1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,280
- Last time...
- Aha!

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,160
..it was
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Week.

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,640
These look a bit like poo bags.

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,840
Anna's 18th-century gown...

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,280
It's brilliant.

6
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,200
..took the crown.

7
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,200
CHEERING

8
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,640
Tim's knickers...

9
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,320
I'm just stretching everything!

10
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,800
..got him in a twist.

11
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,120
It's all over the place.

12
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,840
But it was Angie...

13
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,800
My bobbin's just ran out,
that's the end of that.

14
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,920
..whose sewing room dreams...

15
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,960
Angie.

16
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,560
..ended up as scrap.

17
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,760
It's been so special.
I feel really fortunate.

18
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,800
This time...

19
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,840
Hola, guapa!

20
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,720
..we celebrate Mexico...

21
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,120
- I've even got my little
Frida Kahlo pin on.
- Oh, nice!

22
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,160
..with a guest judge...

23
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,600
Wow. For me, this is a piece of art.

24
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,240
..a fiddly folkloric top...

25
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,360
Oh, shoot.

26
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,480
..a transformation
that scares them rigid...

27
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,920
Oh!

28
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,160
..and a fiesta-inspired
made-to-measure.

29
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,880
It's a party
so it should look the part.

30
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,920
Who will win the carnival crown?

31
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,920
That was really good.

32
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720
And for which sewer
is the party over?

33
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Sometimes you do
the most idiotic things.

34
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,080
I don't.

35
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,320
MUSIC: The Great British Sewing Bee
theme by Ian Livingstone

36
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,200
Mexico Week. Hola, guapa!

37
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,760
I do teach Spanish

38
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,920
to seven-year-olds
so I can do the basics.

39
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,960
Uno, dos, tres...
No! That's not even... Is it?

40
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,400
When I think of Mexico,
I think of vivid colours

41
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,800
and just really vibrant scenes.

42
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,560
What does spring to mind?
Margaritas!

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,760
Hola, mi amigos! Come forward.

44
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Close your eyes.

45
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,240
I'm going to transport you
to another land.

46
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
You're not cold and cranky
in a converted mill in Yorkshire.

47
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,160
No, no.

48
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,160
LAUGHTER

49
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,720
That's not drizzle you hear.

50
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080
That's somebody shaking you up
a margarita...

51
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,000
..because you're in Mexico!

52
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,640
- Wow.
- Do you feel it? Yes!
THEY REPLY CHEERILY

53
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,960
So, this week's theme is Mexico -

54
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,280
a beautiful country
rich in cultural heritage

55
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
and with a long history
of fashion and textiles.

56
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,680
And joining our fabulous judges here
is a special guest judge -

57
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Erika Alvarez.

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,000
APPLAUSE

59
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Erika Alvarez is
a fashion entrepreneur

60
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,320
whose work showcases
Mexican craftsmanship.

61
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,680
We have across 68 indigenous
communities in Mexico

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,080
and plenty of colourful
and beautiful designs

63
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,640
to share with the world.

64
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,320
Her collections blend traditional
textiles with contemporary design.

65
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080
The only way to impress
is to be unique

66
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560
and put soul in what you are doing.

67
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,680
Hello!

68
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
I'm Erika Alvarez.
I'm very pleased to be here

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,040
to celebrate Mexican fashion
and textiles this week.

70
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Esme, what have you got for them?

71
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Here we go.

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,120
- I'm going to keep it for myself.
- Aw.

73
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,960
Wowzy.

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,120
So, we've given you a pattern
for a Mexican folkloric top.

75
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,840
It's loose-fitting,
and it's got ribbon and braid on it.

76
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,040
It's a simple top, so we are
expecting beautiful decoration,

77
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,640
perfectly spaced and perfectly sewn.

78
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,840
The fabrics that
you will be using today

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,480
are made by people in the
Oaxaca region on a loom

80
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,320
from recycled cotton.

81
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,440
You've got 3½ hours. Vamos!

82
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,880
CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM

83
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520
The sewers are limited to
one length of Oaxacan fabric.

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280
- Oh, I was going to go for that.
- I'm sorry.

85
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720
But they can choose however much
trim they'd like to embellish it.

86
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Is that too many?
I don't want to be greedy here.

87
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Grab it, take it, figure it out.

88
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080
I've never worked with something
as beautiful as this.

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,560
I can't stop touching it!

90
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,000
I wanted the beige

91
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
but I wasn't willing to have
a scrap with Anna about it.

92
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,000
HE CHUCKLES

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Essentially, the back and
the front is just one piece

94
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,120
and it's folded with
a hole for your head.

95
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,800
Simple patterns are quite scary

96
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,680
because they need to be
really precisely done.

97
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,400
So, Erika, talk me through this top.

98
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,680
In Mexico, we have plenty of designs
for this folkloric top.

99
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,800
In the communities that I work with,

100
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,240
the designs portray how they see
the environment they are living.

101
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,440
So, apart from the ribbon on the top
and the one on the bottom,

102
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,200
I'm looking to see
the creativity inside this space.

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,440
On the pattern,

104
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,160
we have marked where the outside

105
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,120
of the outside ribbon needs to go,

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,600
which will then dictate where
they put any subsequent ribbons.

107
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,400
- Because it's very simple,
the sewing has to be accurate.
- Yeah.

108
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,320
Everything is in parallel lines,

109
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,200
and if they're not,
it'll be very obvious.

110
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,480
Is there anything else
they need to consider?

111
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,080
They have to go round the corner.

112
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,640
They've got to mitre
the nice, clean right angle.

113
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
We've also asked them
to put the facing on

114
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
before they sew
this last line of braid

115
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,000
and that is to secure
the facing behind -

116
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
so it is important that they
do it in the right order.

117
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Well, I can't wait
to see how they get on.

118
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
- Viva Mexico!
- Oh! Viva Mexico!

119
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080
It's really cool that
it's hand-woven fabric.

120
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,120
It does make it feel much more
special to work with.

121
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Part of me's crying inside
because it's so pretty,

122
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,360
I got cutting anxiety.

123
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,200
The Mexican folkloric top is
made from two patterned pieces

124
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,720
and lengths of trim.

125
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,720
First, interfacing is fused
to the neck-facing piece,

126
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,320
and then put to one side.

127
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Next, the sewers position

128
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,120
their choice of outermost
and innermost ribbons,

129
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,880
leaving space in between

130
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080
to get creative with
their own unique design.

131
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Once happy with how
they're arranged,

132
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,720
each ribbon is topstitched
in place along all of its edges,

133
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,520
folding at each corner
to create a neat mitre.

134
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,480
Before topstitching
the innermost ribbon,

135
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,040
the neck hole is cut out,

136
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,000
and the facing is attached and
turned through for a clean finish.

137
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,480
The final ribbon is then
topstitched in place,

138
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,280
securing the facing behind.

139
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,400
The top is folded at the shoulders

140
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,920
and side seams are sewn up
to the armhole.

141
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Finally, the armholes and hem

142
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,320
are turned under and stitched

143
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
and the top is given a final press.

144
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,240
- Hello!
- Hello.

145
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,440
You chose a nice colour.

146
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,680
It's, like, really open to put
many colours as you want.

147
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,200
That's exactly what I was thinking.

148
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640
I sort of wanted
a neutral background,

149
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000
and then I've gone for
a variety of coloured ribbons.

150
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,360
Ooh. They are all
different colour palettes

151
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,520
so it's a little bit...
challenging, I guess.

152
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,920
- I cannot picture it well in my head.
- I don't know if I can't either!

153
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,720
- Hopefully, it'll tie together
on there...
- Yeah.

154
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,320
- Let's hope so.
- Yeah.

155
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,280
"Fuse interfacing
to the facing piece."

156
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,000
{\an8}Just making sure I've got the
right side of the interfacing down

157
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,560
{\an8}to make sure that
the glue is definitely

158
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,320
{\an8}going to go on the fabric
and not my iron.

159
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,760
It's amazing, actually, to think
of the people who sat and made this.

160
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,200
It's a real handmade fabric.

161
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,080
I feel like I just really
want to do it justice.

162
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,200
I don't want it to come all the way
to England and then get butchered.

163
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Oh, shoot.

164
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,360
{\an8}Oh, I'm having a bit
of a nightmare with this.

165
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,360
{\an8}I put my iron on too hot,
melted my interfacing.

166
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920
{\an8}Right. We're just going to patch it.
It's fine. Everything's fine.

167
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,360
- Hola!
- Hola, Sophie.

168
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400
- Have you been to Mexico?
- I haven't been to Mexico.

169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
- To be honest, I can't really
afford the sun cream.
- Right!

170
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,280
I'd need that much sun cream
for all my family.

171
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,720
- What factor do you wear?
- Factor 50.
- I do.
- And all my kids.

