Whilst it does not have that same level of appeal as Bake Off ... you do end up appreciating that there is a lot of skill and craft that goes into this. Go to Full Review Lucy Pavia London Evening Standard 05/14/2020

Just enjoy the ASMR value of heavy scissors cutting through fabric, or the joke over the farting mannequin, or Esme Young saying, "I do love a pocket." So do I, Esme. Go to Full Review Sarah McMullan The Post NZ 08/20/2021
Season 6 of The Great British Sewing Bee is the perfect watch to get you through winter. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 06/26/2020
3/5
While it was short on anything approaching real drama, the GBSB had enough going for it in genial host Joe Lycett, a worthy winner in 1940s enthusiast Dr Clare, and judges, Esme Young and Patrick Grant, who knew their stuff. Go to Full Review Ian Hyland Daily Mirror (UK) 05/14/2020
4/5
That's the fun of this show though. Like Bake Off, it's all about seeing the end results and wondering whether you could have done any better - or in my case, how much more of a mess I could have made of it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
