1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,119
Welcome. Welcome. Yeah, thank you.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,279
Welcome to The Great...

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,999
- Oh!
- We've got the most amazing idea
for the pre-title sketches.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,999
- Right.
- We're going to dress you
as a giant bobbin

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,519
- and roll you in.
- OK.

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,839
- It's going to be great.
- OK.

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,879
- I didn't know we were still doing...
- OK, Sophie, standby!

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,999
- It'll be great.
- Right, OK.

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,639
Don't forget. Once you've
introduced the challenge,

10
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,999
head straight to the haberdashery
to talk applique.

11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,479
- H-Have a...?
- OK, camera set!

12
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,999
Wing it.

13
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,999
I've been winging it for years.

14
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,679
- Yeah?
- She really has.

15
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,999
And action!

16
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,999
Welcome to The Great British
Sewing Bee.

17
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,479
I'm Sophie Willan, your new host.

18
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:36,839
- Seamless.
- Yeah?

19
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,279
- Mm.
- Woo!

20
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,400
LAUGHTER

21
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,999
- Yeah!
- I'm on Sewing Bee.
I can't believe it.

22
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,719
I've spoken to my daughter.

23
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,639
I said, "I'm just going
to be myself."

24
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,999
And she said, "Oh, no, Mum -
don't do that!"

25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,599
12 brand-new home sewers are about
to take their first steps

26
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,999
into the sewing room.

27
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,439
- Wowser!
- Oh, my God!
- Wow!

28
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,999
This is so exciting.

29
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,239
It's a lifelong dream.

30
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,639
It's something me and my mum
watch together.

31
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,999
Over the next ten weeks,

32
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,839
they'll be faced with challenges
to test their precision...

33
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,799
- Oh, God.
- ...creativity...

34
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,599
This is my Superman look.

35
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,879
ANNA GASPS

36
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,439
- My needle broke.
- ...and ability to fit to a model.

37
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,559
Chaos, isn't it?

38
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,999
I didn't think I was competitive
until I turned up here.

39
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,679
- Fantastic.
- Do I hope I win?

40
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,879
Of course I hope I win!

41
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,639
My main techniques are panic
and winging it.

42
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,679
All will be scrutinised by judges
Esme Young and Patrick Grant.

43
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,519
If you want to go far
in the Sewing Bee,

44
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,159
you have to show the bravery.

45
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,639
You have to create something
that we haven't seen before.

46
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,879
I'm going for a pimped up
traffic warden.

47
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,759
That is a sentence I didn't expect
to hear on Sewing Bee.

48
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,999
I might send mine to
Benedict Cumberbatch.

49
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,239
He's really dishy.

50
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,279
It's really important they learn
from their mistakes -

51
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,719
not go, "Ah!"

52
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,599
- Ah!
- Ah!

53
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,599
Who will strut their way to winning
Garment of the Week?

54
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,999
I really hope Patrick and Esme
get my style.

55
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,199
I think they will.

56
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,479
Surely?

57
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,999
Who will unravel?

58
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,639
- I'm so sorry! Did I attack you?
- And who...

59
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,599
- Come on!
- I've made a right meal of this!

60
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,040
REBECCA GROANS
...is hanging by a thread?

61
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,439
Sometimes you do the most
idiotic things.

62
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,800
I don't.

63
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,080
♪ When I met you in the summer... ♪

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,760
Sewers, please come forward.

65
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,399
Big hello, you brave bunch of
bobbin wranglers.

66
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,639
How are we feeling?

67
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,279
- Excited? Nervous?
- Yeah.

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,999
Planning an escape route?
LAUGHTER

69
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,999
First up, we've got the pattern
challenge.

70
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,239
And this week's theme is
British summertime.

71
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,999
So think flowers, garden parties.

72
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,399
And as I'm pregnant, I'll probably
just be sat sweating

73
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,519
in my underwear like a rotisserie
chicken.

74
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,279
So, Esme, what have we got?

75
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Here you go. Pass them around.

76
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,279
- Thank you.
- So we've given you
a pair of summer shorts.

77
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,279
It's got elastic at the back.

78
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,399
It's got two pockets and a fake fly.

79
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,559
Also, there is a lot of
topstitching -

80
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,519
and you need to do that
in a contrast thread.

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,239
Of course, we want to see you
choose a fabric

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,519
that shows us something
about your style,

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,199
but which also works well with
the features in our short.

84
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,719
OK, you've got two hours
and 45 minutes.

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Your time starts... now.

86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,639
- Yo!
- Oh, my Gosh!
- Esme, you look
fabulous in real life -

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,839
now I can see you!

88
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,999
I couldn't see you from back there.

89
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,519
- Which one are you going for?
- The crabs.

90
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,519
- Lovely. I'm going for the lobster.
- Yay!

91
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,679
We can co-ordinate!

92
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,839
The sewers' fabric choice
could impact

93
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,759
how challenging these shorts
are to sew.

94
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,679
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!

95
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,239
Right, what are we going for?

96
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,239
Too floaty and it will be harder
to get a crisp, neat finish.

97
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,599
It's too drapey.

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,199
Too heavy and the sewers could
end up with bulky bits.

99
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,639
Oh, sorry, madam!

100
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,199
The haberdashery,
it's so much bigger

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,839
than I thought it was going to be.

102
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,559
Really, really cool.

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,799
Oh, I'm so excited!

104
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,120
Probably too excited.

105
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,159
So, what are all the elements

106
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,359
that they have to do
with these shorts?

107
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Well, we've asked them to make
two patch pockets.

108
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,799
Those are topstitched on.

109
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,479
And there is quite a lot of
topstitching.

110
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,999
There's topstitching
around the pocket,

111
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,639
we've got topstitching
around the false fly

112
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,159
and we've got topstitching
around the hem.

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,999
Now, they all ought to be
the same spacing.

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,839
- And the topstitching is going
to really shout out.
- Yes.

115
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:55,559
We've asked them to put an
elasticated section

116
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,279
- right through the back of
the shorts.
- Yes.

117
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,679
Inserting the elastic can be
quite tricky.

118
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,759
It needs to be equal.

119
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,759
Because we've asked them to sew it
through the back.

120
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,719
But also making sure the fabric
isn't so thick

121
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,559
that it doesn't gather properly.

122
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,439
Yeah, because it looks nice
with a ruche.

123
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,599
- You need the ruche.
- It does, doesn't it?

124
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,799
- You need a good ruche.
- Also, there's
facing here

125
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,999
- that needs to be understitched.
- Right.

126
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,999
That's to keep it in place.

127
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,639
Well, let's see how they do.

128
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,839
{\an8}We are good to go.

129
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:24,359
{\an8}I'm really liking this fabric.

130
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,119
It's thick enough that it'll keep
its shape.

131
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,999
{\an8}My hands are shaking.
I just need a moment.

132
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,719
{\an8}Of all the things that
I'm not good at,

133
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,399
{\an8}it's going to be topstitching,
isn't it?

134
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,439
{\an8}So that's going to be
a right old mess.

135
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,359
{\an8}To start the shorts,
two patch pockets

136
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,399
{\an8}are created and topstitched onto
the front pieces,

137
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,239
{\an8}which are sewn together
at the centre seam.

138
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,799
{\an8}To create the fake fly,

139
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,359
{\an8}the fly extension is pressed
to the right

140
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,239
{\an8}and topstitched in place.

141
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,399
Next, the front facing is attached
at the waist and understitched,

142
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,679
before the back and front pieces
are sewn together.

143
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,559
The elastic is attached
at the side seams,

144
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,999
then the facing is folded down
and stitched in place.

145
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,040
{\an8}Finally, the inside leg is sewn
and the hems are topstitched.

146
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,399
So, first step is with the pockets,
which are here.

147
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,439
"Turn the seam allowance
above the notch

148
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,559
"to the wrong side and press."

149
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,119
Fiddly. Very fiddly.

150
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,559
"Use a contrast colour thread

151
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,160
"to topstitch eight millimetres
from the fold."

152
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,999
What on earth? I can't really
unpick.

153
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,999
It's not my superpower.

154
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,479
Finance boss Dawn has been sewing
since childhood.

155
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,999
And despite losing the sight
in her left eye in 2022,

156
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,999
leaving her visually impaired,

157
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,999
it hasn't dented her passion.

158
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,759
I found that there are gadgets
out there

159
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,999
that help people with sight loss,

160
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,559
but I've come from not being able
to do very much at all

161
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,399
to being on the show today.

