2025 Sewing Bee episode guide
There will be spoilers!
Episode eight: coming next week...
Episode seven: Art week!
This week it was all about showing off creativity as well as sewing skills as the Bees took on three art-inspired makes.
The first challenge was to create a babydoll dress, inspired by Turner-prize-winning British artist Grayson Perry. The make required plenty of technical skills to create the ballooned sleeves, collar and frill... and so much gathering!
'My god, it’s gathered everywhere'
Caz
Patrick and Esme were paying close attention to detail, with Esme spotting that Orla's side seams weren't lined up and that Stuart had put the skirt on the wrong way round. But it was Yasmin's gathering that really impressed the judges.
Our favourites: We loved Yasmin's choice of colourful fabric featuring illustrations of women – we could just imagine Grayson wearing her dress.
Give gathering a go
Want to see if you've got a gift for gathering and stylish sleeves? Our Alexandra dress sewing pattern on the Gathered shop is the perfect project to try out those skills.
Onto the transformation challenge, where the Bees were given used painted clothes (aprons, overalls, dungarees) and were tasked with turning them into an asymmetric garment. The judges were looking for stand-out designs that really considered the positioning of the paint marks.
Kit fully embraced the challenge of transforming a jumpsuit into a top (with the suggestion that it be worn with a bright green pair of speedo's), whereas Gaynor didn't know where to start and just wanted to run away.
'Dirty clothes? What the devil are we meant to do with these'
Gaynor
Stuart created a nice shoulder detail with some shirt cuffs, but although his design was sophisticated, it just didn't stand out enough for Patrick. For Esme, however, it was Orla's pleated skirt that instantly caught her eye, cleverly positioning the paint markings and using contrast to help enhance the symmetric design.
Our favourites: Caz's diagonal striped pink on khaki green dress.

Last but not least was the Made to Measure challenge – 5 hours to create an outfit inspired by the pop art movement. The judges were looking for designs that were punchy, witty and graphic – hallmarks of the pop art style.
This challenge saw the Bees get ambitious as well as creative – Orla came prepared with some custom printed fabric, Stuart created a complex, structured dress made out of 14 panels which each needed interfacing, and Caz went both big and bold with her Bowie-inspired 2D cutout dress design.
But it was Kit that stole the show with his ambitious and perfectly pop-art design. Kit chose to take the 'fast art' approach of pop art and apply it to his design, making it from crepe paper backed with stitches and bias binding. Despite a heart-stopping, tearing sound (thankfully it was just in the seam allowance), Kit created a stunning design with clear graphic elements that almost 'leapt out of a Lichtenstein'.
Our favourites: Although Caz ran out of time, we were obsessed with her playful quilted dress.
Kit's impressive pop art-inspired design rightfully won garment of the week... let's not mention that bag though! Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to someone, and this week it was Stuart who left the competition.
Big and bold
If all these bright and daring outfits have got you wanting to try something new, the Tulle Top sewing pattern in the Gathered shop will both push your skills and make an impact!
Episode six: Kids week!
Things went mini on this week’s Sewing Bee as it was kids’ week! We think Patrick rather suited that lollypop man outfit…
‘I’ve never sewn for kids but how hard can it be? Everything’s just smaller…’ – Dan
For the first challenge, the seven contestants were tasked with sewing tiny, adaptive dunagrees. The key was to pick super-cute fabric and consider how they could make their dungarees wearable for kids with differing needs.
Victoria Jenkins joined Esme and Patrick to help judge the dungress. She is a pioneer in adaptive fashion, with her designs being featured in Vogue! Victoria creates clothes which have been adapted for different disabilities, making fashion accessible for everyone.
Make mini dunagrees
Stitch your mini-me their own dungarees with Simply Sewing’s adorable dungarees sewing pattern, available in the Gathered Shop.
Our favourites: Orla’s 90s rainbow dungarees and Yasmin’s floral piece.
Next was the Transformation Challenge, where the Bees turned maternity clothing into children's outfits! They had 90 minutes to create comfy play clothes.
There were some very clever garments, and then there were some which were very… dramatic. We loved Orla’s upcycled tights and Yasmin’s skort, but felt a little overwhelmed at Kit’s ruffles and Dan’s trim.
