The Great British Sewing Bee will return for a second longer
series, BBC Two has confirmed. The needlework competition, inspired by The Great British Bake Off and presented by Claudia Winkleman, will return in 2014 for a six-part series.
The first series of The Great British Sewing Bee featured eight competitors, with 81-year-old Ann Rowley crowned the winner in a finale watched by 2.7 million viewers.
Controller of BBC Two Janice Hadlow said: "I'm delighted that BBC Two viewers have taken this series to their hearts. "It has proved that an ill-fitting zip or badly placed dart can make for compelling television in much the same way as a soggy bottom on Great British Bake Off and I can't wait for the next series."

Congratulations to Ann, 81. 75 years of sewing it showed! It also demonstrated that you don't have to be young to be cool and interesting (Yoko Ono has just turned 80 on 18th February this year). I can' t wait to see thee second series. I must confess that at each challenge, I couldn't think what I would have done. Anyway, it was truly deserved.