162
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,439
- Good morning.
- Oh, hello!

163
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,039
- How are you getting along?
- Er...

164
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,199
Well, I won't tell you about
the unfortunate bit.

165
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,439
Well, you can't tell us there's
an unfortunate thing

166
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,439
and then us not ask about
the unfortunate thing.

167
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,719
So what's the unfortunate thing?

168
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,679
- Well, the topstitching I done,
the machine...
- Oops.

169
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,679
- The bobbin was a bit wonky.
- Yeah.

170
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,239
But that's inside a pocket.

171
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,719
- You're barely going to notice that.
- Well, er...

172
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,119
I mean, we've noticed it now.

173
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,639
Yes. If you hadn't told us, we might
not have noticed.

174
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,399
Pretend I didn't.
LAUGHTER

175
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,999
{\an8}I've gone for this really
lovely fabric

176
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,759
{\an8}with cute little red bows on.

177
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,599
I'm going to be doing a
contrast pocket in red.

178
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,879
A bit of a sailor vibe.

179
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,439
I feel like it's a bit of me.

180
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,719
Anna lives on a narrow boat in York
with her boyfriend.

181
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,759
A barista by day, her voyage
into sewing

182
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,519
started six years ago.

183
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,999
And the rest is history.

184
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,999
I'm obsessed with vintage fashion.

185
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,599
I definitely love to make
theatrical,

186
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,999
weird and wonderful creations.

187
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,600
I call it folk grunge.

188
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,439
- I'm loving the outfit.
- Thank you.

189
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,399
And I've noticed in here you like
the vintage looks.

190
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,119
- I do, yeah.
- The romantic,
Bohemian couple here.

191
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,999
- Yeah.
- He's called Sebastian, isn't he?

192
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,679
- He is.
- And your dad is a vicar?

193
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,999
- He is, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- I know everything about you, Anna.

194
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,040
- You do, yeah!
- I'm like MI5.

195
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,439
I'm being really boring.

196
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,319
It doesn't exactly scream
Ibiza holidays.

197
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,599
But to me, this is like the colour
of the South Downs,

198
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,759
where I live.

199
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,199
East Sussex lad Lewis

200
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,199
is a rugby-playing school teacher -

201
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,719
and has been a secret sewer
for years.

202
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,279
I didn't used to tell a lot
of people

203
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,679
that I enjoyed sewing.

204
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,759
I grew up with my hobbies
being rugby.

205
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,639
I don't think I was going to be
in the changing rooms

206
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,759
talking to the lads about, you know,
seam allowances.

207
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,759
But it's something I'm
really proud of.

208
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,519
- Hello.
- Hello.
- I hear you played
rugby?
- Morning.

209
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,999
I did used to, yeah.

210
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,159
She likes a rugby man.

211
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,599
Well, my dad was the captain of
the Wasps.

212
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,159
- Oh, amazing.
- THE Wasps.
- Wow.
- The Wasps, yeah.

213
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,999
Do you make shorts? Is this
something you'd normally do?

214
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,879
- Yeah, I really like patch pockets.
- And are wearing them today.

215
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,999
Yeah, I'd say I can't take credit
for these, though.

216
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,719
Yeah, well, it's a nice reference
point, isn't it?

217
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,519
- Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- Here's how they should look.

218
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,999
{\an8}-
- I'm a bit nervous.

219
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,599
I don't know. It's a bit Kat Slater,
isn't it?

220
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,399
But half my wardrobe's
in leopard print,

221
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,439
- so it's making me feel comfortable.
- Go like this...!

222
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,999
Primary teacher Adele has been
making clothes

223
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,159
for five years

224
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,279
and has given pattern matching
a whole new meaning.

225
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,159
My little girl shares the
leopard print love.

226
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,479
I also like to make my husband
and my son matching shirts.

227
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,719
My poor husband doesn't really get
a say in it.

228
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,599
Do you do topstitching?

229
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,999
Yeah, I do. And I thought, "Go with
the white contrast thread."

230
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,639
- It's quite bright, isn't it,
that white?
- Mm.

231
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,279
- I know.
- I'm just wondering
whether something

232
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,159
that was like a slight ecru -

233
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,440
rather than, like, graphic, graphic
white might not be a bit...?

234
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,799
- I might just go for it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

235
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,999
I'm topstitching the pockets.

236
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,999
Patrick and Esme will be looking
for perfectly straight,

237
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,799
evenly spaced parallel lines.

238
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,599
The tongue of concentration
is coming out.

239
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,479
I'm really happy with the contrast,

240
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,799
and I think the topstitching
is working.

241
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,199
Shaky, that is.

242
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,999
Oh, I'm panicking about this white.

243
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,999
And my topstitching's gone
all weird here.

244
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,159
I love a topstitch.

245
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,479
Who doesn't love a topstitch?

246
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,119
I wear shorts all the time.

247
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,799
I live on a smallholding.

248
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,999
Hello, boys.

249
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,839
60-year-old Tim runs a small Suffolk
care farm.

250
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,999
Used to operating heavy machinery,

251
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,519
he bought his first sewing machine
two years ago

252
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,719
and hasn't looked back.

253
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,359
I just think sewing
is a magical thing.

254
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,719
I would really advocate

255
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,239
if anybody thinks they're too old
to do anything, just do it.

256
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,519
We've gone bananas.

257
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,999
We have gone bananas.

258
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,599
I thought it was a really
summery print.

259
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,279
- How do you feel to be here?
- Er, it's just fantastic.

260
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,439
With all these talented people,
it's just wonderful!

261
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,999
Well, you'll find out whether
they're talented or not.

262
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,399
LAUGHTER

263
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,479
Halfway through, sewers!

264
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,999
Wow!

265
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,999
Exhausting work for me, this.

266
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,279
I'm sewing together the front
two pieces

267
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,999
at the crotch seam and fly.

268
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,759
{\an8}I now need to fold this fake fly

269
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,999
so that you get a fold
on the inside

270
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,199
and it looks like there's a fly -

271
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,679
even though you haven't done
a zip or anything.

272
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:51,919
OK, scary topstitching! Let's go!

273
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,999
My topstitching's not as perfect
as I'd like it to be.

274
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,999
{\an8}It's going a bit narrower
at the bottom,

275
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,119
{\an8}but I can live with it.

276
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,359
These are ladies' shorts,

277
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,999
so the sewers need to remember the
fly goes right over left.

278
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,679
It's wrong. We should be
on the other side.

279
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,880
We're not unpicking.
We're just carrying on.

280
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,759
Sam's used to pressure.

281
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,999
He's a heating engineer
in Huddersfield,

282
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,999
where he lives with his partner,
Liv, a criminal barrister.

283
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,639
My partner is absolutely over
the moon with me sewing.

284
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,999
If we go shopping,

285
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,639
instead of buying the garment,

286
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,399
she's like, "Well, you can
make that."

287
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,999
You live in Yorkshire?

288
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,999
Yeah, I moved from Birmingham.

289
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,359
- Were you on the run or...?
- No, no, not yet.

290
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,399
Because, I mean, this could
all be a ruse, couldn't it?

291
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,719
You could be setting up a new life
as a "sewer".

292
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,599
I've got a good legal team
behind me

293
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760
- if it does go a bit south.
- Right, OK.

294
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,999
I have just attached
the front facing.

295
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,639
And I need to now press this under,
and then understitch,

296
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,559
which is where you run a line
of stitching

297
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,239
just on the inside of the facing.

298
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,759
And it means, when I fold it over,
you'll get a really crisp edge.

299
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,999
Let's see if we can do this.

300
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,359
I like to freestyle, and I know
that's not what this is about.

301
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,439
So I need to make sure
that I actually do

302
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,600
what they tell me to do.

303
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,479
Sewers, you've got one hour!

304
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,999
Right? Yeah, crack on.

305
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,599
It's starting to feel pretty toasty.

306
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,719
So, er, I'm putting the back
and the front together.

307
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,999
"The top of the pocket opening
should meet the side seam."

308
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,319
Exactly.

309
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,999
I'm trying to line it up
as best I can.

310
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,719
I can feel where the edge of
the pocket is,

311
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,399
and I just need to make sure that
I sew right along that line.

312
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,719
Millimetre precision is needed here.

313
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,999
Stray too close to the pocket edge
and there's a risk they might

314
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,599
sew their pocket closed.

315
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,839
I need to be slow here, because I
can feel the pocket opening.

