The Great British Sewing Bee is back soon!

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

I am doing my happy dance!

When?!

Looking forward to this. Can't sew for toffee but like to watch other people who can.

O, thank the Lord!

In this atmosphere of misery and madness, it will be a little oasis of sanity-inducing delight!

nd as attatiti has asked - when? When? WHEN?????

I kno and I must start using my sewing machine I got for xmas.

Never have we needed this more. I saw there was a book coming out in two weeks that is based on this series so I hoped it would air in the next week or so. Brilliant news.

Oh fantastic.
DD told me to watch some fashion thing on Netflix to fill the Sewing Bee gap, I only managed 2 episodes.

On the BBC website it says no upcoming broadcasts so can't be really soon, surely?

@attatiti and @SchadenfreudePersonified - I'm afraid the Beeb didn't say when - just 'coming soon'. They didn't define soon.

@Cocolapew - was it Project Runway? I've watched that in the past and enjoyed it - it would be great if it was on Netflix. If it wasn't PR, and you can find previous series anywhere, I'd recommend it. It is more high fashion based than the sewing bee, but still entertaining.

No it was Next In Fashion with Alexa Chung.

Hopefully it'll be within the next couple of weeks. I hope there's more of a focus on fashion than there was last series.

THANK YOU BBC! Just what we need.

I enjoyed that series.

Took a bit of getting into, but once the competition hotted up, it was very engaging.

In the current situation I suspect sooner rather than later for a bit of light relief. Maybe Mid April ish?

Looking forward to it - much needed light relief and inspiration.

Cannot wait for this to start. The Pottery Throwdown was great this year, but Sewing Bee is even better - and will inspire me to get using my sewing machine again!

Good news. I wonder who the presenter will be, was not enamoured of Joe thingy, he looked bored and clearly wasn't very interested in what the contestants were doing. I think Mel G would be good, or Lisa Tarbuck, who needs to be in more stuff.

That is the first nice news I’ve had today. Love the sewing bee. That’s cheered me right up.

Joe Lycett is hosting again(or Hugo Boss as he is now known). I like him.

Oh I love it! They might put them all on iplayer as box sets!

Very happy about this. Sewing Bee actually inspired me to buy a sewing machine a couple of years ago and while I’m not exactly up to competition standard 😂 I do really enjoy sewing.

Oh dear. Never mind, it's a National Emergency, I'll suck it up buttercup.

@TankGirl97 I agree. I've loved Pottery Throwdown this year, and was feeling sad it wasn't on this week, then saw the advert for Sewing Bee and it made me smile!
