Showcase Your Talent

Singer Sewing Machines are inviting current fashion students and recent graduates* to showcase their talent by taking part in our 2025 Sustainable Sewing Challenge.

Win a Singer Heavy Duty 4423 sewing machine

We want you to design and make an upcycled garment sustainably. The three designers of the garments judged to be the best will be invited to attend a special reception with Patrick Grant, judge on the BBC television programme “The Great British Sewing Bee”, at which their entries will be displayed.
Each of the three winners will receive a Singer Heavy Duty 4423 sewing machine.
All garments submitted will be donated to the amazing Barnardo’s charity for sale in their shops or online.



Barnardo’s works to Change Childhoods. Change Lives, by working with children and young people to be safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful. As the UK’s largest children’s charity, last year Barnardo’s supported over 356,200 children, young people and families, through over 760 services across the UK. Its services include, provide counselling for children who have been exploited, support for children in and leaving care and specialist mental health services.
