0:00:02 > 0:00:03As we reach our halfway point,
0:00:03 > 0:00:05it's all bell-bottoms, miniskirts and hot pants,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07just a few of the iconic garments
0:00:07 > 0:00:12that made the 1960s the golden age of home sewing.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Welcome to The Great British Sewing Bee.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Last time - The Sewing Bee took a trip around the world.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23I'd love to wear something very similar.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Tracey took top spot...
0:00:26 > 0:00:27twice.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I think I'm getting the hang of this now.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Joyce took a detour with her pattern.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Isn't that more interesting?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37It's not what we asked for.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40But her made-to-measure dress was a one-way ticket...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42It's very crisp, very neat.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44It looks really well fitted.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46..to garment of the week.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50For Josh, it was the end of the road...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Something has gone wrong over the hip.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56..leaving the women to fight it out for a quarterfinal place.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01This week, the sewers step back in time...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What was it like in the '60s?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Sex, drugs and rock and roll.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08..reviving iconic garments...
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Magic.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12..using time-honoured techniques...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm too young for this.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15..vintage patterns...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17If Elvis wore it, it's good enough for me.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19..and space-age fabrics.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's just really yucky.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23But with the judges more exacting than ever...
0:01:23 > 0:01:24I'm going to grab a ruler.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27..will the whiff of nostalgia...
0:01:27 > 0:01:31I'm hoping today does her justice, she would have liked doing this.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33..put a swing in their step?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34You saucy minx.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Or will the '60s be a decade they'd rather leave firmly in the past?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm OK.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01MUSIC: Get Ready by The Temptations
0:02:04 > 0:02:06There are six women left.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Go, girls, go.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13My plans for this week is to follow the instructions
0:02:13 > 0:02:15to the subatomic particle.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I loved the 1960s fashion, so I'm very excited about this week.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I'm hoping they're not going to bring out a 1960s sewing machine.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Good morning, sewers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Morning.- Gather around.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Congratulations, you have made it to the halfway point.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Amazing.- This week is all about the 1960s.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46For your first challenge, the pattern challenge,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49the judges have given you vintage machines.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51What do you think?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Love them.- Joyce very happy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Good. All right.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Esme, what have you got for them?
0:02:56 > 0:03:02Here you are. This is one of the most iconic garments of the '60s.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's a shift dress,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08a shift dress might sound simple, but it's colour-blocked,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10made of 14 pieces.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12THEY GASP
0:03:12 > 0:03:17So we are looking for construction using very crisp, clean lines,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19and we want well-balanced blocks of colour
0:03:19 > 0:03:21to create something resembling
0:03:21 > 0:03:22a work of art.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You have three hours 45 minutes, your time starts now.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- They are off.- That's the one I want.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33All the sewers are using cotton sateen fabric,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36but which shades they select will have a huge impact on the success of
0:03:36 > 0:03:38their colour-block dress.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I've got white and orange and minty.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42That's boring.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46This complex 1960s pattern will test who has the
0:03:46 > 0:03:50skills and sewing knowledge to adapt to vintage techniques.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I don't know a huge amount about the '60s.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56My family were back in Bangladesh, actually, in the '60s.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I sewed, in the '60s, flared trousers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Miniskirts.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It was a long time ago.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Both my grannies sewed in the '60s.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08They would be so proud of me right now.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I was born in the 1960s,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13but I remember my mum wearing this kind of shift dress.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I wasn't invented until 1998.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I mainly know about the '60s from the film Hairspray.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26And things like that, I know it's not exactly like the '60s.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Judges, why the '60s?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, it was a really good moment for home sewing.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It was post-war, people had more money,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37you could buy an electric domestic sewing machine.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42This is probably one of the most iconic dresses there is.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The whole point of this dress is it's crisp blocks of colour.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It is kind of a stained-glass window.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52And this is the lead, and we need these to be distinctly contrasting
0:04:52 > 0:04:53with the panels on either side.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Now, what colours they choose and where they place them
0:04:55 > 0:04:58will have a big impact on the look of the dress.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm hoping that their personalities
0:05:00 > 0:05:02will come out in the colours they choose.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Oh, this is not a normal shift dress,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08this is a shift dress made of 1,000 pieces.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09To create the front of the dress,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13five blocks of colour are stitched to four thinner panel pieces.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's then joined to the back,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19which is shaped with two darts and fastened with a zip.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I have to ask you this, after last week's pattern challenge...
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I'm doing it by the book.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Pencil out, soon as I've gone past one, tick it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- On to the next.- Good girl.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28What colours have you chosen?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Take a look.- Oh, my goodness.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I think that will be fantastic.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think when you're working with colour sometimes
0:05:34 > 0:05:37it's about thinking what are opposites on the colour wheel.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So purple and yellow would be opposites on the colour wheel.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42So that'll make the two really stand out.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I prefer that down there,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45but I don't want the yellow next to the orange.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46And that looks too heavy to me.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Of course there's endless, endless variations.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50But one will work. This is the funny thing.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54We spend a really long time just staring at bits of fabric next to
0:05:54 > 0:05:57one another in exactly the position of the colour and the size of the piece,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00it makes a huge difference to the look of the garment.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's going to be quite bright and vibrant,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04which is what the '60s is all about.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I think if you're given an opportunity to do a block dress, just go mad,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11just take as many colours as you can.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- JADE:- I'm giving you a black, white and grey dress.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16So, in colour-block challenge,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19you're giving us nothing but monochrome.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Exactly.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I've taken these off. This is the top.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now the pattern pieces are all cut out,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29the front of the dress can begin to be assembled.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Stitch panels one and two and three together.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'm going to stitch up here.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38The 1960s' domestic electric sewing machines are much more basic
0:06:38 > 0:06:40than the modern-day ones.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Oh, this is weird.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45What is going on here?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47They are slower...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I've got my foot down on the pedal, nothing is happening.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51..more fiddly...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54and only do a simple straight or zigzag stitch.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I'm too young for this.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Joyce, is mine broke?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04OK. You've got it on the wrong way.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Hold on, hold on. Put your foot on there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's a bit stiff.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's OK, I used a machine like that when I was younger.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16What section is that?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18That's your booby bit.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's the stuff for there.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- They are my colours.- Exactly.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- My colours! - They're my colours as well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Get this, get this, while I'm here,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I'm going to use this as a fake microphone.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Sewers, you have had one hour.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35One hour, I have not even started sewing anything yet.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37"With right sides together, matching your notches..."