316
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,399
One millimetre the other way

317
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,519
and their pockets won't line up
with the side seams.

318
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,999
They may be a mil or two out.

319
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,879
Yay! My pockets worked!

320
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,319
EMMA SINGS SOPRANO

321
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,999
Emma hits all the high notes.

322
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,999
She's a professional soprano

323
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,999
and recently started sewing again
after a 30-year gap.

324
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,839
I would say that my style is
dopamine dressing.

325
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,559
My brother once said that
I looked like

326
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,679
I'd been in an explosion
in a paint factory,

327
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,520
so I suppose that's kind of
what I'm going for.

328
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,799
When did you start all this
malarkey, then?

329
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,199
- The sewing?
- I started when I was
a teenager.

330
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,719
My mum used to sew a lot,

331
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,999
and then she took ill at one point.

332
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,839
So I was able to use her
sewing machine.

333
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,439
- That was weirdly opportunistic
of you.
- I know, it was.

334
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,839
I thought it was going to be
a sad story.

335
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,879
- No, no.
- You were like, "Sod her! Woo!"

336
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,999
Somebody got the roll of elastic?

337
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,999
I am folding the front facing at
the back of the shorts down.

338
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,199
So basically I'm creating a channel.

339
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,639
You put elastic in the back.

340
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,519
"Pin one end in place,
pin the other end

341
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,639
"on the opposite side and stitch."

342
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,199
To create the perfect ruche,

343
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,559
the sewers must stitch the bottom
of the back channel closed

344
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,159
with pinpoint accuracy...

345
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,519
This is tricky.

346
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,799
...making sure they don't catch
any of the elastic.

347
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,319
Is anyone doing the elastic?

348
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,999
It's really hard to pull it
and sew it.

349
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,280
Oh, man.

350
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,439
Don't need to see that yet, Esme.

351
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,759
LAUGHTER

352
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,559
- I'm loving the pink.
- Thank you.

353
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,999
- You're engaged, aren't you?
- I am engaged, yes.

354
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,559
To a woman who describes your style
as like an executive hobbit?

355
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,559
Yes. Well, she's six foot -
and I'm not.

356
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,799
I just think it's a fabulous turn
of phrase.

357
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,479
- Yeah!
- Who says a hobbit can't
be efficient?

358
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,439
- Yeah.
- We just like elevenses.

359
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,559
Yeah.

360
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,279
Rebecca is an actuary

361
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,759
and lives in London with her fiance,
Sam.

362
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,599
She's been sewing for a decade,

363
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,999
but her current make is her most
ambitious yet.

364
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,999
I am making my own wedding dress.

365
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,919
There's a lot of pressure
to get it right.

366
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,239
{\an8}"Further secure the elastic
by stitching

367
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,399
{\an8}"through the back seam."

368
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,119
{\an8}I just need to do the centre
back seam,

369
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,999
so I'm trying to pull it
so the elastic

370
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,719
is equally spread either side.

371
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,479
Otherwise you'll get a right
bum cheek

372
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,999
that's tighter than the left
bum cheek.

373
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,399
I'm getting a bit of bunching.

374
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,759
My waistband's a little bit
imbalanced,

375
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,480
but I don't think I'm going
to unpick that.

376
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,759
Sewers! Ten minutes left!

377
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,239
- Oh, Lordy!
- You'll be fine.

378
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,599
You'll be fine. Everything is fine.

379
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,319
I'm just pressing the hems.

380
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,519
Some of it is not great.

381
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,999
We've got to topstitch
two parallel lines.

382
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,199
But I'm really getting them nice
and straight, hopefully.

383
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,799
I'm hopeful that I've done enough.

384
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,999
And them to go, "Yep, that's what
we asked you to do."

385
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,479
- Oh, man!
- One minute left!

386
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,519
I'm not going to finish.

387
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,399
My very, very stressed face.

388
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,559
Caught the pocket.

389
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,199
It's too late now.

390
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,399
Oh!

391
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,999
Sewers! Like the temperature
in here, your time is up!

392
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,399
Oh, man. That's annoying.

393
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,279
It could've... Could've gone worse.

394
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,159
I missed a row of topstitching.

395
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,039
Bring your mannequins forward.

396
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,159
Sunchyme
by Dario G

397
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Get the speed! Woohoo!

398
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,319
12 pairs of summer shorts
made in under three hours

399
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,679
are ready for Esme and Patrick's
sunshiny scrutiny.

400
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,679
I think they've made pretty
short work of this challenge!

401
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,760
{\an8}Hey!
LAUGHTER

402
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,279
The topstitching is pretty good, actually.

403
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:11,119
The consistency of your two lines
of topstitching is impeccable.

404
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,999
The waistband elastic
is pretty good.

405
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,119
I think it's just slightly
off alignment

406
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,359
at the top of the pocket here.

407
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,999
But I think you've done
a very good job.

408
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,360
Thank you.

409
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,879
You can see very clearly -
wider, narrower.

410
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,879
Also, the pocket, it's not lined up.

411
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,560
That edge should be sitting
on that seam.

412
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,999
{\an8}I think this is a great debut.

413
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,319
{\an8}Your topstitching -

414
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,759
{\an8}you're ever so fractionally close
to the edge.

415
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,319
A bit wobbly here.

416
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,640
- You can stop looking now, Esme.
- LAUGHTER

417
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,599
Choice of topstitch works
very nicely

418
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,319
with the fabric.

419
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,479
A little tiny bit narrow.

420
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,239
It's not absolutely consistent.

421
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Pockets line up really well
with the side seams.

422
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,999
Oh, it's a bit wobbly.

423
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,439
Elastic's good.

424
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,839
The top of the pocket is not aligned
with the side seam on this side,

425
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,400
and you've managed to somehow catch
the edge of the pocket.

426
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,839
I think it's a good choice
of fabric,

427
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,399
and your topstitching
is super neat.

428
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,919
Top of your pocket isn't quite
lined up.

429
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,559
When you've attached the elastic,

430
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,319
you've gone slightly off centre.

431
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,799
So you've got a bit more gather
this side

432
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
and a bit less gather that side.

433
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,679
Well, the topstitching actually
is really good.

434
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,519
The pocket doesn't line-up
with the side seam.

435
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,199
It's quite a heavy fabric,

436
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,880
so it's just making the top
a little bit bulky.

437
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:01,119
I think the topstitch colour
is just too white.

438
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,679
In terms of the topstitching
itself,

439
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,999
this side is a little narrow.

440
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,879
Top of the pocket isn't quite
lined up.

441
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,120
Same this side.

442
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,199
I like the purple with the pink,

443
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,719
but it really shows up
the wobbles.

444
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,839
The fly's the wrong way around.

445
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,279
It's left over right instead of
right over left.

446
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,239
You've just slightly lost the edge
on the front of the pocket.

447
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,839
The hem - you have only got 80% of
the first row of stitching,

448
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,999
- and you haven't got to the second.
- Literally run out of time.

449
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,360
Yeah.

450
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,839
You're the only person to have
given us a contrast pocket.

451
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,999
The combination of fabrics -

452
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,199
it's really, really nice.

453
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,359
These are super nicely made.

454
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,599
The topstitching -

455
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,159
- absolutely spot-on.
- Is great.

456
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,560
Well done.

457
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,599
Your topstitching is really nice
and neat.

458
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,599
Very consistent.

459
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,559
The elastic's tighter here
than here,

460
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,040
which is a big shame because
it's really well sewn.

461
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,639
I think they are impeccable.

462
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,999
- Yay!
- So neat and tidy everywhere.

463
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,199
And the elastic's good.

464
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,159
Ah, it's not understitched.

465
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,999
It sits nice and flat across the
front, though, doesn't it?

466
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,920
- It does.
- It does.
- But you have
missed the understitching.

467
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,759
Patrick and Esme will now rank
the shorts

468
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,799
from summer wash-out to
summer blockbuster.

469
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,879
In 12th place, it's Sam.

470
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,559
Didn't quite finish.

471
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,319
Just a couple of other
wibbly-wobblies.

472
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,999
Thanks.

473
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,199
Adele is 11th.

474
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,359
Heather, 10th.

00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,639
Lewis, fifth.

Emma, fourth.

And in third place is Rebecca.

480
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,160
In second place...

481
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,999
...is Beth.

482
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,759
Perfection - with the exception of
forgetting that understitch.

483
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,319
In first place is Anna.

484
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,599
We loved the different
colour pockets.

