The Great British Sewing Bee 2025 is here, once again bringing us a new gang of amateur sewers who will compete against one another to impress judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young.
But who will be crowned Britain’s most sensational seamster and who will find themselves stitched up at the last minute?
The series will again see 12 competitor stitchers from across the country take on a series of tough challenges set by the judges each week - and it won't be long until the names of the contestants are announced.
Here's everything you need to know about The Great British Sewing Bee 2025...
The Great British Sewing Bee 2025 release date
We are still waiting for an official release date for The Great British Sewing Bee 2025, but it is thought that the series will return this summer.

How does the The Great British Sewing Bee 2025 work?
Each week, the contestants must take part in three challenges: a Pattern Challenge to test their basic dressmaking skills, a Transformation Challenge to assess their creativity, plus a Made To Measure Challenge to create a bespoke garment.
One contestant's creation is awarded Garment Of The Week by the judges, and another is sent home from the competition.
The grand final sees the remaining three sewers battle it out to be crowned the winner.

Who won The Great British Sewing Bee 2024?
Classically-trained musician Luke was crowned winner of The Great British Sewing Bee 2024. The diversity, equality and inclusion director wowed the judges throughout the series with their bold, stylish designs and clever use of fabrics.
After Esme and Patrick announced Luke as the winner and handed them the gold trophy, they said: “Honestly, this just doesn't feel real. Never did I think I'd get close to the final, let alone win – this is wild! I'm so proud of myself and I don't tend to say that a lot, but I'm really proud of myself."