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Stitch this white one onto here.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The dividing border between the colour blocks
0:07:42 > 0:07:45must be exactly 1.5 inches wide
0:07:45 > 0:07:47and perfectly parallel.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48That bit's straight.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Straight across the middle. - Like that?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Yes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- PATRICK:- This challenge is all about accuracy, and already it is off at the top.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You know, you've got like a big strip running right down the middle.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02If it deviates, it will be so visible.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05They want precision, they'll get precision.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08The '60s to me...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I was a screaming girl.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14And... I mean, do you remember Marty Wilde?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16He's got a daughter, Kim Wilde.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20She sings, and I remember going to see him, all sorts of local stars,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23it was just brilliant. But Elvis was my favourite.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You were either Elvis or Cliff Richard, and I was Elvis.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Oh, I had all his records and posters on the wall.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Joyce?- Yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What was it like in the '60s?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Sex, drugs and rock and roll.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Brilliant.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52MUSIC: A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Magic.- That looks like the front of a dress to me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Hello.- Hello.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- How are you getting on? - Yes, not too bad.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12So far, so good, I think.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Oh. I've done it the wrong way round.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You've got this back to front.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23You've mirrored the front.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25How did you manage that?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I don't know.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Pattern challenge is about following the pattern.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I just picked it up wrong.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Are you undoing it, Angeline?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36There's no time to go back and rectify it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Well, couldn't you just kick yourself?
0:09:41 > 0:09:46The colour-block dress is arguably the ultimate '60s garment.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Emerging from this melting pot of a decade where haute couture, art,
0:09:51 > 0:09:56home sewing and pop culture collided to create a fashion icon.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The '60s saw the rise of the teenager,
0:10:00 > 0:10:05as young people sought to distance themselves from the older generation.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09The 1960s, it was like lights, camera, action.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Suddenly everything changed.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15You had new music, you had pop art, everything was different.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16And it was so exciting
0:10:16 > 0:10:19that the clothes had to be completely different.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22One of the most famous designers
0:10:22 > 0:10:25to respond to the changing times was Yves Saint Laurent.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27He used a classic shift dress as a canvas
0:10:27 > 0:10:30to display his love of modernist art.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34These dresses were inspired by a number of different modern painters,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37but specifically a Dutch painter called Mondrian,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38hence the name of the collection.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43And he puts it together in what is the illusion of a very simple dress.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's very straight, it's got an A-line skirt to it,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but it is an incredibly complex dress to put together.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52He put the seams where the lines are,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54so it looks like a completely seamless dress.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Only a few people could afford such a covetable couture garment.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01But with home sewing enjoying a resurgence,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05this was a market Yves Saint Laurent was quick to embrace.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Usually couture fashion was a very secretive art,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and people just had to copy it from what they saw in magazines.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yves Saint Laurent brought out the dress,
0:11:13 > 0:11:14but also brought out a pattern.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The home dressmaker could actually have the exact Mondrian dress.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And Yves Saint Laurent went so far as to actually include
0:11:22 > 0:11:25little dress labels you could sew into your dress,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28so that you could feel like you had a couture dress.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yves Saint Laurent had made haute couture accessible to all.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And as a result, his dresses remained
0:11:33 > 0:11:36a much-loved icon of '60s home sewing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44Sewers, you have 45 minutes left to create colour-block '60s dresses.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Right, start on the back.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Pin and sew the double ended, or fish-eye darts,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52matching up the marks from the pattern.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'm inserting darts.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Because my back is yellow,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I've had to change the colour of the thread to yellow.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I need to really pull something out of the bag here.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Like Angeline, Joyce and Charlotte are matching their thread colour to
0:12:06 > 0:12:07their blocks of fabric.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11The others, however, have gone for a different design approach.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Blue and yellow. I like the contrast of it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Are you guys changing the colour of your thread?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I haven't.- You're just going to have grey on black?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- Yeah.- Grey on black.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Sewers, you only have half an hour left on this '60s pattern challenge.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Jade, what colour zip? - That mint green.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Putting in the zip will be one of the scariest parts
0:12:37 > 0:12:39of the pattern.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42One feature of this dress that our sewers may struggle with
0:12:42 > 0:12:44is this zip.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45This is what we call a lapped zip.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50A slim lap of fabric that sits over the top.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53We want this lap so it's not only covering the zip,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55it's covering the top stitching.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58If it's not right, is it possible for them to do it again?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Well, if it's not right, they should do it again.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03OK. Just an idea.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04SHE LAUGHS
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Slide the zip into the opening with the teeth facing up.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's a hard thing to do, this zip.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Have you ever created a lapped zip?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- I haven't.- I feel bad I'm being a bother, but that is my job.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Doing the overlap. This is the fiddly bit.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Oh, dear me.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27So you've put your zip in.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- I have.- The only thing is, we can see the stitching.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Esme wasn't terribly happy with my zip.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So what I'm doing, I'm doing it again.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I'm unpicking just because the zip won't close.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I feel sorry for the people in the '60s.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I think I'm having trouble getting it up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- So I think I'm going to undo it. - I think you're going to have to...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52No good if you can't get it up or down.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It defeats the object of the zip.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Oh, it is horrible.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I just realised I'm not doing the right kind of lap zip.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You're supposed to have it so that the lap completely covers
0:14:00 > 0:14:01your line of stitching.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04This is going badly wrong.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Did you hear that, Rumana?- What?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I was doing the wrong kind of zip.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- I was doing a centre zip. - That's what I was doing.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Read the instructions.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Oh, shoot.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Yes.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Did you do the right zip?- Yes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Oh, disaster.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Sewers, you have ten minutes left.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Ten minutes, are you joking?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Ten minutes.- Ten minutes to go.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Oh, hating it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Oh, sugar. I wish I hadn't touched the zip.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It's not so good. Oh, blow.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Do you know what they're going to say to us? "Read the instructions."
