The Great British Sewing Bee returns for a Christmas reunion with the judges, Savile Row's Patrick Grant and sewing teacher, May Martin and 2013's semi-finalists - Stuart, Sandra, Lauren and 82-year-old winner Ann. Like traditional sewing bees of the past, they pool their experience and talents to make everything from Christmas table linen, to unique gifts to exquisite tree decorations. Ann demonstrates how to make a beautiful teddy bear, Stuart produces a tweed satchel, Sandra puts together a gardening belt and Lauren constructs a fabric doll's house. As they sew, they and the judges share stories of their own family Christmas traditions.

The Sewing Bee returns for three special Children in Need episodes, as 12 celebrity sewers battle it out over three challenges set by Savile Row's Patrick Grant and sewing expert May Martin. Each programme charts the highs and lows of two intense days in the sewing room as hemlines are hacked into, waistbands fall apart and sewing machines and sewers alike become completely entangled.
All four celebrities are sewing for BBC Children in Need to inspire viewers to get creative at home and raise money for the charity. Each of the three celebrity hosts will also visit an individual project supported by Children in Need within the shows, to get a first-hand view of how donations really can help to improve children's lives.
Jenny Eclair hosts the first episode of this very special celebrity edition of The Sewing Bee, as she welcomes and cajoles stars of screen, stage and surgery into the sewing room. The A-line skirt pattern challenge proves to almost be the undoing of chef and Hairy Biker Dave Myers as he creates more of a hip than a waistband, DJ and radio presenter Edith Bowman transforms a gaudy Hawaiian shirt into a child's garment even Patrick Grant would wear, Embarrassing Bodies' Dr Dawn Harper proves she can sew with surgical precision across the challenges, despite her shaking hands and Wendi Peters puts her upholstery sewing skills to the test on a 1950s recreation dress made against the clock.

Sara Cox takes the helm of the second episode. Actress Pam Ferris dusts off her 40-year-old sewing box and skills to see if she can still cut it behind the machine - producing a Peter Pan-inspired skirt fit for a fashionista. TV presenter Gaby Roslin immerses herself fully into the world of fabric, creating some very sparkly results in the pyjama pattern challenge, while Louie Spence goes back to his roots in a flurry of tiered lycra. Sewing novice and comedian Mark Watson gets totally out of his comfort zone as he pins, cuts and sews his way from disaster to disaster. But who will be crowned the Children in Need Sewing Bee winner?

In the final episode, host Anita Rani aids and encourages four more celebrity sewers as they take on the sewing room. Radio DJ Gemma Cairney has a run-in with the overlocker while trying to perfect a T-shirt in the pattern challenge. Journalist and author Kathryn Flett reconnects with her 80s fashion editor self to create an alteration that Kate Moss would be proud of. Knitting fan and Overtones lead singer Timmy Matley borrows tips from his aunties in Cork to help him perfect a Michael Jackson-inspired jacket and comedian Helen Lederer brings her own style to the competition with everything from sequins to netting and even a coffee stain. Only one can be crowned the champion after two more gruelling days sewing guerilla-style.