“We don’t all play as rough as you do…” - Patrick
Our favourites: Yasmin’s two-piece and Orla’s giraffe dress.
If kids' week on Sewing Bee has inspired you, make sure you check out our collection of kids' sewing patterns.
We have free sewing patterns, including this sweet dress, toddler jacket and smiley apron.
Finally, it was the Made to Measure challenge. Patrick and Esme asked the sewers to make and fit a fancy dress costume inspired by their childhood dreams. We discovered Patrick wanted to be a vet when he was little, and Esme an actress. Somehow, this information doesn’t surprise us at all!
The mini-models were adorable, and we loved watching the contestants take a trip down memory lane. While Gaynor and Yasmin cruised to the finish line, it was a race against time for the other Bees.
Our favourites: Caz’s dress featuring her mini-models drawings and Orla’s beekeeping costume.
Caz's incredible Zandra Rhodes dress and beret combo won garment of the week, while Dan was sent home for his unfinished ringmaster costume. It was an emotional goodbye.
Sew a kid's costume, ready for playtime!
Inspired by the Made to Measure challenge on this week's Bee, this adorable dragon sewing pattern will quickly become a family favourite.
Episode five: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Welcome to eco-week on the Bee! The theme was 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,' and there were some truly inventive challenges.
"Who will recycle rags into riches and whose sewing room dream will end up in the trash?" – Sara
First up was a no-waste workwear jacket made up from 13 carefully measured pattern pieces. This means no fabric is left behind! The jacket must have four pockets, a collar and buttons down the front.
With just two miniature pattern pieces given by the judges, maths was needed to calculate their workwear jacket patterns. This stumped some of the Bees, and we don’t blame them… maths was never our strong point either.
“When I measure a bodice, I still have to do it in inches!” – Esme
Jess mixed up her front and back piece measurements while Dan was loving the creativity of the challenge. Then it was more maths for buttonhole calculations, proving just how many skills sewing uses!
Kit’s maths degree came in handy and won him the challenge, while Gaynor baffled everyone with 4-inch extra-long sleeves.
Our favourites: Stuart’s cord jacket & Kit’s colourful number
Sew your own workwear jacket
If you loved the zero-waste workwear challenge on the Bee, pick up Simply Sewing's Barn Jacket sewing pattern from the Gathered Shop.
Next up was the transformation challenge. Inspired by the thousands of tents left behind at festivals each year, the Bees were tasked with turning rescued tents into festival wear.
“I went to a spoon carving festival this year!” – Patrick
We loved the use of the tent hardware in this challenge. Tent mesh was turned into pockets, pole holes into top straps, and peg rings into edgy accessories. Dan’s humorous and saucy outfit won this week, and we think it was very well deserved.
Our favourites: Kit’s puffy dress and Dan’s elaborate festival outfit with a cape!
Inspired by upcycling?
If you want to get stuck into your very own transformation challenge like they do on the Bee, then our Guide to Upcycling your Wardrobe is a must-buy!
This ebook is full of modern, upcycling ideas including embroidery, patchwork and more.
On to the Made to Measure challenge! This week was inspired by the wartime Make Do and Mend campaign. Starting in 1942, the campaign was introduced due to clothing rations.
The Bees had to turn family and friends' recycled clothing into something new, bold and beautiful. It was trickier than it looked as Gaynor showed by mixing up her pattern pieces! Esme wasn’t convinced by Jess’s hemming and Dan rushed to finish his outfit, but by the end, each contestant produced a beautiful garment that told a story.
Our favourites: Caz’s recycled jeans jumpsuit and Jess’ special lab coat dress.
Make do and mend your own clothing!
Master the art of mending clothes with our guide! We cover everything from visible mending to darning right here on Gathered.
From pjs to party, the judges loved Dan’s inventive Christmas dress, and it won him garment of the week! Sadly, Jess was sent home this week.

Episode four: Korea week
In just one week, we’ve gone from design icons to the beautiful world of Korean fashion! Week four was all about celebrating South Korea with the incredible guest judge Eudon Choi helping Patrick and Esme with the judging (read all about him here on Gathered).
For the first challenge, Esme and Patrick tasked the Bee’s with sewing a jeogori. Traditionally, the main bodice is made in one fabric with the ties in another contrasting fabric. The contestants had 3.5 hours to create a perfectly pressed jeogori.
