Welcome back to a brand new series of The Stitch Up, where James and Jo discuss the first episode of The Great British Sewing Bee Series 10 🎉

For the first task of the new series, the contestants were asked to create a denim A-line midi skirt with visible topstitching in a contrasting thread. This meant that every seam was visible and nothing could escape Esme’s scrutiny! 🧐 

The transformation challenge meant turning T-shirts into creative new designs and in the made-to-measure 10 beautiful day dresses were stitched up!
