The sewers take to their marks for Sports Week as host Sara Pascoe sets three new challenges.

Patrick and Esme’s Pattern Challenge is a Sewing Bee first: a pair of high-top trainers. Sewing bespoke footwear means tackling a range of unfamiliar techniques, including punching eyelets and stitching soles - all of which must be done twice to create a perfect pair.

The sewers need to be on the ball in the Transformation Challenge, converting old netball kits into a garment to wear off the court in just 90 minutes. For the Made-to-Measure Challenge, they each fit a jacket inspired by their sporting hero. As well as fit and finish, the judges will be looking to see if their hero’s personality or style is evident.

Who will win garment of the week, and who will be last over the finish line? Show less