172
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
I think that's just wise, in't it?
You keep safe.

173
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Now, we are starting to do the trims
and the braids, I think.

174
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680
With trims in all sorts of
thicknesses and colours on offer...

175
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,560
Pink, blue, pink, blue. Yes.

176
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,400
..the sewers must decide
how to arrange them

177
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,440
for the strongest visual impact.

178
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,360
{\an8}I've managed to pick ones that are
all of slightly different width,

179
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,640
{\an8}so I think maybe we're going to go
chunky, and work our way down.

180
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880
{\an8}So, I'll do one of this because
if you do a really wide one,

181
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,080
{\an8}you're going to have to put
the others really tight and narrow.

182
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,280
- Hello!
- Good morning.
- Good morning, good morning.

183
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,920
{\an8}You've gone with all quite

184
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800
{\an8}- thin ones, haven't you?
- Yeah.

185
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Have you any idea how to
accommodate all the ribbons?

186
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280
I will be going from thin to thick,

187
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,320
or going from thin to thick,
thin to thick.

188
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,120
{\an8}You haven't really got
any thick, though.

189
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,600
{\an8}That's slightly thicker.

190
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,560
- That's what you're calling
the thicker one. OK.
- OK...

191
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,640
You need to think, do you prefer
more plain or more crowded?

192
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,360
Just placing my teal
and gold ribbons on.

193
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,960
They're all quite jazzy -
it being Mexico.

194
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760
As the sewers change
the direction of their trim...

195
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,200
It's just about turning
90 degrees twice,

196
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
so you end up with
a 45-degree fold.

197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,920
..they need to form mitred corners
for an elegant finish.

198
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,960
A mitre in carpentry
looks really nice

199
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,960
because they go together at a 90.

200
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,000
But with fabric, there's
so much wiggle and movement,

201
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,720
that makes it a little bit harder.

202
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,440
I did my trim before and it
didn't work out very well,

203
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,640
so I'm trying to make sure
I get this right.

204
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,280
{\an8}The instructions say to pin. And,
as you can see, I am not pinning.

205
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,120
{\an8}Oh, look at that. I've managed to
pattern match my little ribbon join.

206
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,280
{\an8}Oh.

207
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,360
{\an8}Now, that, sadly, does not look
right. But there we go. Ugh.

208
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,560
It's gone pretty well.

209
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,880
I've pinned all the outer edge.
Looks pretty good.

210
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Once decided on the layout
of their ribbons,

211
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,200
the sewers can start attaching them.

212
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,320
I'm just sewing on my first ribbon.

213
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960
I am so nervous, my arm hurts.

214
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640
My corners look really neat.
So far, so good.

215
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,240
- Hola!
- Hello.
- Are you excited
for Mexico Week?
- I am, yeah.

216
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,160
- I've even got my little Frida Kahlo
pin on.
- Oh, nice!

217
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,080
Oh... She's not Mexican,
though, is she?

218
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
- Yeah. Frida Kahlo.
- She is Mexican?
- Yeah, yeah.

219
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,600
- I thought she was Nicaraguan,
actually.
- Oh? Was she?

220
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,080
- No, she was Mexican.
- Oh, no, she is Mexican!

221
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960
{\an8}I've got one layer of trim attached.

222
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,440
{\an8}So, now, I have to do this
all over again.

223
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,200
You're halfway through!

224
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,720
Okey-dokey.

225
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,440
I'm just putting my
second ribbon on.

226
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,680
It's quite a stretchy fabric, like
the lace, but I think it looks nice.

227
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,000
{\an8}I just need to make sure that
the gap between the two ribbons

228
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,200
{\an8}stays constant.

229
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Oh, God.

230
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Some of my spacing is not,

231
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,000
like, millimetre perfect.

232
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Maybe I should have pinned.

233
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:21,920
So, you've had a look around now.

234
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,800
They're all very creative,
aren't they?

235
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Yeah. Different perspective,
different taste.

236
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,600
{\an8}The folkloric top is
what they're making today.

237
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920
{\an8}But what are the other
Mexican outfits?

238
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,320
So, this is a huipil -

239
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,520
a sacred garment usually worn by
women in Mexico and Central America.

240
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,320
This one is from Yucatan.

241
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,360
Here we have a huipil from Oaxaca.

242
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,320
Just the people that belongs
to those communities

243
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
have the right to create them.

244
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,360
And the names of the garments,
they are also sacred.

245
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,760
This is a huipil -
this is not a blouse or a kaftan.

246
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,280
So, what's the difference between
the folkloric top and the huipil?

247
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,720
A folkloric top is
their own interpretation,

248
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,960
using their own creativity

249
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,040
of a blouse that can represent
the Mexican culture.

250
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,680
- So, I wait to see.
- Yeah. Exciting.

251
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Una hora!

252
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,800
- Jeepers!
- One hour left.

253
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,400
{\an8}I'm happy with the ribbons.

254
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280
{\an8}I now need to cut out the neck hole

255
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280
{\an8}and attach the facing.

256
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,440
A well-sown facing creates
a neat, stable neckline.

257
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120
I'm going to stitch around,

258
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,520
and then I'm going to
sort of fold it inside,

259
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,800
and that means you won't
have any visible raw edges.

260
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,600
{\an8}The facing needs to be added
before the last ribbon

261
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040
{\an8}for the ribbon to secure it inside.

262
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520
So, I've sewn all my ribbons.

263
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,520
I'm just about to do my facing.

264
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,080
Uh-oh.

265
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,520
I think I've done this wrong.

266
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,600
Have you?

267
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,720
Yes. I've put my neckline
ribbon on already,

268
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,440
so that's going to be tricky.

269
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Aye-yi-yi!

270
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,400
MINNIE SIGHS

271
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,960
How are you getting on?

272
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,920
- Uh, not great.
- What do you mean, not great?

273
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,800
MINNIE CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY

274
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000
- I did the neckline ribbon
before I put the facing on.
- Oh...

275
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,960
- You shouldn't have told me.
- I know!

276
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,160
I'm just stitching on
my last row of ribbon.

277
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,880
{\an8}It's just a little bit wobbly.

278
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,000
{\an8}- Have you been to Mexico?
- I haven't. I like the food.

279
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,640
Where's the best place you've been?

280
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,400
There's a few in Brighton
that I quite like. Um...

281
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,040
Sorry, no, I don't mean
Mexican restaurants!

282
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,560
Oh, I thought...
What are you on about?

283
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:28,720
- I mean, where's the best place
you've travelled to?
- Oh, travelled

284
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,440
- in general!
- But if Brighton to
a Mexican restaurant

285
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,640
is as far as you've gone...

286
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,160
- Yeah, that is pretty much it.
- ..that's quite bleak, isn't it?

287
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,480
That is bleak.

288
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,960
{\an8}The innermost one is meant to sit
5mm from the neckline edge,

289
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
{\an8}but there's about
a centimetre available.

290
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:43,680
SHE GIGGLES NERVOUSLY

291
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,520
So I'm thinking I might just
make this trim really narrow

292
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,560
and use the snippet
that's coming off!

293
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,320
So it's going to be
really tricky to sew.

294
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,960
Treinta minutos!

295
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,400
That's 30 minutes.

296
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480
{\an8}I'm glad she translated it then.

297
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480
Side seams and armholes.

298
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Match the side seams, and stitch.

299
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,520
{\an8}You sew down the sides,

300
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,640
{\an8}and then you cut a little notch
for the armholes.

301
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,000
{\an8}OK.

302
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120
{\an8}I think I'm happy, but it's
hard to tell until it's done

303
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,320
{\an8}and you can step away
and look from it.

304
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,400
{\an8}But I've had no disasters.

305
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
"Topstitch just under 1cm
from the edge."

306
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,320
But that'll cut into your ribbon.

307
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600
- Does that cut into your ribbon,
Anna?
- No.

308
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Oh...just me, then!

309
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,640
I don't think I've sewn it
particularly beautifully,

310
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,720
to be honest.

311
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,360
We have a tunic, and it just
needs a hem and a press.

312
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,960
Oh, no. I think I have
cocked up my ribbons.

313
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Mine is far closer together,

314
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480
{\an8}whereas everyone else's
seems down to the waist.

315
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,640
I've completely got it wrong.

316
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,400
Ten minutes left!

317
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,720
Awoogah!

318
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,080
I'm just trying to bodge
that neck hole

319
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,400
{\an8}to pretend that
I didn't do it wrong.

320
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,080
{\an8}Nothing's wrong here.
Nothing to see, nothing to see.

321
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,280
I'm just going to press it now.

322
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400
Busy unpicking this little corner.

323
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,320
But it's not massively wrong -
it's just been ironed incorrectly.

324
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Sometimes you do
the most idiotic things.