485
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,799
You did a really great job.

486
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,159
Thanks so much! Ah!

487
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,439
Yay!

488
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,039

I'm a bit in shock!

00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,999
If Patrick says something,
he doesn't like something,

00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,279
change it straight away.

494

Put my big girl pants on

12th place, disappointed.

496
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,239
It was a fairly simple pattern.

497
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,159
It was just me executing it
really bad.

00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,039

So now for the transformation
challenge,

502
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,599
where you take something used
and knackered

503
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,999
and give it a bit of a
summertime spruce.

504
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,799
A bit like I do with my pre-holiday
bikini wax.

505
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,999
So, Patrick, what have we got
'em doing?

506
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,720
Ready for a grilling?

Ooh!

508
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,359
We're giving you a selection

to transform them

00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,599
You're allowed to take
two aprons each.

512
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,719
You can take fastenings and webbing.

513
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,559
But you cannot take any
decorative trim

514
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,799
or fabric from the haberdashery.

515
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,479
So the judges can't be here
for this.

516
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,999
So they're going to pop off
and sizzle some sausages.

517
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,879
He's sizzling my sausages.

518
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,839
I don't want to know what
that means, Esme.

519
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,999
LAUGHTER

520
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,999
You've got an hour and a half.

521
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,999
Your time starts... now.

522
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,199
♪ In the summertime, when the
weather is high... ♪

523
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Pull it off! What have we got?

524
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,679
- Oh!
- Wow!

525
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,999
- Oh, I want the pink!
- Oh, gosh!
I'm dropping them!

526
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,999
- Here we go.
- I love making bags.

527
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,999
I don't make them very often, but
they're quite fun to make.

528
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,759
I can make something, I hope.

529
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,159
I mean, I don't eat meat -
so I'm not...

530
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,279
I'm not the best person to invite
to your barbecue.

531
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,319
I'm the one there saying,
"Can you cook this

532
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,160
"in some tinfoil for me, please?"

533
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,039
We've given them all our
favourite aprons,

534
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,559
and we're asking them to transform
them into a bag

535
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,199
with a very clear purpose.

536
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,359
Is it for sport? Is it for
some sort of hobby?

537
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,399
But it also needs to be functional.

538
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,719
So, if it's got straps and clips,
they need to be usable.

539
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,479
Yes, we'd said they can take two -

540
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,999
so I think they really need to play

541
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,559
with the colours and the patterns.

542
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,280
{\an8}Well, Esme, let's hope these bags
are flipping good.

543
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,999
I'm going to make a hat bag

544
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,479
inspired by vintage hat boxes.

545
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,999
So it's going to be round.

546
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,119
I'm going to be making a tool bag.

547
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,719
It was a bit of a blow for you,
last challenge, wasn't it?

548
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,999
It was awful. We just keep going.

549
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,999
I am going to make a gym bag.

550
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,479
My boyfriend's big into the gym,

551
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,839
so I'm going to attempt to make him
some sort of duffle bag.

552
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,119
Project manager Heather

553
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,999
creates timeless garments for
her loved ones and herself.

554
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,839
For her, sewing is more
than a hobby.

555
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,359
It's a family affair.

556
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,999
My grandad was a tailor

557
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,479
and my nan worked in health care
and worked as a seamstress

558
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,239
in the evening for some extra money.

559
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,839
And my mum can also sew.

560
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,559
So it's very much in my blood.

561
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,519
So you're like the House of Versace,
but in Birmingham.

562
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,439
- Something like that, yeah.
- You know,
like, the whole family's at it.

563
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,799
So what I'm thinking is,

564
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,999
because it had the waterproof feel
to it,

565
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,719
a bag for a wet summer walk -

566
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,999
carrying some picnic accoutrements.

567
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,159
Strawberries!

568
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,559
I'm making a knitting bag!

569
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,999
I can't wait to give it
to my daughter, really,

570
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,079
even though she doesn't knit.

571
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,520
I'm the knitter. She's four.

572
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,759
Beijing-born Minnie

573
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,999
lives in Bedfordshire with her
husband and three children.

574
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,399
Her love of sewing started
six years ago

575
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,719
with an unexpected gift.

576
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,239
I got a sewing machine
as a Christmas present

577
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,999
from my husband,

578
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,999
and I hated it.

579
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,239
I said, "That's such a housewifey
present."

580
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,999
But turns out it's the best present
I ever received.

581
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,559
I've decided to make a sewing bag.

582
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,439
I've got this apron, which is
a nasty terracotta one -

583
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,999
but I've got this one,

584
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,839
which is quite a saucy,
fun one.

585
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,559
So it's a travel sewing bag.

586
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,319
I use a lot of duvet covers.

587
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,160
But I've never recycled an apron
before, so this is nice.

588
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,719
Retired lecturer Angie has sewn
on and off for 30 years.

589
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,319
After losing her husband,

590
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,159
she rekindled her love for sewing
with frilly frocks.

591
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,999
I love the concept of matching bags
and shoes and hats.

592
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,719
And quite often, when I make
a dress,

593
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,839
I'll make a bag to match.

594
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,799
That one's pretty much how I feel
about sewing.

595
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,999
ANGIE LAUGHS

596
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,399
- What is this going to be?
- I've got a big orchard.

597
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,999
And this time of year, we spend
a lot of time

598
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,719
up ladders collecting fruit.

599
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,319
- It's a fruit collecting bag.
- Is that a new invention?

600
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,999
We've been using bags to collect
fruit for a long time.

601
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,040
Oh, right. OK. So that's not new.

602
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,359
I think hydration is pretty
important, isn't it?

603
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,999
I want to make, like,
a water bottle bag.

604
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,159
So I'm just currently writing
the word "hydrate".

605
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,239
Hydration is essential for Beth when
she's power lifting at the gym.

606
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,999
Sewing, like sport,

607
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,479
is a stress relief as she studies
for a PhD in engineering.

608
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,719
I just love sewing.

609
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,279
With my engineering brain,

610
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,999
I love the construction.

611
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,719
So I did some circumference
measurements

612
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,999
to make sure that the base
of my circle

613
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,319
is actually the same as the kind of
circumference of the tube.

614
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,479
Current plan is a rucksack.

615
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,159
At the moment, I just want
to get something

616
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,519
that can hold an object.

617
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,999
I'm doing a music briefcase -

618
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,599
for young people to carry
their music in,

619
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,999
in a cool way.

620
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,599
I'm thinking a bag to take
to Glastonbury

621
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,599
to put some beer in.

622
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,439
Is it bacon?

623
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,159
Er, maybe it is.

624
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,759
- I could just wrap it up and eat it.
- Maybe it is.

625
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,079
Think of Lady Gaga when she went on
the red carpet dressed in meat.

626
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,239
Was that summer?
You know, it was edgy.

627
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,719
- No, but it was edgy.
- Oh.

628
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,599
I think you should own it.
You're going punk.

629
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,759
You're just taking a risk.

630
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,799
You're edgy. You're avant-garde.
Go for it, Dawn.

631
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,999
What can you do?

632
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,439
You've made a bag out of bits
of meat.

633
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
It's a sizzling summer!

634
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,599
Halfway, sewers!

635
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,759
They're looking for a bag
with a purpose.

636
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,999
Maybe my purpose is not quite clear.

637
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,559
I'm just adding everything I can
to give it more structure.

638
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,239
I want to stitch this somewhere
onto the bag.

639
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,999
I'm hoping to put a foam roller
in there or a yoga mat,

640
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,439
and then it's a functional gym bag.

641
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,599
It's going to have a zip.

642
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,079
And I've tried to make it a bit 3D
so that it holds more beer.

643
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,999
When it's judged, how are they going
to know it's a sewing bag?

644
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,439
I don't want to go further down
the leaderboard.

645
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,199
I would like to stay a bit longer.

646
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,999
Should just flap over like that.

647
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,519
It's a rucksack for pride!
There we go!

648
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,359
- That's what it is!
- It's a concept album of a bag.

649
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:50,080
LEWIS SIGHS

650
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,239
OK, 15 minutes, you cheeky
chipolatas!

651
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,479
I'm flapping and sweaty.

652
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,719
My main techniques that I'm using
are panic and winging it.

653
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,999
I have got a kind of lid -
like the lid of a hat box.

654
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,999
The key thing is that it's robust
enough to hold a lot of apples.

655
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,999
It's not an adjustable strap,
but it'll have to do.