0:14:45 > 0:14:46But we did.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You've got five minutes left.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Oh, man.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- How are you, Joyce?- I just want a bit of orange thread to do the hem.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm using white thread for my hem
0:14:56 > 0:14:58because I just don't have time to change it.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Three minutes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06My machine has come unthreaded now. Oh, that's all I need!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Two minutes, then we need your dresses on the mannequins.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Doom. Doom.
0:15:12 > 0:15:1430 seconds left.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Well done, Rumana.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Charlotte.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21That is it, that is time.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Angeline, now!
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Oh, it's on.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Let's bring up your mannequins to the judges.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Man, that was awful.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Come up. Come up.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Six 1960s colour-block dresses
0:15:42 > 0:15:44in just three and three quarter hours.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46But what will Patrick and Esme think?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Joyce, you are up first.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'm going to grab a ruler.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Oh, God.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04This challenge is all about precision.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10And everywhere we look, these bands are absolutely spot on.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And I really like the fact you've used orange thread.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The right colour of thread on your top stitching
0:16:16 > 0:16:19is absolutely critical to making it look precise.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Talk about the zip, shall we?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22It looks pretty good to me.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's perfectly even all the way up.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I put it in three times.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29You may have had to do three times,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31but at least on the final go it looks right.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And I also think the colour combination is really good.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Were you copying me? - I wasn't, promise!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48We have the royal colours of Sweden.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Oh, I didn't realise that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm not overwhelmed by this.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55The big issue for me, really, is the zip.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It was a big issue for me as well!
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Well, yes.- You've put the lap the other way round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07And also the fact you've used yellow top stitching doesn't work for me.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Really does let you down. - Yes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I like the monochrome.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I think it has impact.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29But it's not fabulously sewn.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30I'm going to grab my stick.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35One and 7/16 there.
0:17:36 > 0:17:3712/16 there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39It's a bit off.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's just a little bit wider here than it is there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I know you wanted to do contrast,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46but, for me, it doesn't actually work.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47The zip is not great.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I mean, obviously the step at the top we'd see.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53But if this was black, it wouldn't look half as messy.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05The one thing that is clear
0:18:05 > 0:18:09is that you've put these panels the wrong way round,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11so you've mirrored the front of the dress.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- It's just not what the pattern asked for.- Yeah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16But actually, it's pretty neatly sewn.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19This zip is not bad at all.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21You've changed your top stitching threads,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24so you've used white on the front and yellow on the back.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28There is one thing for me, this white band at the bottom.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31What it does visually, it makes it look like the dress stops here.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's just a visual thing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47They are not the punchy primary colours that everybody has gone for,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49but actually they do work extremely well together.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- How did you find putting... - I really struggled with the zip.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Here the zip has covered over this top stitching.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59But when we get to here, this is narrower,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03the lap over, and it's not covering the top stitching on this side.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Also you have done a white top stitching on a mint green.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Just not crisply finished.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19More than anyone,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I think you sat and planned where your colours were all going to go
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and you moved them around.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And I think the result is absolutely spot-on.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32There's nothing that interrupts the sharp edges of all these blocks,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34which is exactly what we want.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Self colour for the hem, which we like.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Unfortunately, this side of the zip,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43it's overlapping the actual teeth of the zip.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47And it should be absolutely on the edge there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51You know what, though? You should be very pleased with that.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The judges will now rank the '60s dresses from worst to best.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05In sixth place, Tracey.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I'm not surprised. - It wasn't very neat and tidy,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and we didn't like that contrast.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12In fifth place is Jade.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13The zip wasn't great.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15In fourth place, Angeline.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Just a shame that you mirrored the front of the dress.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20In third place is Rumana.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Very nicely done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23In second place...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31..Charlotte. Fantastically sewn.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The margin just was in that zip.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36So in first place, Joyce.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39THEY APPLAUD
0:20:39 > 0:20:42The finish was great, it was all very accurate.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43The zip was great.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh, thanks so much.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Well done to all of you.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Give yourselves a huge pat on the back.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53When you come back, the '60s alterations challenge.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'm thrilled.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You've got to remember I'm a '60s girl, and I remember those dresses.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm not in the least bit surprised by that judging.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16That zip was the most horrendous thing I've ever done in my life.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19'60s week is going well so far. I'm enjoying it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I have no idea what they are going to throw at us for the
0:21:22 > 0:21:25alterations challenge. I can't even begin to imagine.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Having been tested on a complex pattern,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31now it's all about freeing their minds,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35as the sewers are asked to totally transform a classic '60s garment.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Welcome back, sewers.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40For your '60s alterations challenge,
0:21:40 > 0:21:45the judges would like you to use a fabric that was all the craze then.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Patrick, what have we got? - We are giving you...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51THEY LAUGH
0:21:51 > 0:21:53PVC raincoat.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Groovy.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Actually, one of the very first things I made
0:21:59 > 0:22:03were outfits out of shower curtain fabric.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05OK? Enormous luck.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06You've got 90 minutes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09You two, go away so you don't know who's made what.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Your time starts now. Off you go.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Choose the one you like.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16MUSIC: Shout by Lulu
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Mind if I go for red?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Do you know what? I want that one.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Lilac-y one. Oh, Jesus! - I might go with this one.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31If you're going to make something ridiculous,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33you might as well make it see-through.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37All right, I'll be wearing those.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41PVC! It's not something I have in my wardrobe!