325
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,080
I don't.

326
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,400
I'm sure you don't, darling.

327
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,240
"Uno" minuto!

328
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,840
Argh...

329
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Get your mannequins dressed!

330
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,560
Got threads everywh... Oh, no.

331
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,680
In a bit of a tangle here.

332
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,440
{\an8}Just got to trim that off.

333
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,440
I'm not super pleased with it.

334
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,840
I know that my ribbons
aren't mathematically quite right.

335
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Wow, that's so cute.

336
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,280
I'm just gutted.

337
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,600
It is what it is.

338
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Tiempo arriba!

339
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,600
Needles up, sewers!

340
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Love it.

341
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,640
I've got it finished. So...phew.

342
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,960
- It's not sewn accurately at all.
- No, neither is mine.

343
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,320
MUSIC: Marimar by Thalia

344
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,920
# Marima, au! Costenita soy... #

345
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,640
Nine Mexican folkloric tops
made in just 3½ hours.

346
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,280
So, judges, what do you think?

347
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,240
Very emotional to see Mexico here.

348
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,240
Yeah, they look terrific...

349
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,760
..from here!

350
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,880
LAUGHTER

351
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,880
# Siempre manda el amor. #

352
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,080
To me, it looks really Mexican.

353
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,280
Mixing the black with the plain
make it look more folkloric.

354
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,080
The quality of the construction
is really first rate.

355
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,360
The spacing between braids
looks really even.

356
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,760
Beautiful, sharp mitring.

357
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Slightly imperfect at that corner
but I'm being very, very nitpicky.

358
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,000
{\an8}You have sewn it really nicely.

359
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Your corners, particularly
on the narrower ribbons,

360
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,320
are nicely mitred.

361
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Beautiful, neat, straight lines.

362
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Lovely, even spacing.

363
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,560
The facing's put in pretty well.

364
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,160
But these narrow ones
sort of disappear.

365
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Maybe you could have used
a thicker one to give more shape.

366
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,840
I think it's a cracking combination.

367
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,320
I mean, it does look
very traditional folk.

368
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,280
I like that you've done four lines
because it's giving it more impact.

369
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Did you freehand these?

370
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Yeah. I find when I pin, it's
less accurate than when I just sew.

371
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,160
There are a couple of bits where the
spacing has gone a little bit awry.

372
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,200
But super-neat facing.
Beautiful corners.

373
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,640
These kind of ribbon
that you chose -

374
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,360
for me, is like my
kind of combination.

375
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,920
But you were meant to make
the ribbon lower.

376
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,280
Yeah. I realised at the very end
that I'd miss my line altogether.

377
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,240
You've sewn it
really, really nicely.

378
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,760
The neckline,

379
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,080
all of your corners
are really nice and neat.

380
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,080
It just is missing a pretty
crucial section that we'd asked for,

381
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,640
and so we have to kind of
mark you down for that.

382
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:56,520
This knitted braid with the
base fabric is really beautiful.

383
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
But it was quite stretchy,
so quite tricky to sew.

384
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Yeah. I don't like some details.

385
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,360
This ribbon is a little bit
wrinkled, maybe.

386
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:08,560
- But I think, in general, it's a good
combination of colours.
- Thank you.

387
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,400
The thickness of
the ribbons matches.

388
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,840
You've put the facing in well.

389
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,040
The application of this
top ribbon, it's odd!

390
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,200
It's just a bit
agricultural-looking.

391
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,600
Yeah, I really like it.

392
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Oh, yay.

393
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,880
You managed to make it glamorous.

394
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,880
The balance between the thick one,
medium and a really thin one -

395
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,080
it's perfect.

396
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Where was this one from?

397
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,400
It's the same, actually, as the
other one, but I trimmed it down.

398
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,120
That's what I thought.

399
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,160
It's very nicely made, actually.

400
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,920
{\an8}Great spacing with that
first row around the neck.

401
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,160
{\an8}Beautiful straight lines.

402
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,600
{\an8}You've absolutely nailed
the corners.

403
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,480
- Spot-on.
- Thank you.

404
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,000
I don't know what
you've done here

405
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,400
but you've got this tape
right on the edge of the neck hole.

406
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,880
I did read the instruction
but I should have left

407
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400
the neck tape after the facing.

408
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,400
- All right.
- I was going to pretend
it didn't happen.
- Well...

409
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,920
..you pretend all you like!

410
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,160
It's a shame.

411
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,560
And, actually,

412
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,920
I'd like you to have
a thicker ribbon,

413
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,280
because these are very subtle.

414
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240
I mean, there's
a catalogue of errors.

415
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,720
You've marked the line,
but then you've sewn your tape

416
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,680
on the wrong side of the line.

417
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,160
That means you've got
no room at the side seam,

418
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,160
you've got no room at the armhole.

419
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Didn't you put this on first?

420
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,280
Yeah, I did the same as Minnie.
You've got no gap.

421
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,280
I just think it's a big shame
that this is too low.

422
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,040
- Yeah.
- And that you sewed this
before you put the facing on.

423
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,600
C'est la vie.

424
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,720
SOPHIE: The judges will now rank the
folkloric tops from last to first.

425
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,080
In ninth place, it's Tim.

426
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,240
One mistake led to another mistake.

427
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320
One of those we're going
to chalk off to experience.

428
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Eighth place is for Minnie

429
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,280
because the ribbon was put first
before the facing.

430
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,960
Heather is in seventh place.

431
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,360
Adele in sixth.

432
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:19,600
Lewis fifth.

433
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Rebecca fourth.

434
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,560
And Emma is third.

435
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Second place...

436
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,920
..is Anna.

437
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,800
I really, really like
the mix of colours.

438
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,400
- Very artistic.
- Thank you.

439
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,240
So, in first place is Beth.

440
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,960
APPLAUSE

441
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,080
- You did a really good job.
- Thank you.

442
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,440
So I just came first,
which is pretty cool!

443
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,920
I feel like, up to this point,

444
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,400
it's been quite bridesmaid
territory for me -

445
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,920
which is a great role. I mean, like,
who doesn't want to be a bridesmaid?

446
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040
But I'm really happy to
have come first in this one.

447
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,400
I was just gutted because
I really liked the top.

448
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,840
And then as soon as I looked
around, and I was like,

449
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,200
something's off.

450
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,520
And then I clocked it,
and I was like, oh!

451
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,680
Frankly, I've had better days
at the office.

452
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,720
An error just got compounded,
and I knew I'd made it.

453
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,000
But we're not going to dwell on it -

454
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,360
we're going to move onwards
and upwards.

455
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:18,120
MARIACHI FANFARE ENDING

456
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Now it's time for
the Transformation Challenge,

457
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,960
where you take something
old and unwanted

458
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,120
and turn it into something
nuevo y fantastico.

459
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:31,240
So, Patrick, what are you
going to have them do?

460
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960
We're hoping to see something slick.

461
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560
- ALL:
- Oh!

462
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,400
We're giving you manteles de hule -
or oilskin tablecloths.

463
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,360
We use manteles de hule in Mexico
for indoors and outdoors tables.

464
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,040
This stuff is pretty stiff,

465
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,040
so we want you to use the structure
to create a sculptural garment.

466
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,320
You can take one tablecloth each.

467
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,720
You're allowed fastenings but you
can't take any decorative trim.

468
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,280
What we want is the tablecloth
to do the talking.

469
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,440
So, the judges
can't be here for this,

470
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,240
so they'll be bobbing off
to bash a pinata.

471
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,640
Adios!

472
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,840
You have an hour and a half.
Your time starts...now.

473
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,240
Oh...

474
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,080
They are big, aren't they?

475
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,080
Ooh. Should I go for something
different? No, I like this one.

476
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,720
I've never made anything out
of a tablecloth before,

477
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,480
let alone an oilskin tablecloth!

478
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,640
I really need this challenge
to go very well.

479
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,040
{\an8}Yeah. Transformation does
not come easy to me at all.

480
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480
I've got some nice tablecloths
from my mum and dad's house.

481
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,480
One of them my dad acquired from
the reception area of a hotel.

482
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,440
And on the way home in the car,
my mum was saying,

483
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,160
"That tablecloth was so beautiful.
I love that tablecloth."

484
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,080
And my dad went, "This tablecloth?"

485
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,400
# Si, senor! #

486
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,840
So, a manteles de hule?

487
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,640
It's really traditional.

488
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Last time I saw one was
in my grandma's place,

489
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,280
so it's quite funny to see now
what they are going to create.

490
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,960
I'm really excited to see
what they come up with

491
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,080
because it's so sculptural.

492
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,760
It can stand up on its own.

493
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,760
They can use this fabric
to make some amazing shapes.

494
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Imagine if they gather it,
it would be...phew!

