Synopsis
Following the spectacular success of The Great British Bake Off, Love Productions branched off into another traditional craft, sewing. Eight amateur fanatics are asked to stitch, quilt, embroider, and tailor.
Judges for the first three series were May Martin from the Women's Institute, and internationally-renowned tailor Patrick Grant. Esme Young took over from Martin for series 4. Claudia Winkleman hosted the first four series and Joe Lycett took over after a three-year break, presumably in order to let the air clear over The Great British Bake offing to Channel 4.
