Great British Sewing Bee returns for new season on BBC One

The absolute perfect mellowness of lying on the sofa eating an ice cream, the cat sprawled next to me gently wiggling her paws. I'm watching #SewingBee and she's dreaming of murdering something small and squeaky. Bliss.

I am so happy to have the Sewing Bee back. I love them all and Sophie Willan is fantastic. #sewingbee

Cruel to have new Sewing Bee, Bake Off Professionals AND World Cup on at the same time when most of the time there’s fuck all on

The Great British Sewing Bee will make everything better... 🪡🧵

Lodging my annual complaint about how much of a spoiler the pre-series montage is #SewingBee #gbsb

lmao at Dawn doing her cutting around a newspaper and the BBC having to blur the adverts out because it's the BBC #SewingBee

New series of Sewing Bee starts at 8pm on BBC1 if you're looking for something to watch.

No I do not want to watch footy ball… sewing bee is on

Honestly, I think the first week should be a no elimination week. #SewingBee

It might be the hottest day of the year here - 38C - but The Great British Sewing Bee is back, which means watching it in the very cool basement (our basement reliably stays about 16C year-round).

I'd love to hear them say "It's not been an easy decision because three of you are hopeless" #sewingbee

11 minutes in and I remember why I love #SewingBee. In a world that feels increasingly like it is spinning off its axis, shows like this are just a big warm much needed hug. I bloody love Sophie Willan too. Perfect new host for this. 💖 #GBSB

My initial #SewingBee favourite is Emma - the hair, the accent, the bright prints. Also enjoying Sophie Willan's hosting and vowels.

Catching up with #SewingBee and disappointed to find that Angela Rayner has been so marginalised in government that she's got time to be on a reality show.

STOP showing the finished garments at the beginning of the show!!!! #SewingBee