495
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520
- They could gather it, pleat it,
they can fold it.
- Yes.

496
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,320
It probably will be quite difficult
to sew, actually.

497
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,560
We've said they can't use
any other decorative trim

498
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,280
but they could use the pattern to
create the effect of decoration.

499
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Yeah. They need to think what
it looks at the front, the back,

500
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,560
and what it looks at the sides.

501
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,080
- It really needs to be something that
takes our attention, I guess.
- Yes.

502
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,160
Well, this challenge is
going to be...no picnic!

503
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,360
It's very stiff, like,
you know, I can put it up

504
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,680
and it's not going to
really fall down that much.

505
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Oopsie-daisies!

506
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Mm-hm...

507
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,400
So, my idea is to make a dress

508
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,160
that's almost like a slinky,
by piling circles together.

509
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,880
I just quite like the circles
and I feel like

510
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,960
I can use them
in an interesting way.

511
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,160
I think I'm going to make a skirt.

512
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,400
Could be a top.
It's just got to be, like, big.

513
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,720
I'm going to try it with
pleats and puffed out.

514
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,840
I do like a puffy sleeve.
It is very me.

515
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,880
When life gives you oranges
on a tablecloth,

516
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560
try and botch together a coat.

517
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,640
{\an8}Hello.

518
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,880
{\an8}- You seem quite jolly.
- Yeah. I mean...

519
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,680
{\an8}- Is it just a facade?
- I feel like
I'm at a point with these now

520
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,400
{\an8}where you've just got to do
some sewing.

521
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,560
{\an8}- Sort of jolly nihilism?
- Exactly. Yeah.

522
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,080
{\an8}- I enjoy jolly nihilism.
- Yeah.

523
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,520
{\an8}- It can lead to some pretty good
nights out.
- Yeah, yeah!

524
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,480
I saw the fabric and instantly
thought parka, the Gallaghers,

525
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,160
because I just thought
waterproof jacket,

526
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,880
like, a big circle kind of shape.

527
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,080
And then maybe, like,
a really boxy hood.

528
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,080
I want to make a gown.

529
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,000
I want to add ruffles.

530
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,040
I quite like the brief because

531
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,920
there's lots of different directions
you could take it.

532
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,400
Yeah. But, obviously, the direction
is always going to be pink.

533
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,760
- Yes, I went pink.
- Yes.

534
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,400
So I've created
this sort of fan shape.

535
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,960
- Ooh, nice.
- So that's going to be the bodice.

536
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,800
- And I feel like that's pretty
sculptural.
- Oh, gorgeous, yes!

537
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:14,960
I've decided to make a bodice
in the shape of a kind of fan.

538
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Well, I'm putting in a zip.

539
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,520
I thought I'd just make
a kind of basic top

540
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,040
and covering in as much
3D fans as I can.

541
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,840
A battle of the fans!

542
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,720
If they've got fans on it,
so have I!

543
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,920
Hola, guapa!

544
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,800
What have you had a few guapos
in your time?

545
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,200
- That's my husband there.
- Oh, he's lovely.

546
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,000
- Yeah, he's guapo.
- Yeah, he's very handsome.

547
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,680
He was a piano player.

548
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,320
I'd love to play an instrument.

549
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,840
- Do you sing?
- I can beatbox.

550
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520
SHE BEATBOXES

551
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,920
- I got a bit overexcited.
- I mean, that was really good.

552
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,360
- Was it?
- Yeah, that was really good.
- Says the musician!

553
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:53,720
SHE BEATBOXES A FINALE

554
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,920
Sewers, you're halfway through!

555
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,320
Oh...

556
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,920
It's looking pretty
sculptural so far.

557
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,080
Those are my top two circles.

558
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040
I'm going for redemption
on the hoods.

559
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Huge.

560
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,640
It's a very tricky fabric.
It's hard to fold it.

561
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,680
I don't know if it'll gather
very well.

562
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040
Ooh. Maybe it could be quite fun
if the shapes were actually

563
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,240
attached with a zip.

564
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
It's funny how we've both gone
for fans.

565
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,040
Well, we both had the same thought.

566
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,040
It's structural fabric,
how do you get strength?

567
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,160
Yeah, how do you get strength?

568
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,880
There's room enough, I think,
for multiple "fannage"!

569
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,440
The colour's fab, isn't it?

570
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,400
- It goes well with your dress,
doesn't it?
- I'm Mexican themed.

571
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
I can't sew, but I can bring
a little bit of Mexican energy.

572
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,720
ADELE SIGHS

573
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,800
What is it, Adele?

574
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,640
{\an8}It's a puffy-sleeve thing,
but it doesn't fit.

575
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,600
So, I've picked out some colours
from the tablecloth for the zips.

576
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,400
I didn't know that this was in
my brain, but apparently it is!

577
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,040
Added my sleeve, so it's
looking more structural now.

578
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,840
We've got the circular,
we've got the boxy.

579
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,360
I'm making a very, very quick
pair of panniers.

580
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,480
They wanted sculptural.

581
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,120
{\an8}It was too small, so I've put,
like, a lace thing on the back.

582
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,000
{\an8}But I need just to put some sort
of peplum on the bottom.

583
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,160
The judges, um,
are probably looking for

584
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,400
something a bit more sculptural
than what I've done.

585
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,880
Sewers, you've got 15 minutes!

586
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,120
SHE EXHALES

587
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,320
Please tell me that's enough now.

588
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,600
My strategy is to sew as many fans
on until we run out of time.

589
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,800
I really like the round shapes,
so that's why I've kind of got

590
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,760
these random little round patches.

591
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,960
I've now attached
the circular sleeve straps.

592
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,440
Yeah, that looks really cool.

593
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,600
I'm still doing a hood, but
I'm going to do it as a square,

594
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,920
so in the way
I've done the shoulders.

595
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,440
I'm trying for the peplum.

596
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,640
So it's all one great big ruffle.

597
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,520
Oh, it's going to be
such a joy to sew!

598
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,400
You've got five minutes!

599
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,440
{\an8}Pfft!

600
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,040
{\an8}I'm wondering whether, like, I
could make, like, a little beret.

601
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,200
{\an8}It has definitely evolved
from a bodice.

602
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,520
{\an8}I thought I'd try and use up
this triangle that I'd already made

603
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,440
{\an8}and make some kind of a bag.

604
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,000
Oh, I can't work out
how to sew that. Ah, bother it.

605
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,240
The tablecloth is doing
a lot of talking.

606
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,320
ZIP RATTLES

607
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,880
Come on...breathe in.

608
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Can I get this on the mannequin?

609
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,520
CLATTERING

610
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,520
So sorry!

611
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,560
"Uno" minutos!

612
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,680
I'm just going to tie it on.

613
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,320
Oh, panic, panic, panic!

614
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,680
It's definitely giving shower cap
because of the material.

615
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,200
It's certainly structured.

616
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,000
I'm trying to thread this,
but I keep shaking.

617
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Needles up, sewers,
that's your time.

618
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,400
HE CHUCKLES HOARSELY

619
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,200
Bring your mannequins forward

620
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320
and muddle them up a little bit.

621
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Ooh, look at all the fans!

622
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,240
They're going to be well impressed
with these, I think.

623
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,160
They're certainly sculptural.

624
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,600
MUSIC: Viva Mexico

625
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,920
# Soy pura mexicana
Nacida en este suelo

626
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,680
# En esta hermosa tierra
Que es mi linda nacion... #

627
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Nine manteles de hule transformed
into sculptural silhouettes

628
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680
in just 90 minutes.

629
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,400
And the judges don't know
whose is whose.

630
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,120
It's definitely a fiesta.

631
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,960
- # Viva Mexico
- Viva!
- Viva Mexico
- Viva... #

632
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,320
Wow. Right. OK.

633
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,240
They've used the stiffness
of the oil cloth

634
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,520
to really dramatic effect.

635
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,760
I'm a bit intrigued by this.

636
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,640
Do you think it would be
comfortable?

637
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,280
Maybe the sleeves are too tight.

638
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,880
I'm not sure if it will be
my favourite piece

639
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
just because it looks
really like a balloon.

640
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,760
This person's
really had fun.

641
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,120
I like the matching hat.

642
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,680
And I really like these circles
so they can cover the back.

643
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,000
It's super sculptural.

644
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,760
The whole thing, I think,
hangs together really nicely.

645
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,400
We have quite a famous sweet
called a flying saucer

646
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,760
in exactly this shape,

647
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,240
and it reminds me of that, as well,
in a nice way.

648
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,400
They've picked out
the colours of the fruits

649
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,960
and matched those with
the colours of the zips.

650
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,800
I really like that
you can remove these things.

651
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,560
- We could take this off.
- Yeah.
- It's a scarf.

652
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,800
This is fabulous.

