercial pattern companies. In previous series contestants have faced three tasks per episode including a pattern challenge, upcycling challenge and to create their own garment for a theme. In the pattern challenge they all make the same garment, using the same paper pattern. For the upcycling challenge, they must turn an existing item of clothing into something completely new in only 90 minutes. In the final most challenging task, they must create a perfect garment, sewn to fit a model. After changing career three years ago, long-time knitter Tony pulled out his wife’s old sewing machine to create a bag for all his needles and wool. He has since made himself cycling gear and has developed his own wardrobe influenced by 90’s skater fashion. Sara: "Last year I was pregnant during filming, but I can’t blame it on the hormones this time. This series they’re such a tight group, so it was harder than ever to tell them they were going home. In a way I want them to be more competitive, but they’re always so sweet and helpful to each other. I want it to be a bit juicy like Love Island, so I can stir things up!"