“I’m terrified of Esme, she’s everywhere...” –Dan
All the Bees decided to take a contemporary approach, with modern fabrics and designs incorporated into the traditional cheollik structure. Plus, we thoroughly enjoyed Kit’s rendition of Kate Bush. After a frantic finish, nine incredible cheolliks hit the catwalk. How do the contestants make jaw-dropping designs every week?!
Our favourites: Yasmin’s archery-inspired cheollik and Orla’s two-piece interpretation.
With only half an hour left, Novello and Dan struggled with time while Caz sewed her tie in the wrong place… as Patrick said, “We may finally have found a real challenge”. Kit's colourful jeogori clinched the top spot.
Our favourites: Caz’s sporty colour combo and Kit's fun fabric.
It was on to the transformation challenge next, and the contestants were tasked with refashioning a classic taekwondo uniform in just 90 minutes.
“Wow… nothing what I expected!” Eudon
There were K-pop inspired outfits, woven dresses and elaborate designs. The five belts were used in some ingenious ways, but Kit’s design once again stole the judges' hearts.
Our favourites: Dans' K-pop outfit, Yasmin's graphic top and Kits' structured dress.
The final challenge saw the Bee’s creating the infamous cheollik. Traditionally worn by Korean men as a military coat, it has now become a fashion piece popular among women.
“Five hours of absolute mania” – Stuart
After some very difficult judging, Eudon, Esme and Patrick came to a decision. First, for the good news, garment of the week was awarded to Caz’s neon cheollik. Her bravery paid off! Sadly, Novello left the competition this week. We wish her all the best.
Learn the techniques mentioned in episode four:
Episode three: Design icons
Cappuccino, no brown, Biscoff biscuits - we got it, Esme! Design Icons week was all about wrap dresses, transformation challenge anarchy and Versace runway outfits.
For the first challenge, the contestants made Diana Von Furstenberg wrap dresses from jersey fabric. It was all about fine finishes, high elegance and as Esme stated, ‘no wobbles’.
‘It’s more than just a dress, it’s a spirit’ - Diana Von Furstenberg
The Bee spirit was well underway with Dan showing Jess her overlocker mistake, and we love the fun Caz fact of the week: she likes to relax by sewing underwear. By the end of the three and a half hours, there were ten fantastic wrap dresses.
Our favourites: Jesse’s leopard print number & Caz’s bright wrap dress
Sew your own wrap dress
Make your own version of this cult classic dress by picking up the Alice dress sewing pattern from the Gathered Shop.
For the Bees transformation challenge, they were given an array of soft furnishings to give a punk makeover. The tartan and safety pins were flying as they created incredibly rebellious outfits inspired by the punk queen herself, Vivienne Westwood.
Our favourites: Kit's period punk dress, Stuart’s tartan and yellow number & Yasmin’s plum tartan dress.
Going into day three, Caz and Kit were the front-runners after winning the wrap dress and transformation challenge. Now, it was all about Versace, with sexy silhouettes, glamour, and opulence.
‘So you’re doing Dorothy does bondage?’ Patrick
Some riskae outfits were going on in the studio this week, inspired by JLO, Greek mythology, film and more. The ten dresses were something Versace would be proud of.
Our favourites: Yasmin’s bondage-inspired dress & Orla’s butterfly slit dress
Caz’s Kansas-inspired dress stole the glamorous show, winning Garment of the Week. Stuart, Novello & Glendora were in the firing line this week, and sadly, we said goodbye to Glendora.

Episode two: Activewear
Things are speeding up this week as it’s all about activewear! The Bees were sweating under the pressure, knowing two people were to be sent home…
First up, the contestants had three hours to sew a seven-panel cap. Each cap should feature mesh, three rows of top stitching and lots of fiddly panels, leaving no room for error.
‘Let’s go press girls’ – Kit
We fell a bit in love with Stuart’s dog Treacle and Glendora’s cameo on Top of the Pops - how iconic! Mistakes were made, but overall, 12 colourful caps made it in front of Esme and Patrick.
Our favourites: Peter’s funky cap and Dan’s cool cap (especially when worn by Esme).
Make your own practical gym gear!
If you're looking for a simple activewear project to get you started, try Simply Sewing's free yoga mat bag pattern.