653
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,200
I love the front. It's all pleated.

654
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,680
{\an8}You've got this beautiful sunray
coming out of the centre.

655
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,280
And then we've got this lovely
kickout, and it is super sculptural.

656
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,800
It's my kind of dress.

657
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Maybe next time that I visit
my grandma, wear this!

658
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,400
It looks a little bit
like a raincoat.

659
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,400
I really like the back.

660
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360
I think these sleeves are hilarious

661
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,280
and they echo the hood.

662
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,840
It's really clever.

663
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,560
I'm going to say
I'm quite a big FAN of it!

664
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,720
GIGGLING

665
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,640
It reminds me like an umbrella.

666
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,800
It's definitely like a sculpture.

667
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,080
Maybe with more balance.

668
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,800
I wish they'd put
another fan on the back.

669
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,040
Well, we've got more fans.

670
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,000
Actually, the front of the bodice
is really nicely engineered.

671
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,880
The shape of the skirt is good, too.

672
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,960
The whole outfit feels
very wearable.

673
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,040
I like the little fan here.

674
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,800
{\an8}But maybe if they could
add another one here.

675
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,040
We have a rain jacket -

676
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,440
which seems like
quite a sensible use

677
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,240
of this waterproof tablecloth -

678
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,600
with an absolutely enormous hood.

679
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,640
It's a piece that everyone
could wear,

680
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,440
especially in England.

681
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,200
Whilst the hood is pretty dramatic,
I think there could have been

682
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,800
a more interesting use of
the stiffness of the fabric.

683
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Wow. I really like the size
of the big ruffles.

684
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,120
I think the ruffle
echoes the dahlias.

685
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,600
It feels kind of petal-like.

686
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,000
The whole thing really looks
fantastically well considered.

687
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,600
I think it's got really big drama.

688
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,560
SOPHIE: The judges will now rank
the garments from bottom to top.

689
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,600
These are all very, very good,
and you can all be very pleased.

690
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Ninth place is...

691
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,480
..the raining jacket
with the oranges.

692
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,320
Lewis...

693
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,800
..you missed the part of
the sculptural rule.

694
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,120
In eighth place is

695
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,240
the yellow top
with the puffy sleeves.

696
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,800
Adele.

697
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,840
It wasn't as sculptural
as the others.

698
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,320
SOPHIE: In seventh place is Tim.
Emma is sixth.

699
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Heather fifth, Anna fourth,

700
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,880
and Beth is third.

701
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:59,040
In second place is
the orange one, Minnie.

702
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,040
We really, really liked it.

703
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Thank you.

704
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Which means, in first place,

705
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,280
is the extraordinary
pink gingham dress

706
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,720
with the sunray-pleated bodice.

707
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,400
APPLAUSE

708
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,640
Rebecca, it was both
fabulously sculptural,

709
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,880
very, very wearable,
and very dramatic.

710
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,720
- It's absolutely a triumph.
Well done.
- Thank you.

711
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200
I...can't believe
how well that went.

712
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,160
Pink is definitely my lucky colour.

713
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,520
I'm going to keep sewing with it
until I can sew no more.

714
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,440
I'm really gutted, actually.

715
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,200
I really liked my outfit.

716
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,880
But I'm trying not to let it
affect my confidence

717
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,520
and go in tomorrow
with my head held high.

718
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,920
I've kind of been
in this position before,

719
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,360
thinking I am 100% going home,

720
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,840
and then, my made-to-measure seems
to have gone quite well.

721
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,800
So, yeah, I've just got to
sort of hope it comes off.

722
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,120
# ..Los corazones! #

723
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,480
# La cucaracha, la cucaracha

724
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,120
# Ya no puedo caminar... #

725
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,200
SOPHIE: For the final
challenge of Mexico Week,

726
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,720
the models are back
to spice things up.

727
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,960
I've got to smash it
out of the park today.

728
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,640
I'm just going to, yeah,
make sure I nail it.

729
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,440
We need to have fun, and work quick.

730
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,200
Welcome back, sewers.

731
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
Today, it's the
Made-To-Measure Challenge.

732
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,480
The judges would like you
to make an outfit

733
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,880
for a Mexican festival,

734
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,720
and there's loads of festivals
throughout the year in Mexico,

735
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,280
from the Guelaguetza,
to the Dia De Los Muertos.

736
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240
You've got five hours.

737
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Your time starts...now.

738
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,400
- Vamos!
- OK, let's get to this.

739
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,400
The sewers have practised their
Mexican festival outfits at home.

740
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Can I just do your arm length?

741
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,720
Now they need to perfectly fit
their designs to their models.

742
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040
75½.

743
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,880
I'm very excited. There's so
many festivals and outfits

744
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880
that we could have gone with.

745
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,600
I really wanted to do the
Festival of the Radishes,

746
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,240
but I thought my model
wouldn't be best pleased

747
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,920
if I dressed her up in radish!

748
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,280
So, Erika, there's lots
of festivals in Mexico.

749
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,560
- What's your favourite?
- Day Of The Dead

750
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,600
because it's the day when our
beloved ones that have passed away

751
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,000
come back to visit us.

752
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,240
So what have you specifically
asked them to do?

753
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:17,840
Choose a festival,
and then make a costume

754
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,840
that looks and feels like something
that would be worn on that day.

755
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,240
They may need to simplify it -

756
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:26,000
I suspect some of these costumes
may take weeks or months to create.

757
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,880
What do you think
they might find tricky?

758
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,320
Well, some of these outfits will
have a lot of embellishments.

759
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,400
Putting the ribbon on,
and all the gathering -

760
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,040
that could take them hours.

761
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,800
I think that's going to be
the challenge,

762
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,120
just to make it feel outstanding,

763
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,400
because the original ones
are outstanding.

764
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,320
I think I'm going to going to
end up drowning in red fabric.

765
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,840
Yeah. It's beautiful, though.

766
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,680
I think festivals should be about
colour, should be about dressing up.

767
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,920
It's a party,
so it should look the part.

768
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,400
Hi. What are you creating?

769
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,440
I chose the Festival of St Cecilia.

770
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,200
- OK.
- Because I actually
met my husband

771
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,520
in St Cecilia's Hall in Edinburgh.

772
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,960
- Aw!
- Yeah. I love it,

773
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,720
so I've made a kind of a zapateado.

774
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,160
Well, zapateado is a dance.
I love zapateado.

775
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,280
{\an8}Emma hopes to dance her way to
victory with her zapateado outfit.

776
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,920
{\an8}It's decorated with
yellow and orange ribbons

777
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,480
{\an8}and treble clef trim to honour
the patron saint of music.

778
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Saint Cecilia also was burned
for being a Christian.

779
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,040
- That's why I've chosen the orange
and the yellow fieriness.
- OK.

780
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,640
Maybe one day you can lend me
the dress to dance.

781
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,520
- Maybe you could teach me to dance.
- Yes!

782
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,560
Whilst Emma's inspired
by a musical martyr...

783
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,920
Look at my lace.
It's got little treble clefs.

784
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,520
..Minnie's drawn to the origins
of her Mexican festival outfit.

785
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,280
The dress is called
the China Poblana.

786
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,920
I did a bit of research.

787
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:56,000
It was said a South Asian princess
was abducted to Mexico.

788
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,960
Her personal style merged with
Mexico's traditional style.

789
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,880
And here comes
the China Poblana dress!

790
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,640
{\an8}Minnie's Independence Day outfit

791
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,760
{\an8}echoes the colours

792
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,000
{\an8}of the Mexican flag

793
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,400
{\an8}with a green and red

794
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,800
{\an8}flip sequins skirt

795
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,560
{\an8}and a white blouse accented with

796
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,640
{\an8}Mexican-style embroidered fabric.

797
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,080
I'm honestly quivering inside
cutting into this.

798
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,080
I just want to do this justice.

799
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,760
Right. Top section.

800
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,640
{\an8}I'm just cutting out the pieces
for my floral yoke blouse.

801
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
I've got six bodice panels,
puff sleeves,

802
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,640
and also a collar.

803
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,600
There's lots of elements
to this bodice.

804
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,880
If you turn around for me.

805
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,480
I am making a Jalisco ribbon dress

806
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,040
for a Mexican Independence Day
folk dance.

807
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,320
I love to dance, so I feel like
a dress made for dancing

808
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,280
seemed like a really
cool, cool thing to me.

809
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,800
{\an8}The bodice of Anna's dress

810
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,400
{\an8}is sewn with princess seams

811
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,160
{\an8}and fastened with an invisible zip

812
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,280
{\an8}at the back.

813
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,360
{\an8}The dress' double-circle skirt

814
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,800
{\an8}and neckline are decorated

815
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,680
{\an8}with rows of different-coloured

816
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,240
{\an8}ribbon and lace trim.

