The Great British Sewing Bee
Children in Need Episode 1
Not Rated
E2 Oct 20, 2014 60mThe Sewing Bee returns for three special Children in Need episodes, as 12 celebrity sewers battle it out over three challenges set by Savile Row's Patrick Grant and sewing expert May Martin. Jenny Eclair hosts the first episode, as she welcomes and cajoles stars of screen, stage and surgery into the sewing room. The A-line skirt pattern challenge proves to almost be the undoing of chef and Hairy Biker Dave Myers as he creates more of a hip than a waistband, DJ and radio presenter Edith Bowman transforms a gaudy Hawaiian shirt into a child's garment even Patrick Grant would wear, Embarrassing Bodies' Dr Dawn Harper proves she can sew with surgical precision across the challenges, despite her shaking hands and Wendi Peters puts her upholstery sewing skills to the test on a 1950s recreation dress made against the clock.