0:22:42 > 0:22:46This is a great alteration for '60s week.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Plastic is actually a really difficult fabric to sew.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It doesn't handle at all like a normal fabric.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- It's not a woven. - It can tear.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56So these are yours.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Yes.- This is... This was a shower curtain, is that right?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- Exactly.- It still has that shower curtain feel to it,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06but you can top-stitch it,
0:23:06 > 0:23:10you can dart it and put snaps onto it, you can gather it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I'm hoping they're going to give us something graphic,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16something pop, but something wearable.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I had a little yellow coat with a matching sou'wester hat.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I sweated like Billy-o in it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Can you imagine when I went to the Roxy in that?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm just going to cut and see where it takes me.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- It's nice to cut. - No hemming required.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39I'm trying to take some sort of inspiration from Esme.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's going to be a bit risque,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43but Esme was very daring with her designs.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I know she's probably looking for something really out there.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- OK.- What I wanted to do...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51One shoulder! Look already how chic that is!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I might do a cut-out of another fabric, maybe black.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I feel I need to put my rain hood on.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59My God!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Finally, everything makes sense.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06What I'm planning to do is turn it back to front,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09so that the buttons go down the back and make a shift dress,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12put circles underneath.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Since Esme did a lot of stuff in PVC when she first started,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18hopefully we'll live up to her expectations.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22It's going to be a cut dress and there's going to be a waistband here
0:24:22 > 0:24:26to attach to a boxy skirt and then the buttons are at the back.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28How does somebody wear that?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- Just here.- Ring-a-ding-ding!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'm going to have a strap round the back that ties in a bow.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35A halterneck top and pleated skirt.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Something you might want to wear underwear underneath.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43I'm going to make this into a short crop top shirt,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and then I'm going to turn this into a skirt.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I think that's great.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Who doesn't want to lilac see-through PVC crop top?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Exactly.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55A bit indecent there.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Whilst most rain macs are getting skimpier by the second...
0:24:59 > 0:25:00I hope it's wearable.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Less is not more for all the sewers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It's an artists' top.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- A smock.- A smock top, yes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm making it a bit wider at the sides.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'm going to put nice pockets...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Like a handyman's pocket?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17- Nice.- That the brushes go in.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Did you wear this?- I wouldn't wear that stuff if you paid me.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Sewers, you're halfway through.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Halfway through PVC transformation challenge.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35It's really sticky, especially when you're panicking in here.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's just really yucky,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and I don't know what it's going to be like to sew.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I bent my needle.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's not easy to sew with.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Slippery, but then also sticks.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50This stuff is sticky!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's terrible.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'm just sewing in my circles.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It stretches slightly as you rotate.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Definitely one of the weirdest challenges we've had to do.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I don't know why people think that PVC is sexy.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10It must be the most sweaty, uncomfortable thing to wear in the world.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13If my husband knew I was sewing pink PVC now, he'd go, "Hmmm".
0:26:15 > 0:26:16But he can wear it because I'm not.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You saucy minx.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21- Joyce.- Oh, don't!
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Sewers, you only have half an hour left with your raincoats.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30As well as using the original features of the mac...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Is that black?- ..the sewers can add to their alterations
0:26:34 > 0:26:36by making use of the haberdashery.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I'm using the binding just to finish the edges of the PVC.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It's just to give a wee bit of a splash of colour.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Trying to make it fitted at the waist.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I just want to make it really clear -
0:26:45 > 0:26:47this is not something I would sew for myself.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I'll tell my mum to go out for a cup of tea when this is on.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I've got this tape and the last bit of the buttons making a pocket
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and putting it on the front.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Cut out the hole in the middle. Red PVC underneath.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00And those are pockets?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Yeah.- Oh, my gosh, that's adorable.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Keys. Lip salve.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Tissues, lip salve, definitely lip salve.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- You seem relaxed.- I think so.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's not like I've got to put a zip in, is it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You'll never do a zip again.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16I'm going to put a zip in it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:22If I put something technical in a hard fabric they might...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24they might like it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I'm using only the PVC.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31I want to show the judges what you can do with just a mac.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Sewers, I have news.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Ten minutes left.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Oh, God.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Jade, you happy?- Just adding darts.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47What? Duh, duh, day!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It's a flower because '60s flower power age.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52They might not like that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Yours is cute...in a PVC kind of way.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57That is the most revealing thing I've ever seen in my life.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Lady Gaga could wear this outfit.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I think that works. Sometimes you've just got to stop.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Sewing in some more of my circles.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Do I get to announce the time? - Yes, you're in charge of the time.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Tell them it's five minutes.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Five minutes, everyone, and I'm not panicking.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Yes!- Yay!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Unfortunately, I've got a horizontal seam
0:28:15 > 0:28:17running across the front of my skirt.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It's fine. We're not looking for perfection.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Sewers, if your outfit isn't on your mannequin, there will be trouble.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- No.- It's all ripped.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- No, don't say that.- I'm just going to trim that up a bit.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Done.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37That is time. Well done, everybody.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Well done.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Perfectly decent. Wear that to Sainsbury's.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- Does it really need to be wearable? - Come on, Angeline.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48SONG: Je t'aime...mon non plus
0:29:01 > 0:29:06Patrick and Esme have no idea whose alteration is whose.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07- Impressive.- Yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Yeah.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- This is pretty bold.- Very bold.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Strangely sort of sexy.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23This must have taken quite a while.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Grosgrain ribbon behind those cut-outs.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- Yep.- I like how it's been gathered in at the top.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It looks well thought out.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I think it has an impact to it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42So, we've got a top and a skirt here.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44The skirt has required quite a bit of re-engineering.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Open ended zip. - That works very well.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50The one thing I like about this, where the darts are,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55you get that four layers of the plastic so it emphasises that shape.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57But actually it's not madly complicated.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Still got many elements of the mac.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Very obviously '60s.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Yes, with the target.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13That target motif was a very big recurring theme
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- in the clothes of that era. - Yes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17As was this neckline.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Also a button back.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20It definitely shows good understanding
0:30:20 > 0:30:22of the clothes of the period.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Yeah.- You don't sound madly enthusiastic.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I'm not that keen on the shape of it.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I think it should have been slimmer.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38This one is almost a sort of '50s vibe.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Yes, it is, yes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41With a '60s vinyl.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42You could be on the beach in this,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45except you'd probably sweat quite a lot.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48A little dart here to make a shape for the bust.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- Yep.- The person has joined two bits together here to get the length.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I guess it was because they didn't have a long enough piece.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I would have liked it if the seam had just...