817
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:03,920
It seems very difficult,
even for five hours.

818
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,560
I'm modifying it slightly in that
they're traditionally floor length,

819
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,960
but I'm making it
like a mini version

820
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,080
- just so there's a bit less hemline.
- OK.

821
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,000
Sewing all that ribbon on
could be a problem.

822
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,480
I'm just going to have to do it
really quickly, I think.

823
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,880
- Yes, you are.
- Yeah.

824
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,600
{\an8}I'm trying to race ahead
and finish my top

825
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,840
{\an8}because I've got loads of trim
to put on at the end.

826
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,760
When I pin the yoke on my model,
it looks a little bit small,

827
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,360
so I just added 1cm on the yoke.

828
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,800
Hopefully, it won't come back
and bite me.

829
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,280
So, what's going on here?

830
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,920
It's the Fiesta De Grande De Enero

831
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,480
and I'm making a Chiapaneca's dress

832
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,840
to celebrate women and
femininity and strength.

833
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,800
This is great for the gingernuts!

834
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,960
{\an8}Adele's take on the Chiapaneca dress

835
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,760
{\an8}is made up of a gathered skirt,

836
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,960
{\an8}decorated in rust-coloured lace

837
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,320
{\an8}and rainbow trim,

838
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,600
{\an8}and a ruffled off-shoulder top.

839
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,040
Being off the shoulder,
I thought it was quite sexy.

840
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,560
I thought Esme likes sexy things,
doesn't she?

841
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,560
- Yes, and we're all trying to
constantly appease Esme.
- Yeah.

842
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,200
I'm not with these, though.
She's not happy about that.

843
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,520
Me and Heather are making
very similar.

844
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,200
I think we've got the same festival.

845
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,040
But our actual outfits
are very different.

846
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,080
- Yeah, ours are different.
- So I think it'll be really nice.

847
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,840
- And our fabrics are different.
- Yeah.

848
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560
I've gone for various
different prints.

849
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,920
There's, like, pink in them all.

850
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,640
So, hopefully, the judges
will think it's cohesive

851
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,560
and I've packed in as much colour
as possible.

852
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,320
{\an8}Also to celebrate the Fiesta
Grande De Enero,

853
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,480
{\an8}Heather's version of the Chiapaneca

854
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,920
{\an8}dress is a top and a skirt

855
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,000
{\an8}made from four gathered tiers

856
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,080
{\an8}of different floral fabrics.

857
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,880
So, you're not
putting decoration on?

858
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,400
No, I am one of the very few
with no ribbons or trims. No.

859
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,120
I've gone for lots and lots
of gathering.

860
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,320
And why did you choose
that celebration?

861
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,760
It really reminded me of
Harvest Festival

862
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,080
which was one of my
favourite things at school.

863
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,600
It's also celebrated in January,
and my birthday's in January.

864
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Maybe you can wear it
for your birthday, I mean...

865
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,120
- Yeah!
- ..it looks beautiful.

866
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,960
It'll probably be raining
or snowing for my birthday,

867
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,080
so maybe with a big thick coat
and some thermals underneath!

868
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,320
Whilst Heather hopes
her fabric combination

869
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,120
comes up smelling of roses...

870
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,440
{\an8}I'm excited to see how the florals
actually go all together.

871
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,280
{\an8}..Tim's also looking to impress
with his flower arrangement.

872
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,880
I've got a really colourful jacket
with this fabulous fabric

873
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,640
and I'm pattern-matching
down the middle

874
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,080
so it matches across the buttons,

875
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,800
which just means I need to
get everything well lined up.

876
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,320
{\an8}What festival is this outfit for?

877
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,760
The Tlaxcala Festival.

878
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,840
The carnival features
male dancers called huehues.

879
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,160
- Huehues, yeah.
- Huehues.

880
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,440
They wear the most amazing costumes.

881
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,920
They've got a big, colourful cape

882
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,280
and they've got a massive
headdress of feathers.

883
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,000
The jacket takes its inspiration
from that cape.

884
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,720
And then we've got feathers
on the collar.

885
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,560
{\an8}Tim's version of the huehues'

886
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,440
{\an8}costume is a feast for the eyes,

887
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,720
{\an8}with a feather trim around

888
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:52,880
{\an8}the neck of his jacket,

889
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,640
{\an8}white fringe under the arms,

890
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,920
{\an8}and white pom poms sewn into the

891
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,480
{\an8}side seams of his velvet trousers.

892
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,840
It sounds a bit Liberace!

893
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,040
- Yeah, Patrick, you know me...
- Like, it's got everything.

894
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,480
- ..it's camp as Christmas, darling!
- Yeah.

895
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,320
- Quite a lot to do.
- It's a lot to do. Yes.
- Yeah.

896
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,120
I cannot imagine how it is
going to be, the result,

897
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,520
but it sounds exciting.

898
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,160
{\an8}Whilst Tim makes his outfit
from top to bottom,

899
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,880
{\an8}Lewis has opted for
a different approach.

900
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,920
So, I've got to make trousers first,
then I will make the shirt.

901
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,600
Tell us about the festival outfit.

902
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,520
It's like a male dancer's
guayabera shirt,

903
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,640
some white trousers,
and a big red neck scarf.

904
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,040
Based on the Veracruz Carnival -

905
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,720
they do something called
the burning of the bad humour.

906
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:41,600
- All the dad jokes go in a fire...
- Yes! That sort of thing.

907
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,400
..so they get consigned to history.

908
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Where I live, we have a big festival

909
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,360
where we burn big
effigies of people.

910
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,280
- And I thought, well, that's great,
I'll go for that one, then.
- OK.

911
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,720
{\an8}For his dancer's outfit,

912
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,480
{\an8}Lewis is making drawstring trousers

913
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,600
{\an8}and a guayabera-style shirt

914
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,920
{\an8}with broderie anglaise inserts,

915
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,760
{\an8}a collar and cuffs.

916
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,440
{\an8}The outfit is completed

917
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,160
{\an8}with a red neckerchief.

918
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,360
{\an8}I've got a lot to do, so

919
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,600
{\an8}I just really, really don't
want to run out of time

920
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,600
{\an8}to make my shirt well.

921
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,240
Whilst the festival outfits
need to look celebratory,

922
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,080
the details still demand precision.

923
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,160
I am adding this trim on my blouse.

924
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,280
It's very fiddly.

925
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,440
It's all embroidered, so
the embroidery is quite kind of

926
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,040
lumpy and jumpy.

927
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,960
I've got to gather the sleeve
onto the cuff,

928
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,560
as well as onto the bodice.

929
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,480
So, a lovely little sleeve.

930
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,080
{\an8}It's got these really
dramatic gathers,

931
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,360
{\an8}so it should give a nice, like,
billowy sort of poofy shape.

932
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,760
Oh, it's cute.

933
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,360
Ooh. I'm struggling a bit.

934
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,000
I find the drawstring hole
quite hard to do.

935
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,400
It's a bit of lack of experience
on my part

936
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,280
{\an8}and it's just put me behind.

937
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,720
You're halfway through!

938
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,040
My top is done-done now.

939
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,520
With upper halves complete...

940
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,640
It sits quite nicely
over your front.

941
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,760
..the sewers can
turn their attention

942
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,560
to the lower part of their outfit.

943
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,720
The skirt is where
the magic happens.

944
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:12,920
They have loads and loads of
movement and fabric and ruffles.

945
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,280
So much fabric!

946
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,880
Traditionally, these skirts
can be in any colour

947
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,640
as long as it's bright and sunny,

948
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,640
so I went for this
lovely sort of sky blue.

949
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,840
{\an8}Rebecca's satin skirt

950
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,320
{\an8}will be decorated with trim

951
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,280
{\an8}and paired with a gathered blouse.

952
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,080
{\an8}The outfit is worn to dance

953
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,400
{\an8}the chilena de Pinotepa Nacional

954
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,160
{\an8}at Guelaguetza, a festival

955
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,640
{\an8}celebrating the indigenous cultures

956
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,520
{\an8}of the state of Oaxaca.

957
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,600
I used to be a competitive
ballroom dancer.

958
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,480
- There you go.
- Saw it!

959
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,960
Um... So I really wanted to do
something inspired by Mexican dance.

960
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,840
The man represents a rooster,
and a woman represents the hen.

961
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,120
I might do you a little performance,
see if I can become the hen!

962
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,640
For the sewers to achieve
a celebratory silhouette,

963
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,880
the skirts need even gathers
to create fullness.

964
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,680
I've got four different tiers.
There's a lot of gathering.

965
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,840
Big ruffles is not something
that I normally make for myself,

966
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,880
so this is definitely
new territory for me.

967
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,960
The dress is worn during
the escaramuza charra.

968
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,880
It's almost like dressage,
but in teams.

