Great British Sewing Bee Festive Specials!

Sewing Bee fans will be thrilled to hear that there are not one, but TWO Great British Sewing Bee Festive Specials gracing our screens this Christmas and we can't wait! With brand new host Sara Pascoe, the first special features celebrity sewers Antony Cotton, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Kate Bottley and Anneka Rice. Can these four brave celebrities follow a pattern for a Christmas jumper, transform a charity shop bundle into a fancy dress outfit and create dresses from Christmas past in an attempt to win the coveted Christmas Sewing Bee award? Tune in on the Wednesday 22nd Dec at 8pm to find out!

The exciting New Year Special features winner of Drag Race Lawrence Chaney, comedian and writer, Rose Matafeo, singer, Claire Richards from Steps and journalist Kirsty Wark. To impress judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young they will be challenged to rustle up a festive waistcoat, transform old clothes into a children's party dress and fit a food themed fancy dress costume to a model. And that's not all! Ending the show on a song, Claire will also be performing an eighties disco classic. Get your needles at the ready for this celebrity special on the 30th Dec at 8pm on BBC One.