656
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,999
I have put the word "music" on,
but it's tiny.

657
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,559
This bit comes out.

658
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,999
I've sort of made something
that has to be explained.

659
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,199
I've got a strap.

660
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,359
- A rucksack!
- This is intense, this is.

661
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:23,719
I think that's actually perfect.

662
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,279
And you just shut. Keep all your
project nice and safe

663
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,919
from kids and cats.

664
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,679
I think it looks like a legit bag.

665
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,159
Do you get a one-minute warning?

666
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,119
- One minute left!
- To the wire!

667
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,399
That's what we like to see
on Sewing Bee!

668
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,759
Oh, it worked! OK!

669
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,999
Oh, absolutely sweating!

670
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,439
It's a nice way to end the day.

671
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,559
Needles up, sewers!

672
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,359
I've run so many marathons,
and that was harder.

673
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:49,679
OK, sewers, bring your bags forward,
and muddle them up a bit

674
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,359
so we don't know whose is whose.

675
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,999

00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,839
And Patrick and Esme have no idea
who's made what.

681
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,199
- What do you think?
- I think they're sizzlin' hot.

682
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,199
- I am massively impressed.
- ♪ Barbecue, barbecue

683
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,999
♪ There ain't nothing I'd rather do

684
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,479
♪ Right here in the bed with you
and eat your barbecue. ♪

685
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,119
I think these straps here

686
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,879
are to attach your rolled up
yoga mat.

687
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,999
Because this is a classic sort of
gym bag shape.

688
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,559
I think it's really
well constructed.

689
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,999
I like the way that they've given us
the straps

690
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,560
in colours that I think work with
the print really well. I like it.

691
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,679
This is a sort of a take on what
ultramarathon runners use.

692
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,199
They've just free-hand embroidered
over the top

693
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,559
with "fuel" and "hydrate".

694
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,640
- It's fun, isn't it?
- It is super fun, yeah.

695
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,119
It's sort of half apron, half bib.

696
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,479
Half tote bag.

697
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,319
It's not much of a transformation,
is it?

698
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,999
It's useful, it's functional,

699
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,920
but it's still quite aprony.

700
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,439
PATRICK LAUGHS

701
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,559
Very entertainingly is a dinner suit
with a load of meat.

702
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,359
It's got Lady Gaga meat outfit
vibes.

703
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,999
And there's lots of pockets here.

704
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,679
What do you think it's for?

705
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,279
- Shopping?
- Well...

706
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,480
I'm not sure you're getting
a lot of shopping in there.

707
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,599
Do you think it's to keep
the beer in?

708
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,999
- A beer-pack rather than a backpack?
- Yes.

709
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,199
- Yes.
- It looks great. It's well made.

710
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,480
I like it a lot.

711
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,439
Well, it's a rucksack.

712
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,279
I like the colours of this -
and the decoration.

713
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,760
I think the straps aren't working
exactly as they ought to.

714
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,999
- What do you think it's for?
- It's a courier bag.

715
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,600
It could have done with a close.

716
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,519
So it's waterproof on the outside,

717
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,999
which is why I think it's a sort of
practical outdoor bag.

718
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,559
The positioning of the straps
is a bit uneven.

719
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,800
Yeah, not bad.

720
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,680
{\an8}Well, that's a handbag.

721
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,999
Just cos you can hold it
in your hand

722
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,399
doesn't mean it's a handbag.

723
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,040
I think it's a really nice rendition
of a small, practical gardening bag.

724
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,999
Here we have a music bag.

725
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,879
What makes me think
it's a music bag?

726
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,999
Well, the word "music" on the front,
which is a helpful clue.

727
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,600
I love how they've used
these pockets.

728
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,519
It reminds me of a hat box.

729
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,999
I very much like the combination
of fabrics.

730
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,359
I think it's brilliant.
I love the shape of it.

731
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,879
I love the way that they've
constructed the lid.

732
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,359
The whole thing, I think,
is so nicely conceived.

733
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,320
It's really original
and I like it a lot.

734
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,359
There's a clue as to what goes
into this bag.

735
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,079
It's full of wool.

736
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,119
A couple of simple straps
on the top,

737
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,519
which are attached using
the D-rings.

738
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,600
The straps are a little bit dull
compared to everything else.

739
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,559
Patrick and Esme will now rank
the transformations

740
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,519
from bottom to top.

741
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,999
In 12th place, it's the one with

742
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,439
the tartan pocket.

743
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,639
So that's Tim.

744
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,519
So, it was too much like
the original apron.

745
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,999
OK.

746
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,319
In 11th place is the

747
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,359
green waterproof gardening bag.

748
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,839
That's Lewis.

749
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,439
- Is it a gardening bag?
- I think let's go with that now.

750
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,559
LAUGHTER

751
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,999
Dawn is in tenth place.

752
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,999
Sam, ninth.
Minnie, eighth.

753
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,399
Emma, seventh.
Rebecca, sixth.

754
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,559
Adele, fifth.
Angie, fourth.

755
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,559
And in third place is Heather.

756
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,040
In second place...

757
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,559
...is the crossbody bag in denim.

758
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,999
That's Beth.

759
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,559
- It's really imaginative.
- Thank you.

760
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,519
Which means in first place is
our wonderful hat bag.

761
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,839
That's Anna.

762
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,279
I mean, it is a delight.

763
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,799
The shape of it is amazing.

764
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,439
The engineering is brilliant.

765
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,999
It couldn't be any better.
Well done.

766
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,999
♪ Reach up for the sunrise... ♪
APPLAUSE

767
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,079
I'm really pleased.

768
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,319
I do feel quite relieved.

769
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,559
Well done, Anna!

770
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,359
I feel like I can kind of
breathe a bit.

771
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,479
There we are.

772
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,999
Well, that was a roller-coaster,
wasn't it?

773
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,479
I mean, yeah, tomorrow's a new day -
anything could happen.

774
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,999
And hopefully it'll be better
than today.

775
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,599
Feeling nervous. I am towards
the bottom.

776
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,279
I'm hoping to climb up
the leaderboard.

777
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,239
We shall see what happens.

778
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,239
At the moment, I think I'm the one
in the most trouble.

779
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,479
And I don't think my made-to-measure
will save me.

780
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,519
So I've got to really enjoy it.

781
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,160
♪ Feel the new day enter
your life. ♪

782
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,079

It's a new day in Leeds

785
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,999
and there's one final challenge

786
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,520
and one last chance for the sewers
to shine.

787
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,999
But this week, Patrick and Esme
are shaking things up.

788
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,999
♪ Now I know what I must do... ♪

789
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,599
Welcome back, sewers.

790
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,239
It's the made-to-measure challenge.

791
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,519
The big one.

792
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,399
Now, normally, we ask you to make an
outfit to fit one of our models.

793
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,719
But today, the model is you.

794
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,239
So the judges want you to design
an outfit

795
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,999
for your perfect summer's day.

796
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,279
Now, if you're Esme, that would be
crowd surfing

797
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,999
at a drag brunch after
eight martinis.

798
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,439
I've seen it.

799
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,679
LAUGHTER

800
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,999
And we all know that Patrick -

801
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,800
well, he's very busy with his plums
in summertime.

802
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,999
You've got five hours.

803
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,239
Your time starts now.

804
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Right.

805
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,999
As always, the sewers have been
allowed to practise

806
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,999
their made-to-measures at home.

807
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,719
But making for themselves is a first
in the sewing room.

808
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,239
I'm really excited. Because this
is why I sew.

809
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,239
It's to make something that fits me.

810
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,999
I'm very grateful to be making
something for myself.

811
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,519
Until I probably hit the catwalk,

812
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,479
and then maybe it's a different
story.

813
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,719
You're quite tall.

814
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:14,479
You're perfect to model,
aren't you?

815
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,999
No, because my proportions
are not very normal.

816
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,679
I actually got model scouted
when I was a teenager,

817
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,519
and I had to send my
measurements over.

818
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,599
And they were like,

819
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,840
"No, no - we're not interested
any more."

820
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,839
What is it you're looking for
in this outfit?

821
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,479
Well, I think, firstly,
we want to have

822
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,399
a clear story about the perfect
summer's day.

823
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,359
We want a beautifully made outfit.

824
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,319
It's got to fit them properly.

825
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,359
It's a totally open brief.

826
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,319
So, really, it's an opportunity
to just understand

827
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,759
- a little bit more about them.
- Yeah.

828
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,999
But also, we asked them to wear it.