For the transformation challenge, the Bee’s were tasked with turning three retro cycling jerseys into a party outfit. There were some flamboyant designs, and we loved Peter, including a pocket for a phone – we're big fans of pockets!!
It was Kit’s inventive design that won the judges' hearts, though, giving him a two-challenge winning streak.
Our favourites: Orla’s strapless dress and Novello’s yellow fringed dress.
‘That’s some first rate recycling’ – Patrick
This week’s Made to Measure challenge was athleisure wear. Outfits to wear from gym class to the coffee shop. The first job for the Bee’s was to fit their practised designs to their models, then it was on to the sewing.
Free pattern alert!
These leggings will take you from the gym to the coffee shop! Use Simply Sewing's free leggings sewing pattern here on Gathered.
A few of the contestants challenged themselves to create three-piece outfits, and Saffie gave herself a massive task by designing a complex utility vest. Glendora’s hatred of the jogging bottom made us giggle even though we’re partial to them ourselves. We love Jess’ Princess Diana-inspired idea too.
Peter’s relaxed approach didn’t convince Esme, and we were all a bit shocked when Yasmin told us she was a hooker… in rugby, of course.
Our favourites: Caz’s Kung-Fu inspired three-piece, Stuart’s Wimbledon set & Orla’s influencer-inspired outfit.
Stitch your own athleisure wear hoodie
Pick up Simply Sewing's Bailey Hoodie Sewing Pattern over on the Gathered Shop and you'll be comfy, stylish and productive.
Gaynor’s went slightly off brief, and Peter’s no-measure approach came back to bite him. Orla’s cool three-piece athleisure wear set won her garment of the week, but sadly, we said goodbye to Saffie and Peter. Both are brilliant, creative sewists, and we wish them the best!
Learn the techniques mentioned in episode two:
Episode one: Tie blouses, circle skirt transformations, pleated dresses
The Bee is back, and what a first episode! We love the variety of contestants this year - scientists, entertainers, construction workers and more. The first episode really put the 12 new sewers through their paces.
‘What’s the difference between having a baby and sewing? They both take labour, love and stitching’ - Sara
For the first pattern challenge of 2025, contestants rushed to the haberdashery to find the perfect fabric for a tie-front blouse. The judges were looking for neat gathers, peplum shape and drapery fabrics. We love how lots of the sewists took to the floor to lay out their fabrics - very relatable, we think!
‘Just bung it on the bottom’ - Esme
Saffie struggled with her slippery fabric, and Peter wasn’t quite sure what a gather was, but in the end, all 12 tie front blouses were dreamy! Big congratulations to Kit for winning the first star make of the series.
Our favourites: Kit's colourful number and Gaynor’s gingham print blouse.
Make your own tie front blouse!

The next task was the transformation challenge. The contestants were given circle skirts to reinvent and reimagine, as Patrick said, ‘we’re looking for raw creativity.’ There was frantic sewing, haberdashery running and a whole lot of sighing from some very stressed sewers!
Our favourites: Yasmin’s giant bow top and Dan’s tartan two-piece.
Sew your own circle skirt
Fancy making your own skirt? Use our circle skirt pattern to learn how.
Then it was time for the big task - the Made to Measure challenge. The contestants were given five hours to make a dress with pleats which fits their model perfectly. There was everything from Vivienne Westwood-inspired dresses to simple yet elegant day dresses.
Our favourites: Orla’s incredible graphic black and white dress and Caz’s top-stitched denim dress.
Well done to Peter for winning garment of the week with his standout origami dress. We got a lovely surprise when the judges said no one is leaving the Sewing Bee Studio this week!
‘They expressed who they are, which to me is very very important’ - Esme

The Great British Sewing Bee was previously filmed at The Chainstore on Trinity Buoy Wharf for series 7 in 2021, which is just across the Thames from the O2 Arena.
The show's former warehouse setting for the 2020 series was located in London’s Bermondsey, in the heart of the capital's historical textiles quarter. For the truly geeky among you (we include ourselves in this category), the 2019 series was filmed at 47/49 Tanner Street (also the location of Dragon’s Den!), near Tower Bridge.

All the clothes on the Sewing Bee are returned to the contestants after filming. There's no waste in Sewing Bee studio!
