A group of amateur sewers show off their skills in a series of timed challenges in order to be crowned `Britain's best home sewer'. Under the watchful eye of Savile Row designer and tailor Patrick Grant and costume designer Esme Young, the sewers must prove they have what it takes in order to avoid elimination and make it to the next round. Challenges include sewing from a pattern, transforming an item of clothing, and sewing made-to-measure clothes. The judges will carefully study the cut and finish of clothes to decide who gets to remain in the competition.