829
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,999
Is that going to be
more challenging? Less challenging?

830
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,879
It could in some senses be easier -

831
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,599
because it means they can absolutely
practise on the real model at home

832
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,999
- before they've got here.
- Yeah.

833
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,439
But it is much harder fitting
something on yourself

834
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,559
than on somebody else.

835
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,359
Right. Let's see what they
come up with.

836
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,999
- Intrigued.
- Mm-hm.

837
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,279
Today's a new day.

838
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,959
And, you know, I love this pattern

839
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,159
and I love what the outfit
means to me.

840
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,999
So I'm looking forward to it.

841
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,719
I've had a bit of a shaky start
to the competition,

842
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:16,639
so I need to make sure
that I deliver.

843
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,599
- Hi.
- Hello. What are you making?

844
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,719
I am going to be making a wrap dress

845
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,999
out of this lovely farmer's market
fabric.

846
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,999
Because my perfect summer's day
is a day with my fiance

847
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,359
- at the local farmer's market.
- Very good.

848
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,999
{\an8}Rebecca's wrap dress will feature

849
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,519
{\an8}contrasting statement ruffles
and inseam pockets.

850
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,679
{\an8}And she's leaving nothing to chance.

851
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,479
It took quite a few tries to get
the fit just right.

852
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,199
So how have you done the fitting
for this one?

853
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,999
So this is just a lot of mock-ups.

854
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,519
Er, so, if you see, it has been
cut up and taped.

855
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,199
- Because originally there was a lot
of ease in the bust.
- OK.

856
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,319
So it was really gaping,

857
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,999
and I knew that you wouldn't
like that.

858
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,239
- No, we wouldn't.
- And I didn't like that.

859
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:57,559
So I'm hoping that the fit
will work -

860
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,599
as long as I haven't changed shape
significantly since last weekend.

861
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,999
While Rebecca's neckline
could end up a bit saucy,

862
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,639
Adele's outfit will definitely
be fruity.

863
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,399
My perfect summer's day
is strawberry picking

864
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,119
with my children and just wearing
a really nice, pretty dress.

865
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,359
It's more fun.

866
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,999
Adele's strawberry print dress

867
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,559
will have a fitted lined bodice
with puff sleeves,

868
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,999
an invisible zip and a floaty
gathered skirt.

869
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,999
This is how I imagine
parenthood.

870
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,679
You know, me looking whimsical
and beautiful,

871
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,999
picking strawberries.

872
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,759
The reality of it is, like,
one of them

873
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,999
is probably going to be sick on it.

874
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,319
And they'll be shouting at me
and it'll be horrible.

875
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,439
- But it's nice to have the vision.
- Yeah.

876
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,999
Tim's looked to love for his outfit.

877
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,159
It's inspired by my wedding.

878
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,439
I'm making a waistcoat and a pair
of wrap pants.

879
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,679
I made us both a pair of waistcoats

880
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,679
in the same fabric that I'm using.

881
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,279
And obviously, it was the best day
of my life.

882
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,999
{\an8}Staking his place in the competition
on an ambitious two-piece,

883
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,999
{\an8}Tim's rap trousers will feature
contrast pockets

884
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,319
{\an8}and a button fly -

885
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,999
{\an8}topped by his boxy, lined waistcoat.

886
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,999
I need to really smash this out of
the park

887
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,719
to hoick myself out of
the relegation zone.

888
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,719
Also hoping to sew his way
to safety is Sam.

889
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:15,279
The perfect summer's day is,
like, on holiday,

890
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,599
being around a pool all day.

891
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,439
Then just walk down a coastal path
to, like, a restaurant.

892
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,679
- Nice.
- So I'm making a linen shirt
and chino trousers.

893
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,439
Very ambitious.

894
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,479
I'm just seeing what I can do,
and hopefully you enjoy it.

895
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,999
{\an8}Sam's chinos will have an
elasticated waistband

896
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,359
{\an8}and pockets, while his
short sleeve shirt

897
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,199
{\an8}comes with a classic collar,
button fastening and a patch pocket.

898
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,999
{\an8}The shirt - so are we looking
at loose fit

899
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,519
{\an8}or a relatively snug fit?

900
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,759
I'll probably wear it open,
to be honest with you -

901
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:46,999
- just because that's how...
- Open?

902
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,319
Yeah.

903
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,319
I'll have the T-shirt underneath, though.

904
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,519
Cheeky!

905
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,999
Esme would prefer a topless catwalk,
but I'm not giving it her.

906
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,679
For the first time ever,

907
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,799
the sewers will be strutting
their stuff

908
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,880
and modelling their own creations.

909
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,999
Modelling - when I heard it,
I was a bit like...

910
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,199
MINNIE GROANS
"Do I have to?"

911
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,479
Let's try a little walk.

912
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,719
- Let's get you prepared, Lewis.
- OK.
- Come on.
- OK.

913
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,159
- You'll be shocked to know
I've never catwalked.
- OK.

914
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,999
But I just ooze sensuality.

915
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,400
- It's exhausting, actually.
- I know, yeah.

916
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,199
LAUGHTER

917
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,999
- Less arms! Less arms!
- Less arms?

918
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,759
- Look how long my arms are!
- Enjoy them!

919
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,559
I had to extend these about
ten inches.

920
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,719
{\an8}Lewis will be squeezing
his long arms

921
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,279
{\an8}into a fisherman's smock

922
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,719
{\an8}with pleated patch pockets -

923
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:36,999
{\an8}and flashing his knees in a pair
of elasticated shorts.

924
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,599
My dad's got a smock
a bit like this.

925
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,439
It's something that I remember
seeing him wearing

926
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,839
on holiday in France.

927
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,999
So they've kind of got a bit of
a summer thing for me.

928
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,999
So we've got two pockets.

929
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,159
They have a tiny bit of expansion
in them.

930
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,999
You could definitely get two beers
in there.

931
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,719
Whatever their usage, pockets are
a popular choice

932
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:55,159
in the sewing room.

933
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,999
Esme does like a pocket.
LAUGHTER

934
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,359
Actually, going to Glasto fest is
what's inspired my outfit today.

935
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,999
I'm making, like, a cargo-style
pant.

936
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,239
And the top is just quite
a small top.

937
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:09,159
Because, really, you shouldn't be
wearing too many clothes,

938
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,439
I feel like, at Glasto.

939
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:11,639
{\an8}As well as pockets,

940
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,479
{\an8}Beth's Glasto pants will be pleated
for volume -

941
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,679
{\an8}with elasticated ankles
and an invisible zip.

942
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,879
While her stretched bandeau top
will have a halter neck tie

943
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,599
matching her trousers.

944
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,479
It's quite a thick strap,
so it has...

945
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,999
So it's got one-way stretch,
or two-way?

946
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,999
- It goes both.
- No, it's one-way stretch.

947
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,799
Is it not? OK. Yeah, no,
you're right.

948
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,759
I'm going to be stretching it
this way.

949
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,679
Let's hope so!

950
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,679
Beth's not the only sewer
using stretch fabric.

951
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,999
Try not to stretch it out of shape.

952
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,319
I'm making quite a simple dress,

953
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,759
but it will fit me.

954
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,999
My perfect summer's day
is walking

955
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,719
on the beach with a little dog

956
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,079
and then going for supper
afterwards.

957
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,879
{\an8}Gambling with simplicity,

958
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,759
Dawn's easy fit stretch dress will
have a cover-stitched neckline

959
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,280
and will be topped with a chiffon
jacket and a small doggy bag.

960
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,679
Because the dress is simple, it has
to be really well made.

961
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,279
So I wanted to show diversity of
using the cover stitch machine.

962
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,479
I hope it works out,

963
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,439
and I think it'll look
really pretty.

964
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,679
Emma's diving in at the deep end
with her outfit.

965
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,719
Swimwear can be quite a difficult
fabric to work with

966
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,999
because it stretches
in all directions,

967
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,359
so it can make it slightly
challenging.

968
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,079
I'm making a pair of high waisted
trousers with this fabric.

969
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,839
And with the same design,

970
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,519
but four-way stretch fabric,

971
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,999
I'm making a swimsuit.

972
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,559
Because my perfect summer's day
would always include a swim.

973
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,159
{\an8}Emma's swimsuit will feature
cut-outs and gathered cups,

974
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,199
{\an8}while her trousers come with pockets

975
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,959
{\an8}and a self-drafted bow tie
fastening.