0:30:58 > 0:30:59- Carried on.- ..carried on.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I like this.- I really like it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's got a sort of nerdy sailor look to it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Yes.- In neon pink.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Have they turned the front into a pocket?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Yeah, I think that's very clever.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20They've got... Added a triangle to give it this shape.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21More flair.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I don't like this pom-pom flower thing here.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Can we look at the back?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29A-ha. They've thought about the binding to match the button.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I really like it.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Blimey.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Is it '60s?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Definitely has a touch of the Barbarella about it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Yes, yes, it does.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47It's just been split and pulled apart and bound.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Actually, on the back, why is it crossing over?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Is that a feature, do you think?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I think it's a mistake.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54It is imaginative,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56but it's never going to stay on anyone's bosom
0:31:56 > 0:31:59unless they are completely flat-chested.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I think you need some toupee tape.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I think you'd need a bit of something.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Patrick and Esme will now rank the alterations,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09starting with the least successful.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13In sixth place is the white spot.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15That's me.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I'm quite worried about what's going to happen here.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Some tit tape. Yeah.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21And maybe a vest!
0:32:21 > 0:32:24In fifth place it is the black polka-dots on the clear,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26the halterneck.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29It's very nice. It's very clear what you were setting out to do,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31but it was up against tough competition.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35In fourth place is the lilac outfit.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40I like this a lot, but it's still got many elements of the mac.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44In third place, it's the targets.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's great. It's really fun.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It's got a very distinctly '60s feel to it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50- Well done.- Thank you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56You've got Rumana and Joyce left.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06In second place is the red outfit.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08We loved this. It's really graphic.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It works really well and very imaginative.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Very well done.- Thank you very much.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Oh, dear God.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Which means, of course, in first place,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18it's Joyce's pink...
0:33:20 > 0:33:21It's like a Liquorice Allsort.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's almost edible.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24I don't know what to say.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Thank you. - Very well done.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Go home. Listen to some '60s music.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31We'll see you back here tomorrow for the big made-to-measure.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Night-night. Sleep well.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Just so amazed.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Well done.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Two firsts! Oh!
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Oh. I just... Yes, absolutely brilliant.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I am quite disappointed,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49but, yeah, the competition's just getting stiffer.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- RUMANA:- I cannot believe I got so close to first place.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54So close.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58But Joycey again just comes in, and it was brilliant.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I thought hers was fantastic.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I am certainly looking forward to going back
0:34:02 > 0:34:03and celebrating.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I got two firsts and I'm going to have two Chardonnays.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19It's day two and time for the final '60s challenge,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and with only five places in next week's quarterfinal,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25there's everything to sew for.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So far, have you been impressed?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Yes, I have. I've been really impressed.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Joyce came top in both challenges.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37She'd have to have a disaster today for anything untoward to happen.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38But I think Charlotte as well.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- Yes?- That dress was really very, very well made.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I mean there was very little between the two of them at the top.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47So, then, let's talk about those who are in trouble.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Tracey, she came bottom in the colour-block.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52She messed up actually.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56She did the colour top stitching and the zip was a mess.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Jade's monochrome colour-block dress
0:34:59 > 0:35:01just lacked the crispness of some of the others.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03And is Angeline in trouble?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05We did put her bottom in the alteration challenge.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07But in earlier shows, we've seen Angeline do quite badly
0:35:07 > 0:35:10in the first two challenges and then get garment of the week.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Yeah, it could. I mean, Angeline's had garment of the week twice.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21For the made-to-measure challenge, fit is crucial,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25so the mannequins have made way for real models.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Morning, hon?
0:35:26 > 0:35:27You all right?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Nice to see you again.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37OK, sewers, for your made-to-measure challenge,
0:35:37 > 0:35:43the judges would love you to use vintage '60s patterns
0:35:43 > 0:35:46to make wonderful jackets. Are you ready?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47- Yeah. Woo!- Yes.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Yeah.- You have six-and-a-half hours.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Your time starts now.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56This is the one challenge the sewers have been able to practise at home.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59The judges will be looking more and more at the detail.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Time to up my game.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Need a glug of water, some prayers.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I really want to stay, but it's very tough now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07There are a lot of good sewers here.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Oh.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13The sewers were allowed to pre-cut their main pattern pieces,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16but the fitting and construction must be done now.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Phwoar! Steamy.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23It's week five. You've never asked them to make a jacket before.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Why have you waited until now?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28We haven't really tested them on their tailoring skills.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31It seems an appropriate time now, with it being the '60s,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34a decade when the jacket really transformed itself.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Tailoring became, you know, exaggerated and exuberant.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Do you want buttons? Do you want pockets?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Will that all get extra marks?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Well, it depends how it's executed, actually.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Making a jacket is all to do with the finish.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50So, when we do the catwalk show,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53you want to be transported back to the '60s?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Yes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Nice. I'm going to go for some music.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58That would be good.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02MUSIC: Puppet On A String by Sandi Shaw
0:37:02 > 0:37:05# I wonder if one day that you'll say that you care
0:37:05 > 0:37:09# If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there
0:37:09 > 0:37:11# Like a puppet on a string... #
0:37:11 > 0:37:15My jacket is inspired by Jackie Kennedy in the early '60s.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20She, sort of, inspired a whole generation of fashion, really.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Away from the nipped-in waist of the '50s.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26There's a sort of theory that it was cos she kept having babies.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Charlotte's Jackie Kennedy-inspired single-breasted boxy jacket
0:37:29 > 0:37:32will have a flat Peter Pan collar, covered buttons,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34and set-in sleeves.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36The judges do have very high standards.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Especially with jackets and things.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42I always worry cos Patrick, of course, knows his tailoring.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49I chose this navy blue, because it's a pea jacket.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Originally, a pea jacket was used by sailors.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Joyce's pea jacket is double-breasted with lapels,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58a notched collar, set-in sleeves,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01and in-seam pockets.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Now, this is going to make me sound awful,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05but Elvis wore a similar jacket
0:38:05 > 0:38:08and if Elvis wore it, it's good enough for me.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13So I have gone for an Audrey Hepburn-inspired jacket.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17She's just a style icon, and when you look back at pictures,
0:38:17 > 0:38:21it's unbelievable how glamorous and, still, how fashionable she is.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Rumana's A-line coat has raglan sleeves
0:38:24 > 0:38:26for a soft, '60s shoulder,
0:38:26 > 0:38:27a flat Peter Pan collar,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30covered buttons and welt pockets.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31I'm just doing my pockets.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33And how are you finding that?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- I did one.- It's not too bad.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37I'm hoping this one's a bit better.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Well, don't make it too much better,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- cos then it will make this one look worse. You want them even.- OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48My jacket is inspired by the later part of the '60s.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50The swinging '60s.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54It's going to be bright and vibrant.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Angelina's wool-flannel A-line coat
0:38:56 > 0:38:58has patch pockets
0:38:58 > 0:38:59with contrast Paisley fabric,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01A high funnel collar,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04and covered buttons with Rouleau loops.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I'm adding some fur.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Stop it!- Along the bottom.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- No!- Just here.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13That with Paisley and bright orange?!