969
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,080
The idea is that it would be able
to sit over the horse

970
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,040
as the women are riding horseback.

971
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,600
{\an8}Beth's ruffle dress takes

972
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,680
{\an8}inspiration from El Dia Del Charro,

973
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,960
{\an8}a festival celebrating

974
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,640
{\an8}Mexico's tradition of horsemanship.

975
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,160
{\an8}The bodice features

976
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,400
{\an8}embroidered flowers,

977
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,840
{\an8}whilst pink and green ribbon

978
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,520
{\an8}decorate the voluminous skirt.

979
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,520
I think you are choosing
a good combination of colours.

980
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,880
Yeah, I like pink and red.

981
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,160
- No, brown. Pink and brown.
- Brown!

982
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,720
You're learning quickly!

983
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,240
A pair of trousers. There you go.

984
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:46,680
So I'm going to faff about
trying to make a shirt now.

985
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,960
The length looks good.

986
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,960
With the shells of
their outfits sewn...

987
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,600
Right. OK. Trim.

988
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,360
..the sewers can start applying
their embellishments.

989
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,440
I'm putting on my bling.

990
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,640
Got a blue, yellow and a green.

991
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,960
It is a case of getting as much
excitement on there as possible.

992
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040
I have no time to think.
I have no time to panic.

993
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,160
I just have to get metres and
metres and metres of lace on.

994
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,160
Rather than applying
three lots of ribbon,

995
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,680
one wider ribbon, and then
one narrow ribbon on top.

996
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,600
Oh, no.
Yes, I knew that would happen.

997
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,240
The fringes have come
out of the edge.

998
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,560
It's important that it's all inside
and doesn't get caught.

999
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,000
Each colour of this...

1000
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,880
It's because St Cecilia was
burned for being a Christian.

1001
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:26,920
She was burned?

1002
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,520
I mean, they would have
burned us back in the day.

1003
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,560
- I know, we would have been
absolutely burnt.
- Absolutely.

1004
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,560
Some people you meet and you think
you'd be great to get drunk with,

1005
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,560
- and you'd have been burnt
at the stake.
- Absolutely.

1006
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,360
You've got one hour!
Tienes una hora!

1007
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,640
{\an8}That's a good effort. The
feather trim on the collar.

1008
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,120
Get the trousers started.

1009
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,560
I have got to get
a significant shifty on.

1010
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,640
{\an8}I do you think time is going
to be tight, and I'm thinking,

1011
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,760
{\an8}do we do three tiers,
do we do four?

1012
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,360
{\an8}Just marking out the placement
for my last row of lace.

1013
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,920
I've got the orange ones on.
I need to put the rainbow ones on.

1014
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,760
Yeah, reasonably happy with that.

1015
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,320
I'm hoping when I put the zip in,
they kind of match up.

1016
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,120
How are you getting on?

1017
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,280
{\an8}I had a bit of a mare

1018
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,000
{\an8}and snagged up one of the holes

1019
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,240
{\an8}for my drawstring.

1020
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:13,320
{\an8}It's just put me behind,
to be honest.

1021
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:14,760
{\an8}So, is this the shirt?

1022
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,200
So, I've panelled my broderie on.

1023
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,200
But, yeah, it's quite tight
to make a whole shirt!

1024
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,800
It's trouser time!

1025
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,000
And this fabric moves so much.

1026
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,360
{\an8}Tim, I think he is just
finishing the bottom part.

1027
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,760
{\an8}The trousers are still flat,
in pieces.

1028
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,800
You know, it's about now
that I think,

1029
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,600
why did I choose stretch velvet?

1030
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,440
To sew, it's really difficult.

1031
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,160
Putting my cuffs on now.

1032
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,920
I wish I was doing this
about an hour ago.

1033
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:47,320
{\an8}Lewis is doing a whole white outfit,
and this red tie.

1034
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,640
{\an8}- Making a pair of trousers
AND a shirt...
- Yeah.

1035
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,720
- It's a long time.
- ..it takes a while.

1036
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:56,200
- But he's not even sure
he's going to finish.
- Oh.

1037
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,920
I need to do all of my buttonholes
still, and make a neck scarf.

1038
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,720
Yeah. Not ideal.

1039
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:05,000
Finished the third tier
of the skirt.

1040
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,440
Ideally, I wanted four, but
I don't think I'm going to have time

1041
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,960
if I want to be able to finish
the hems of everything.

1042
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,080
Heather's looks great, actually.

1043
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,720
All three tiers are
in different fabrics.

1044
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:15,960
She still has to hem each one.

1045
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,760
Well, that could take a while.

1046
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:18,840
MACHINE WHIRRING

1047
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,440
I wish it could go even faster!

1048
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,400
You've got half an hour left!

1049
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,080
I'm really throwing this together.

1050
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,320
I need to do a waist sash.

1051
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,520
Does it have a belt, Beth?

1052
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:39,360
It has a green ribbon
that I'll tie right at the end.

1053
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,160
So this is my neck trimming.
I want this V to meet in the middle.

1054
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,920
It's just important to try
to get a nice, clean point.

1055
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,400
The ribbon pretty much lines up
across my zip there.

1056
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,440
There's no time to pin.

1057
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,480
I'm just literally going to
whack some trim on.

1058
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,240
Just drowning in skirt.

1059
00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:57,240
Ugh, see, I thought
I was nearly finished

1060
00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:59,280
and there's just
more and more and more!

1061
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,720
I wasn't going to put
a bottom one on, but I might.

1062
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:03,560
I am just overlocking
the third tier,

1063
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,880
and then all the hems will be done.

1064
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,720
I might try and go for
the last tier.

1065
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:09,400
I'm putting the last frill on.
I went for it.

1066
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,920
I'm going to try.

1067
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,080
{\an8}The trousers are trousering OK.
I haven't had a fitting yet,

1068
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,520
{\an8}so I could discover
some horrendous errors.

1069
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,960
You're very good at putting
patterns together, aren't you?

1070
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,320
It was a long time in the fabric
shop, like, this one and this one?

1071
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,360
This one and this one?

1072
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,280
The lady in the fabric shop thought
I was a little bit crazy.

1073
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,320
Eccentric.

1074
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,120
Oh...this fabric just
moves around so much.

1075
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,720
Come on, come on, come on!

1076
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,400
Oh, in they come!

1077
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,240
{\an8}I'm just about to put
the embroidery on.

1078
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:39,000
Literally need to close up
the other side of all of this.

1079
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,760
I think it might be a bit too much.

1080
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,560
I'm trying to lob in a buttonhole
as quick as I can.

1081
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,280
I'm a bit scared of
these buttonholes.

1082
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,280
I'm just trying to add
a few stitches.

1083
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,720
Yeah, I'm doing it!

1084
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:56,400
{\an8}- One minute!
- Nearly there.
- Get your models dressed.

1085
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,600
There's not much I can do now.

1086
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,360
OK. We have the layers.

1087
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,440
It's got one button,

1088
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,960
which I've actually heard is
a traditional Mexican style.

1089
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,000
You need to dive in.

1090
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,240
Nice.

1091
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:08,880
Oh. Wow.

1092
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,120
The moment of truth!

1093
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,760
I don't know how to do
a proper bow.

1094
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,880
That's your time! Needles up!

1095
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,280
I can't believe
I got that last tier on.

1096
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,400
Ah, I've just not finished at all.

1097
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,600
It's missing the red neckerchief.

1098
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,800
I'm feeling like I want
a nice cold pint of beer!

1099
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,400
Or a margarita!

1100
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,400
GIGGLING

1101
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,800
# Me nace del corazon

1102
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,040
# Decirle que usted es mi vida

1103
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,080
# Que no se vivir sin usted... #

1104
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,720
Nine outfits for a Mexican festival
made-to-measure in just five hours.

1105
00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:42,240
# Pero es que no aguanto mas

1106
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:44,880
# Este amor me calcina

1107
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,280
# Me nace del corazon. #

1108
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,560
Beth, I think the shape
of this dress is fabulous.

1109
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,760
The whole thing feels
really well proportioned.

1110
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,640
I also really like
the consideration of the flowers -

1111
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,480
you haven't mirrored them.

1112
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,800
I like it,
it looks really high couture.

1113
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,760
The ribbons here,
it's, like, really elegant.

1114
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,400
But this one looks
a little bit last minute.

1115
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,680
That will just make it
more luxurious.

1116
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,240
The sewing is exemplary.
It's just the ribbon.

1117
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,640
# Paloma negra,
paloma negra

1118
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,160
# Donde andaras... #

1119
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,240
I like the style of the skirt

1120
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:31,320
and the evenness between
the ribbon and the lace.

1121
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:32,480
It looks pretty good.

1122
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,120
The top is just missing
a little bit more of shape.