976
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,519
- Wow, like a giant bow tie.
- Like a giant bow tie.

977
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,879
- OK.
- So my dad taught me how to tie
a bow tie,

978
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,399
and I just thought it would be
a nice little memento to my dad.

979
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,719
- Cute. Nice story. Yeah, very nice.
- You're going to see me...

980
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,479
-
- ...in my swimsuit.
- Are we?

981
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,399
- I think you will.
- How are your legs?

982
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,559
My legs are great! Sure,
look at them!

983
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,040
LAUGHTER

984
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,999
I'm knackered!

985
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,919
Sewers, you're halfway!

986
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,519
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

987
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,759
The panic!

988
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:17,999
Bloody hell!

989
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,999
This is my Superman look!

990
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,279
Yay!

991
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,999
Oh, jeez. It's gone all gathered.

992
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,519
It's on the shoulders.

993
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,839
Happy with that.

994
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,999
I've put in the 12 pleats.

995
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,159
I'm just topstitching all of them.

996
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,879
This is an invisible zip.

997
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,839
They can sense fear.

998
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,999
So I'm making an outfit
for a picnic,

999
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,399
and it's all going to be made
out of vintage tablecloths.

1000
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,519
It's very inspired by sort of
Victorian underwear.

1001
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:44,679
Why would you have knickers

1002
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,479
when you could have some
frilly bloomers?

1003
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,999
Oh, my God, the waistline
doesn't quite match up.

1004
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,159
Anna's picnic two-piece consists
of a milkmaid-style top

1005
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,999
with buttons, elasticated shoulders
and red bows,

1006
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,999
{\an8}and bloomers with an
elasticated hem.

1007
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,519
How are you getting on?

1008
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,759
Good. Yeah, they're nearly finished.

1009
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,879
So I'm going to put, like, elastic -
so it's going to gather into...

1010
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,359
- OK.
- ...a bloomer.

1011
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,159
You should try it on

1012
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,999
- before you put the elastic in
to see what it's like.
- Mm.

1013
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,639
- OK. What, you think...?
- Have a look.

1014
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,839
Yeah, I'll try. I'll try. Thank you.

1015
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,199
I need to just try on the shorts

1016
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,839
and see whether I even bother
gathering it.

1017
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,639
Anna's not the only sewer grappling
with gathers.

1018
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,639
-
- This material - so much
embroidery on it,

1019
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,999
which makes it stiffer.

1020
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,439
It doesn't gather very well.

1021
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,639
- Hello.
- Hello!

1022
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,959
Tell us about the outfit.

1023
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,999
I am making a full-length dress,
and it is fully lined.

1024
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,999
- Wow.
- It's a bit Regency shaped.

1025
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,679
- OK.
- And my perfect summer's day
will be having a day out

1026
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,119
in a National Trust.

1027
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,519
Finish off at the tea room.

1028
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,639
- Have an afternoon tea.
- Yeah, OK.

1029
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,999
Minnie's afternoon tea dress comes
with an empire line bodice,

1030
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,399
puffed sleeves

1031
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,279
and a full gathered skirt
with inseam pockets.

1032
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,359
It's fancy enough to go to
a posh tea room.

1033
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,759
Just me and my husband.

1034
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,759
And no children.

1035
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,319
Sorry, children.

1036
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,599
My ideal day is me and my boyfriend
kind of just, like,

1037
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,239
milling around Chelsea.

1038
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:14,479
So, yeah, fun dress.

1039
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,799
It's based on some of the favourite
shops that I go into

1040
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,999
when we kind of do that walk.

1041
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,719
Heather's Chelsea day dress
will feature straps,

1042
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:21,999
inseam pockets,

1043
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,919
an invisible zip and
decorative piping.

1044
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,279
So I'm currently pinning the piping
to the bottom of the bodice.

1045
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,599
A little bit fiddly, but it will
have, like,

1046
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,519
a little red trim at the bottom.

1047
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,679
Heather's not the only sewer
dealing with fiddly bits.

1048
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,239
It's got tricky details.

1049
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:37,559
There's no quick way around it.

1050
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,759
For me, British summer time is
going on day trips to London.

1051
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,079
I'm always in a dress.

1052
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,799
I like the way dresses swish.

1053
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,279
Angie's swishy dress will have
a lined, close-fitting bodice

1054
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,599
set-in sleeves

1055
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,159
{\an8}and a skirt finished with a flounce.

1056
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,559
I don't know what a flounce is,
but I love the name.

1057
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,879
A flounce is...

1058
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,999
- I'll show you a flounce.
- Oh, it's lovely.

1059
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,879
- Very, very swishy.
- Yeah.

1060
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,199
- It's all for the twirl.
- I'm going to flounce off now.

1061
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,679
LAUGHTER

1062
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,719
- Flounce, flounce, flounce...
- Flounce.

1063
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,319
Do you know what? I think Esme
might be right.

1064
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,199
They do look quite nice ungathered.

1065
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,839
Have just sewn the zip.

1066
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,719
The top of the zip lines up.

1067
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:15,679
Really happy with that.

1068
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,639
I'm on the home straight
for the trousers.

1069
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:19,999
Quite chuffed with them.

1070
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,359
Hem on the trousers.

1071
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,719
Then it's all shirt.

1072
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:24,240
It'll be down to the wire, like.

1073
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,839
-
- Yeah, hmm!

1074
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,319
Patrick, put your plums away.

1075
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,679
We've only got one hour.

1076
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,519
We've got one hour!

1077
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,359
Oh, my giddy kipper!

1078
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,999
I need to concentrate now.

1079
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,879
I'm popping the pocket on.

1080
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,679
I've got to move on to the vest.
So this is only half the outfit.

1081
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,639
Ah! The cover stitch machine
has chewed it all up.

1082
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,319
It's a disaster, that is.

1083
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,719
There isn't a plan B for this.

1084
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,199
I've done my swimsuit.

1085
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,920
So, now, trousers.

1086
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,399
Tiny, tiny bit short.

1087
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,719
And now we're onto shorts.

1088
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,559
I think I'm going to have to make
some compromises.

1089
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,279
Because I think under an hour
isn't going to finish it.

1090
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,559
So I think I'll have to have
a little tuck

1091
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,399
at the top of the sleeve -
rather than easing.

1092
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,999
I've decided that I'm not going
to cover stitch the neck.

1093
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,359
For whatever reason, it's not
quite working.

1094
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,399
Happy with that.

1095
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,999
So now it is ruffling time,
part two.

1096
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,159
I've got a bit of gaping
in the back.

1097
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,159
- Turn around. Half an inch.
- Each seam?

1098
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,999
- Yeah, it'll be fine.
- Yeah. Thank you.

1099
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,999
-
- How are you getting on?
- Oh, swimmingly.

1100
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,999
- Swimmingly?
- Yeah, not telling you
like I did yesterday.

1101
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,639
So you're binding all of that neck?

1102
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,999
Yeah, because I tried to
cover-stitch everything,

1103
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,479
- but it's chewed it all up.
- OK.

1104
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,439
So I thought I'd do
a little binding.

1105
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,079
I'm attaching the waistcoat lining.

1106
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,999
It's going badly.

1107
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,319
I've just been sewing for ages
with no thread in.

1108
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,559
Tim, I think, still has a lot
of construction

1109
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,519
- to do on the waistcoat.
- Oh, has he?

1110
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,399
Yeah. It was still in bits.

1111
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,439
Well, I think I'll leave the dress
to one side.

1112
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,119
Just focus on this little jacket.

1113
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,999
When I've finished the jacket,
I'll look at the dress again.

1114
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,999
I can't look it in the eye
at the moment.

1115
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,479
Dawn has decided to change the way
she's finishing the neckline.

1116
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,999
The dress is very, very simple.

1117
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,439
Just a lack of ambition.

1118
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,719
Yes, that's true.

1119
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:14,199
For me, what's really important
is creativity.

1120
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,519
I just need to sit at this machine
and sew.

1121
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,079
Sam's onto the shirt.

1122
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,839
He's still got to make the collar,

1123
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,799
- put the collar on, hem the sleeves,
hem the shirt.
- Press it.

1124
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,999
And we've still got buttons
and buttonholes.

1125
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,439
How long left is it, though, now?

1126
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,799
We've got 30 minutes!

1127
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,359
Oh, God.

1128
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,519
I've got to finish it. Otherwise
I will be going home.

1129
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,839
On to the bow tie. Super fast.