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I've got something at the back of my neck.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I'm kidding. It's fantastic.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23If that doesn't win, I don't know what will.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I mean, possibly something else.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26But, still...
0:39:26 > 0:39:27- Let's give it a go.- OK.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Not all the sewers are going for the bells-and-whistles approach
0:39:31 > 0:39:32to the jacket.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36That's better.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Mine is a little bit less complicated than everyone else's.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42It's only, like, five pieces.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44But, it's the way that I'm going to sew it together
0:39:44 > 0:39:46that's hopefully going to wow the judges.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I think, just the techniques that I'm going to use,
0:39:49 > 0:39:53and make sure it is perfectly sewn and matching.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Jade's cropped jacket has a flat Peter Pan collar,
0:39:56 > 0:39:57elbow length set-in sleeves,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59and is made from a wool and silk-blend
0:39:59 > 0:40:02tweed fabric.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You're going to see something amazing.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06It's pattern-matched all the way through.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Stop it! It IS pattern-matched.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10CLAUDIA GASPS
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Can you see a seam at the front anywhere?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- No!- It's right there. - CLAUDIA GASPS
0:40:14 > 0:40:15I could not see that!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Well done.- Thanks.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Let's have a look at this fur?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It's like Rod Hull has stepped into the room.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27I don't know Rod Hull is.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Do you not remember? With Emu.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Oh, I remember Emu, yes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Once I was doing the research,
0:40:32 > 0:40:35there was a lot of fur on jackets,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37especially in the late '60s.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42But, actually, that looks a little bit, sort of, well, fancy dress.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47I've chosen a pattern that's based on an original 1960s pattern.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It's got this, what's called a grown-on sleeve.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So, the sleeve and the body are all cut in one.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55I've got to make sure this is good today, really,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57if I'm going to be staying.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Tracey's tweed cardigan-style jacket
0:41:00 > 0:41:02has bracelet length grown-on sleeves
0:41:02 > 0:41:04with a side gusset,
0:41:04 > 0:41:05welt pockets and a flat collar.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08And it is inspired by her mum.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11This was an outfit my mum made in 1960, on her honeymoon.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14She made it on honeymoon, or she wore it on honeymoon?
0:41:14 > 0:41:15No. She made it to wear on honeymoon.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18It wasn't a good honeymoon if you were sewing, was it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Then, just to make you laugh,
0:41:19 > 0:41:23she turned that outfit into something for me when I was three.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So, she was a fantastic sewer.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28All sorts of things, yeah. Was really good at sewing.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I'm hoping today does her justice, really.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31She would have liked doing this.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- All right. I'm really looking forward to this.- Good.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37MUSIC: Knock On Wood
0:41:40 > 0:41:44You've had one hour 35, boys and girls.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Girls.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47The judges aren't sure if the fur is going to work.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49So, I'm not going to put it on.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I came last in the alteration challenge,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54which wasn't ideal.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57So, under pressure.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Armholes, good.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03The sewers will have to continually make adjustments
0:42:03 > 0:42:05to ensure their jackets are a perfect fit.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11I just need to take this in just a tiny bit.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Just to make it fit her better.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Otherwise, it looks like she has got odd boobies.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Fit is very important to me because it's not something I'm usually very good at,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22so I really don't want to let myself down with that.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25But a good fit isn't all the judges will be looking for.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The sewers have to figure out where and how
0:42:27 > 0:42:29to give their jackets structure.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I'm just going to get some more interfacing.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34What is interfacing?
0:42:34 > 0:42:39Interfacing is a layer, either of canvas or iron-on fabric,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43that gives the jacket a structure and a good finish.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Allow the fabric to drape naturally where you need it to drape
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and use interfacing where it needs to be crisp.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52I've done my interfacing, to give it a bit more steadiness.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56I've used interfacing so it doesn't all go misshapen in use,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58and when you put the buttonholes in.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Collar needs interfacing which is what I'm working on now.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03That's a better fit.
0:43:03 > 0:43:09I'm slightly worried Angeline hasn't interfaced that front.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11It's quite bouncy fabric
0:43:11 > 0:43:15and there still needs to be a crispness to the finish.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20I've put interfacing on the front section of my jacket.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22How do you think Jade is getting on?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25She doesn't have an awful lot to do process-wise.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Given that this is not the most complicated of garments,
0:43:29 > 0:43:31she's going to have to make this...
