Great British Sewing Bee 2026 final

Is there a new thread somewhere?

I’m excited to see this.

While the transformation winners don't often suit my tastes, I think they have been consistent in the way they have judged them.

Contestants are scored for the transformation and if you make it look very different to the original, you tend to do better than with a well made piece closer to the original (see Rebecca's school dress for best example of this).

I liked Beth's better but she used floaty beach style fabrics which lend themselves to the task but don't necessarily carry the extra points for 'different'. Anna took a heavy duty chair cover and while I wouldn't wear it, she did bring together the horribly clashing components into something cohesive with an interesting shape - and that's what has won on every challenge.