1130
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,399
I'm going to make sure that none of
the lining faces out the front.

1131
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,999
I hated invisible zips.

1132
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,999
I've practised this so much.

1133
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,159
I can do this!

1134
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,439
A little bit of finishing to do,
but I have a dress.

1135
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,359
That is amazing!

1136
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,239
It's not really Prada.

1137
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:53,359
It's more Primarni.

1138
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,719
Right, now, what am I going to do
about this? This shambles?

1139
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:57,119
How long have we got left?

1140
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,319
You've got ten minutes left.

1141
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,199
Oh! I'm just putting on the flounce.

1142
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,439
Just discovered a catastrophic
error.

1143
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,519
I spent ages slip-stitching
the side seams,

1144
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,399
but I was stitching them
to themselves.

1145
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,719
What was I thinking?!

1146
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:11,759
The neck won't be how I planned.

1147
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:12,999
It'll finish it off.

1148
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,599
It'll finish me off -
I know that.

1149
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,239
I'm doing a buttonhole.

1150
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:17,639
I'm really cutting it fine.

1151
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,720
I've done my best invisible zip
of my life.

1152
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,799
You've got five minutes.

1153
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,839
So I'm now making a poo bag.

1154
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,399
OK, how many bows can we do
and where shall they go?

1155
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,799
I'm butchering this hem, though.

1156
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,999
I am very glad it's nearly over.

1157
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,319
- It's lovely. What's this?
- It's a poo bag.

1158
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Right, OK.

1159
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,559
- Do you want to explain?
- For poo!

1160
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,200
- For whose poo?
- Oh, the dog poo.

1161
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,399
You've got one minute!

1162
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:43,679
Oh, my goodness!

1163
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,679
My future on this show is
by no means certain.

1164
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,479
It's going to be crazy to the wire,
man!

1165
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,079
Get yourself dressed!

1166
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,519
Oh!

1167
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,679
EMMA LAUGHS

1168
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,559
- Go, go, go. Keep going.
- You're a real sweetheart.

1169
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,559
The trouble is, I haven't set in
the lining.

1170
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,399
Needles up!

1171
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,319
You've just finished your first
made-to-measure challenge!

1172
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,199
Give yourselves a round of applause!

1173
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,679
Woo!

1174
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,040

You were really having fun
going down the catwalk.

1185
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Oh, thank you, Esme.

1186
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,679
In terms of the fit,
it's an easy fit.

1187
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,999
The shoulder looks a little bunched.

1188
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,159
Just gathering a little bit here.

1189
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,439
When I came to see you, you were
talking about changing

1190
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,879
the way you were finishing
the neck opening.

1191
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,039
And actually, you've managed that
very well.

1192
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,239
But the dress is very simple.

1193
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:03,759
♪ Lazing on a sunny afternoon

I love this fabric.

1196
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,479
Thank you very much.

1197
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,759
- It's got lining in, hasn't it?
- Yeah.

1198
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,999
And it fits really well here.

1199
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,479
I think it's a really, really nice
choice of shape.

1200
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,639
Obviously, the fabric has these
embroidered elements,

1201
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,479
which are a little bit bulkier.

1202
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,399
So it's not gathering
perfectly evenly.

1203
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,159
I think it falls very nicely.

1204
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,399
- It's a triumph. Well done.
- Thank you.

1205

- Thank you.

1208
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,799
You've fitted the trousers
fantastically well.

1209
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,559
The shirt looks just right.

1210
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,399
Turn you round to the back.

1211
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,359
- Bottom hem, you've just got
a little tuck.
- Yeah.

1212
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,719
Just at the back there.

1213
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:48,559
Turn you back round to the front.

1214
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:49,999
Pocket - crisp, neat.

1215
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,839
The sharpest corners here.

1216
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,159
I think these buttons are great -
that they go with the trousers.

1217
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,999
- I think there is so much that's good
about this.
- Thank you.

Sits pretty good.

1223
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,839
The fit is beautiful.

1224
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,679
It just looks light and effortless.

1225
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,040

I love the accessorisation with just
these little points of red.

1229
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,399
Can I turn you around?

1230
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,599
Neat and tidy throughout.

1231
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,719
All of the sewing is really,
really exemplary.

1232
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:44,319
So, you haven't elasticated?

1233
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,599
Yeah. Because the embroidery's
so lovely,

1234
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,599
- it's nice to see it.
- Yes, I agree.

1235
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:49,999
How did you get into it?

1236
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,479
- Have you got a zip?
- It's a zipper at the back.

1237
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,999
- Oh, yes.
- Mm-hm.

1238
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,319
It's not quite lining up here,
but I'm being absolutely...

1239

- This hole here?
- Yeah.
- Turn around.

1245
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,919
I very much like the wrap trousers.

1246
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,999
This is a bit lower than the front.

1247
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,879
I think there's a lot going on.

1248
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,559
We've got a square fly.

1249
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,999
We've got curved panels.

1250
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,599
It's quite busy.

1251
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,079
Let's have a look at the waistcoat.

1252
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,639
You haven't understitched this edge.

1253
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,719
And as a result, we've just got
that yellow

1254
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:34,119
rolling out to the front.

1255
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,479
And again, the armhole -
it's just bouncing.

1256
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,159
And that's accentuating the fact
that it's a little bit

1257
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,439
loose across the front.

1258
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,679
You gave yourself a lot to do.

1259
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,239
I think some of it you just haven't
handled quite to perfection.

Piping is really even.

1264
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,759
The fit looks absolutely
first-rate.

1265
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,199
Turn you around.

1266
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,479
You've got an invisible zip
at the back.

1267

It's not absolutely perfect,
but it's not bad.

1268

We've just got a slight
bit of visibility here.

of lining

showing through at the top.

1280
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,119
I mean, there are some
execution flaws.

Yeah.

1287
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,999
Which tells me that it's a bit short
in the front.

1288
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,639
I really like this pocket shape.

1289
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,239
I really like the pleat
on the front.

1290
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:57,399
I feel like the pockets want to be
a bit deeper.

- Yeah, a bit roomier.

The catwalk was definitely
a new experience.

1330
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,999
Actually walking and being able to
wear what you've made

1331
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,999
down the runway was very cool.

1332
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,679
I think I've gone for something
too simple.

1333
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,079
Whether that will be enough,
we'll see.

out of the relegation zone?

Mm, I don't think so.

00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,840
So sorry. You've been absolutely
fabulous.

1353
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,319
Well, I feel sad about going home,

1354
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,199
but I think they made
the right decision.

1355
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,240
These wonderful bees are here,
and they're all so talented.

1356
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,999
- I've had a lovely time!
- Good.

1357
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,359
I've been lucky to have good and bad
experiences in my life,

1358
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,639
but this will be definitely up there
with the best of them.

1359
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,599
You've done brilliantly. Well done.

1360
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,679
Dawn should feel extraordinarily
proud.

1361
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,999
It's very difficult to decide
who went home this week.

1362
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,799
On one hand, we had Tim.

1363
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,159
Tonnes of ambition,

1364
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,879
execution that let him down.

1365
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,399
And on the other hand, Dawn.

1366
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:39,759
Pretty good execution,

1367
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,279
but just a lack of ambition.

1368
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,239
And ultimately, the reason we chose
to keep Tim

1369
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,999
was because we wanted to reward
his ambition.

1370
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,720
I'm so happy. It's so gorgeous.

1371
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,999
Congratulations! It's amazing!

1372
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,439
To have won Garment of the Week

1373
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,839
in the first week is just, like,
a dream come true.

1374
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,679
I didn't expect it at all.

1375
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,999
So I am feeling a little bit,
oh, proud of myself.

1376
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,439
A lot of the sewers seem creative,

1377
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,400
so I am excited to see what
they come up with next.

1378
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,879
- Next time...
- Game on!
- Out the way!

1379
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,799
...it's Colour and Prints Week.

1380
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,599
I love colour.

1381
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,639
The sewers tackle tricky tops...

1382
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,279
Made a right meal of this.

1383
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,999
...we discover old hues...

1384
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,599
What are we doing torturing
ourselves with this lot?

1385
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,639
...and explore their shady side...

1386
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,079
It's terrific.

1387
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,479
...with one-colour outfits.

1388
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,399
- This is mad!
- Oh, shoot!

1389
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,479
I feel like I'm going to explode,
you know?

1390
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,919
If there's a mistake now,
nowt I can do about it.

1391
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,399
Oh, no!

1392
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:40,879