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Beautifully.- ..beautifully.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I'm taking my time and making sure that everything's perfect.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Hopefully the judges will be very impressed by it.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Sewers, you're halfway through.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Sewing in sleeves at the moment.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Nearly got the second sleeve sewn in.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50I made sure that even the sleeves were pattern-matched.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51Oh, yeah!
0:43:51 > 0:43:55Five of the six sewers have cut out individual sleeve pieces
0:43:55 > 0:43:57and are now attaching them to the shoulders.
0:43:57 > 0:44:02You just match the side seam and the shoulder seam with your markings
0:44:02 > 0:44:04and then you can just ease the rest in.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05Super groovy.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10It's a little bit tricky with this grown-on sleeve.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12But Tracey's sleeves aren't separate.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15They're part of her T-shaped bodice.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Just done the underarm seam,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22and then I'm fixing the underarm to the panel
0:44:22 > 0:44:24that goes round the side of the body.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28This means she has to insert a fiddly gusset where the seams meet.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31A little bit of a lump there. That shouldn't happen.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35It is a really, kind of, perplexing shape.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38It does look OK, but it's just taking her ages.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I might get rid of it with enough steam.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Joyce, you are pressing.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46They will be very pleased about that.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Press, press, press, Claudia.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- How are you finding this challenge? - I like it.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53I really like tailoring.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56This is getting the collar right, it's quite difficult.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- I know.- So, if you could knock another 20 minutes on
0:44:59 > 0:45:01- at least at the end? - Leave it with me, Joyce.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03- Leave it with me.- Thank you. - SHE MOUTHS
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Sewers, you have one hour left.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09That seems to have gone very quickly.
0:45:09 > 0:45:15I'm pinning my lining jacket, which is now complete,
0:45:15 > 0:45:18to my jacket jacket, which is also complete,
0:45:18 > 0:45:20and I'm going to sew them together.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21To attach their linings,
0:45:21 > 0:45:25the sewers are using the bagging-out technique.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30Bagging-out is you sew the lining to the body of the coat inside-out
0:45:30 > 0:45:32and then pull it the right way round.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35At that point, you realise it either works or it doesn't work.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37The lining can actually make or break a jacket.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41If the lining is too small, it might pull up the jacket from the inside.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45So, now I've got a thing that doesn't in any way
0:45:45 > 0:45:46look like a jacket.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Turn the whole thing through. It's like giving birth.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51It's probably the most exciting bit of jacket-making.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- I'm about to give birth!- I'd like to be your doula.- Would you?- Yeah.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57I'm really hoping this goes right.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59- We're birthing.- We're birthing!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01It's all twisted.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Some weird creature's going to be born.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05I can see the collar.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Shall I pretend to be Enya?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Aaaah!
0:46:09 > 0:46:10Give it some whale music.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12It's like an episode of Countryfile.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Aah! I can't watch.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17CLAUDIA GASPS
0:46:17 > 0:46:20It's... What are you going to call it?!
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- Jacket!- Hello there, Jacket!
0:46:25 > 0:46:26That's a coat.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28That's the kind of birth I can get my head around.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29We make a perfect couple.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31We do. We really do.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Oh, God, the lining's too small.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Just one big mistake.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Sewers, you have 20 minutes left to get your coats
0:46:38 > 0:46:40on your beautiful models.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42We're going to set up a catwalk show.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43I can do that in 20 minutes.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46- Four buttons. - What are you using for buttons?
0:46:46 > 0:46:48Cos that was originally worn by sailors...
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Anchors!- Yes! - An anchor motif.
0:46:51 > 0:46:52Cute!
0:46:53 > 0:46:57It is important for buttonholes to be neat, definitely.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59You don't want wonky buttonholes.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Uneven buttonholes?!
0:47:01 > 0:47:03SHE CHUCKLES
0:47:03 > 0:47:06They're proving a little bit tough because the fabric's so thick.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Sewers, you have ten minutes left.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Disaster.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I was so looking forward to not rushing at the last minute.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15How are you getting on?
0:47:15 > 0:47:17- Rushing.- You're rushing? - As per my usual.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19There is a black hole in the corner of the room,
0:47:19 > 0:47:21it's sucking all the time into it.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23There's a black hole in the corner of the room.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24I call it Patrick.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Well done, Charlotte.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30I need to press this.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31Three minutes, everybody.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Three minutes.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Just constantly pressing.
0:47:35 > 0:47:36You made this hat?
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- Cereal box.- Out of a cereal box?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41What's going on with my lining?
0:47:41 > 0:47:42Get them off. Quickly.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Done.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I don't know why mine's twisting.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Rumana, you have one minute. Angeline, one minute.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50Come towards me.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55That's it. Time.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Just want to keep pressing. OK.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58I know you want to keep pressing.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Tools down.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Are you still happy?
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- No. No.- What?- It's better not to.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05I'm OK.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08The buttons were completely off.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Honestly. There is so much wrong with mine.
0:48:10 > 0:48:11Serious, there's so much wrong.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Look at my hem at the back.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- I think my mum would have really liked this.- Yes.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20- VOICE BREAKING:- I think she'd be proud of me.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Right. Pull yourself together, woman.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33# I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me... #
0:48:35 > 0:48:40Six 1960s jackets made in just six-and-a-half hours.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Tracey, you're up first.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Please bring your beautiful jacket to the front.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56Right, Tracey.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00I'm really pleased that you've done the sleeve you've done.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Because, for me, that's very '60s.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05It was very difficult. I don't know if I'd do it again.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- I would have liked this a little narrower.- Right.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11And, also, you can see exactly where the sewn line is here.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13That needs to disappear for me.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15It needs to be much better pressed out.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17I've just got a little bit of lining...
