Now, the BBC series is looking for applicants for their brand-new series of the show, which is due to be filmed between August and November 2022.

So if you fancy yourself as an undiscovered sewing talent, this might be your chance to shoot to fame and share your skills on the big screen.

All you need to is be over the age of 16 and be able to commit to 20 days across 6-8 weeks of filming between August and November 2022 and you must not hold formal sewing qualifications to enter. Anyone across the UK can apply (though we’re hoping to see some Yorkshire folk inside the Yorkshire filming spot, assuming the producers stick with their new filming location.)

If you reckon that you’ve got what it takes to join the team in Sunny Bank Mills and show off your skills inside the historic Yorkshire building, you’d better apply quickly.
