It’s the grand finale, and the remaining candidates are ready to compete for the coveted title of Britain’s best amateur sewer. The judges, Patrick Grant and Esme Young, set three challenges inspired to test their skills for one final time.\n\nFirst up, the sewers get gala ready with a cummerbund and bow tie. Next, it’s time for the transformation challenge, where the sewers take gala tableware and turn it into an outfit for the perfect day-after hangout, the beach club.\n\nFinally, inspired by the Met Gala in New York, the sewers must create outfits on the theme of metamorphosis as if they had an invite to the Sewing Bee gala.\n\nThree finalists, three challenges, but only one contestant will be crowned the twelfth champion of The Great British Sewing Bee.