1123
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,680
Something with more fit
will look much better.

1124
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,520
But I think you've done well,

1125
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:47,200
and you've done a lot of sewing
that's really neat and tidy.

1126
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,680
MARIACHI MUSIC

1127
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,080
For me, it's a really unique piece.

1128
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,640
You are, like, portraying
the Mexican culture,

1129
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,960
and also a personal story.

1130
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,800
I just really like the way that
you've played with the ribbon.

1131
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,680
This is the patron saint of music.

1132
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,760
I love that you've found
musical lace.

1133
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,760
But the middle piece looks
like it's going to one side.

1134
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,000
It looks very well considered.

1135
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,080
Just some of the sewing
is slightly on the wonk.

1136
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,280
ROMANTIC LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC

1137
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,440
I love that you've used sequins.

1138
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,680
And I love this embroidery.

1139
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,120
Of course, it gives
this Mexican vibe.

1140
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,880
I do think, because this
embroidered fabric is quite stiff,

1141
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,720
and you've bound the edges,

1142
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:52,000
it is sitting a bit proud.

1143
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,560
You should have taken
a bit out of the shoulder,

1144
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,800
but I think it's great.

1145
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,120
I love the sequins. I'm going to...

1146
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,880
# Me gustas mucho

1147
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,360
# Me gustas mucho tu. #

1148
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:10,920
I love the colours.

1149
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:15,680
They feel very much on point
for festival attire.

1150
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,800
And you have applied
miles of ribbon.

1151
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,760
You've obviously gone a little bit
rapido around the bottom...

1152
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,480
- Yeah.
- ..and it is having
a bit of a wobble.

1153
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,960
But on the top, your invisible zip

1154
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,960
goes through all sorts
of layers of ribbon,

1155
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,680
which must have been tricky.

1156
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,920
I really like how you manage
the short version,

1157
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,840
but I don't understand the length.

1158
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,400
I think it needed one more tier.

1159
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,480
- You know, your length,
or floor length.
- Yeah.

1160

MARIACHI TRUMPET FANFARE OPENING

1161
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,680
Wow.

1162
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,800
For me, this is a piece of art.

1163
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,440
There's a lot of creativity here.

1164
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,560
I really like this fabric.

1165
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,080
You've matched this very nicely.

1166
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,880
You've got six buttons
down the front.

1167
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,320
You've managed all of these
different elements

1168
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,240
actually really pretty well.

1169
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,840
But the crotch is too high.

1170
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,280
Look at this drape.

1171
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,080
I think it has a unique spirit about
it that I've never seen before,

1172
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,240
- so well done.
- Thank you.

1173
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:19,040
# Sabes... #

1174
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,440
From a distance, the whole thing
actually really works.

1175
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,920
It's well made.

1176
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,480
The gathers are good,
and it bounces.

1177
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,680
I'm not sure about the colours
that are kind of a rainbow.

1178
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,040
I think it looks
a little bit overcrowded.

1179
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,000
I think I probably agree with Erika.

1180
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,200
These are a bit bright.

1181
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,960
But, in general, I think
it's a nice shape of dress.

1182
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,920
LATIN DANCE MUSIC

1183
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,640
I don't know how you managed
to coordinate all the colours.

1184
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,240
You've really thought about using
all these different prints

1185
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:09,600
and it's very nicely made.

1186
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,120
I'm so pleased that
you put the fourth tier on.

1187
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,480
So am I.

1188
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,960
It's so easy watching
Kit come down the runway.

1189
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,600
It moved so nicely.

1190
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,840
It's the type of representation
of a Mexican woman

1191
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,760
that I would like to portray.

1192
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,240
I just think it's great.

1193
00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:29,040
Thank you so much.

1194
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,280
# Para bailar la bamba

1195
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,680
# Para bailar la bamba se
necesita una poca de gracia

1196
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,440
# Una poca de gracia... #

1197
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,280
The original costume
has a red thing on the neck.

1198
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,600
But then, I saw that you added
on the belt.

1199
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,680
Did you plan it this way
or it was just lack of time?

1200
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,120
I didn't manage to finish the shirt.

1201
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,120
The neck scarf was the thing
I'd left to the end.

1202
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,040
I like that you've got
the broderie anglaise here.

1203
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,560
I think that's great.

1204
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,400
You've not done a bad job,
but you've only got one button.

1205
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,680
Making shirts and trousers
takes ages.

1206
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,720
You've given yourself way
too much to do in the time.

1207
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:07,440
But hats off to you for aiming
for something so complicated.

1208
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,600
It's a bit disappointing. I really
wanted to do a good job of that

1209
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,040
and bit off more than I could chew.

1210
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,960
I was really shocked
by the comments.

1211
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,680
I was a little bit choked up.
I got a bit teary.

1212
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,680
Hearing Erika say it was
a piece of art was amazing.

1213
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,520
Yeah. Really great.

1214
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,600
It was the...best thing. Yeah.

1215
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,280
I always think I've not done enough.

1216
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,480
I'm really praying
that I have because

1217
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,760
I'm desperate to
get through to next week.

1218
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,000
That's the end of Mexico Week.

1219
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,160
And I think we all just
want to say thank you so much,

1220
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,320
Erika, you've been amazing.

1221
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,880
Now, it's time for
Garment Of The Week.

1222
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,520
Our Garment Of The Week is...

1223
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,160
..Heather!

1224
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:00,920
Oh!

1225
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,000
Thank you.

1226
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,600
It absolutely encapsulates
the spirit

1227
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,960
of the best of Mexico's tradition
and the festivals.

1228
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,800
We absolutely loved it. Well done.

1229
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,360
I'm very excited to tell my mum,
she's going to be chuffed!

1230
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:18,320
Unfortunately,
we've come to that time again

1231
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,840
where someone has to go home.

1232
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,680
And this week,
the person going home is...

1233
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,360
..Lewis.

1234
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,480
You've been fabulous,
and we'll all miss you a lot.

1235
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,640
You've been brilliant.

1236
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:33,800
APPLAUSE

1237
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,360
Firm handshakes all round,
firm handshakes, firm handshakes.

1238
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,200
Well done. Very nice.

1239
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,880
- Do we not get a firm handshake?
- No,
no. I'll give you a hug, Patrick.

1240
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,560
- Ah!
- That'd be lovely.

1241
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,560
I'm really, really happy
with how far I've got.

1242
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,840
I think it was absolutely,
you know, my time to go.

1243
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,720
- Aw.
- Cheers, Sophie.

1244
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:51,360
Coming on here has been
a really good way

1245
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,480
to show that you can do something
completely out of your comfort zone

1246
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,240
and learn lots, and have a fun time.

1247
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:58,760
- Will you give me a hug?
- Of course, of course.

1248
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,080
I'll miss Lewis just because

1249
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,040
there's something
really hilarious about him.

1250
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,680
- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.

1251
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,000
Do I dye...?
No, I don't dye my hair!

1252
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,080
LAUGHTER

1253
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,160
I'm...!

1254
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,680
THEY CONGRATULATE EACH OTHER

1255
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,560
I think, for Heather, it all
just came together beautifully.

1256
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,040
When I saw it walk down the catwalk,

1257
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,080
it felt of that
Mexican festival world

1258
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,000
but it also felt contemporary.

1259
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,480
It was everything that I was
hoping to see from this challenge.

1260
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,120
Come here! You did it!

1261
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,640
I'm so proud.

1262
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,600
I just appreciate all the heart
that they put into all the garments.

1263
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:40,560
And I feel so lucky to have this
chance to share the Mexican culture.

1264
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,840
PHONE RINGS

1265
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,400
- Hello?
- I won Garment Of The Week!

1266
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:50,040
- Oh, my God, no!
- I know!
- Oh, my God, I'm so proud.

1267
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,560
- Oh, well done, darling.
- Thank you.

1268
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,720
- I can't believe it.
- No, darling,
- I
- can.

1269
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:57,200
This is where you're going to shine,

1270
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,960
- I told you you're going to do this.
- Thank you.

1271
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,120
Next time...

1272
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:05,880
That's incredible.

1273
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,080
..it's Sports Week.

1274
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,200
# Duh-duh-duh! #

1275
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,520
The sewers make a splash
with the pattern...

1276
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,440
I love that.

1277
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,440
..turn surf sails
into a two-piece...

1278
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,600
Oh...I'm so sorry.
Did I attack you?

1279
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,480
..and make embroidered
bowling shirts.

1280
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:20,680
Wow.

1281
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:21,760
Who's heading for a strike?

1282
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,480
This is one of the best things
I've ever seen in here.

1283
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,080
- And whose effort...
- No!

1284
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,640
..will end up in the gutter?

1285
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,000
I've got glue stuck on my shirt.
I'm in disbelief.
