If you watched the first episode of The Great British Sewing Bee Series 11 and muttered, “Why would you use that ribbon?” – welcome, friend. You’re in good company. Not all ribbons are cut out for the job. If you’re sewing something that’s going to be tied, tugged, or worn all day, you need to choose your ribbon like you’d choose your shoes – for looks and for function.

UPDATE : The Great British Sewing Bee 2025 starts on Tuesday 15 July at 9pm on BBC1 🎉. It can't be long now though!

We finally have a date for the return of Great British Sewing Bee. It's back on our screens on Tuesday 21 May at 9pm BBC1