0:49:17 > 0:49:19- Yes, showing there.- ..showing here.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21It's a shame about the lining.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23- Are you pleased? - I am pleased.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26I think it's a very good-looking jacket
0:49:26 > 0:49:28that you could very, very happily wear.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40I saw it sitting on the mannequin,
0:49:40 > 0:49:42and, I've got to say, I didn't love it on there.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45But on the body, it really comes alive.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47I like the wide neckline.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50It looks really, really '60s.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Your buttonholes are very even.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54That front edge is nice and crisp.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57But, one of my problems, I have to point this out,
0:49:57 > 0:50:00is this front is longer than that front.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01- (It's not really.)- Well...
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Don't argue with Esme.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04Look, look, look.
0:50:04 > 0:50:05- Let go.- No.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07- It is. - LAUGHTER
0:50:16 > 0:50:18I love this fabric.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21That soft shoulder is really '60s.
0:50:21 > 0:50:26Your welt pockets are actually really well done and...
0:50:26 > 0:50:28pretty even.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31There are two things that leap out. Are you seeing the same two?
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- Well, the hem.- The hem.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35The lining is pulling the coat.
0:50:35 > 0:50:40- Yes.- What I would do is, when you sew it, it falls over like that.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Then there is no way the lining can pull.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Such a shame because from here up,
0:50:47 > 0:50:49it looks terrific.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Apart from the one other thing,
0:50:51 > 0:50:53which are that your buttons are in the wrong place.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58- Yes.- It's a great piece of sewing apart from those two bits.- Yes.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09Right, Joyce, well, this looks pretty nicely made.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10I think it is first-rate.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14My great issue is, I don't get '60s from this.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16This, to me, feels '80s.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Sorry, Patrick, I have to disagree with you.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21Well, I know it's a '60s pattern. We saw it was a '60s pattern.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I think, if you'd made it in a different fabric,
0:51:23 > 0:51:24it might have been.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27If you'd have chosen different buttons, it might have been.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29This feels of a different era.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31The only thing, for me, is here...
0:51:31 > 0:51:32Yes.
0:51:32 > 0:51:36..where it's not lying flat against the neck.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Yes. OK. Well, I'll agree with you on that.

0:51:53 > 0:51:55It's certainly eye-catching.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56I think, of all of them,
0:51:56 > 0:51:59it's the boldest in terms of the fabric choices.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Love the orange.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02I love the Paisley.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04It has an impact.
0:52:04 > 0:52:09I think, fit-wise, it just looks soft and a little bit lumpy
0:52:09 > 0:52:12and it needs crispness and rigidity to give it the impact
0:52:12 > 0:52:14that it really needs.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15Did you interface the whole front?
0:52:15 > 0:52:16- No.- You didn't.
0:52:16 > 0:52:21It's quite a soft fabric and it's just, sort of, collapsing.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23And the hem is a mess.
0:52:23 > 0:52:24The lining's short inside
0:52:24 > 0:52:27and you can see where it's just dragging the coat up.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29You did originally plan to give us a fur trim.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31I'm glad you haven't
0:52:31 > 0:52:33because I think that would have really overloaded it.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35It would have hidden the hem, actually.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37- Well, I was going to say, yes. - Yes.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Right, Jade. I love this.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51It looks very '60s.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53I love the fabric.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55- Thank you.- I love the style.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Sounds like there's a but coming.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59- No.- I don't think there's a but.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02I think it's really spot-on.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06It absolutely epitomises the era we were looking for.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- It fits really well. - It fits really well.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Just look how beautifully she's matched it
0:53:11 > 0:53:14right through the top of the sleeve,
0:53:14 > 0:53:16right across the chest.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17- Esme, look.- Yep.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Oh, she's matched the buttons.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22Matched the stripe going right through the top of that button.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24You know, this is quite a simple jacket.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28If you're doing something simple, it has to be absolutely perfect.
0:53:28 > 0:53:29And it really is.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31It's exceptional.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32I really love it.
0:53:36 > 0:53:37Well done to everyone.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40There are flapjack mountains waiting for you.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42So, go, relax.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44When you come back in, the judges will announce
0:53:44 > 0:53:45the garment of the week
0:53:45 > 0:53:49and will announce the person who's leaving the sewing room.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01That challenge went absolutely amazing.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04I'm so over the moon with how that went.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07We're all aiming for perfection and being really hard on ourselves,
0:54:07 > 0:54:10and I think I definitely fell victim to that today.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12I didn't have a great week.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16And it's all about how you performed that week.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20It would be absolutely wonderful...
0:54:22 > 0:54:24..if my mother's jacket saved me from going home.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26She'd be really proud.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29I've done that jacket in tribute to her.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Am I ready to go home?
0:54:43 > 0:54:47So, this morning, judges, the people who were in trouble
0:54:47 > 0:54:50were Jade, Tracey, and Angeline.
0:54:50 > 0:54:51Does it still stand?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53No. With respect to Jade,
0:54:53 > 0:54:55she's pulled herself out of any mire at all.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58In fact, this jacket, for me, is a contender for garment of the week.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00So, what is that up against?
0:55:00 > 0:55:03It's up against Joyce's colour-block dress.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06The near faultless rendition of that pattern challenge.
0:55:06 > 0:55:10So that means Jade is now safe.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12That leaves Tracey and Angeline.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14How will you choose?
0:55:14 > 0:55:17The alterations were all reasonably even.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Tracey shaded that one.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22I think what we have to do is have a look at, firstly,
0:55:22 > 0:55:25the two colour-blocked dresses.
0:55:25 > 0:55:29Tracey has done all this colour top stitching
0:55:29 > 0:55:30that doesn't actually work.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33And the zip isn't sewn in correctly.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36Whereas, Angeline's colour-block dress is a pretty good rendition.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39But, today, that was reversed.
0:55:39 > 0:55:46Tracey's jacket was good and Angeline's coat was a mess.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48It's a tough one.
0:55:50 > 0:55:55Huge congratulations to all of you for '60s week.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57The first bit is the good news.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00The garment of the week. Patrick, what is it?
0:56:00 > 0:56:04Our favourite garment of this week is...
0:56:05 > 0:56:07- ..this one. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Oh, God!
0:56:11 > 0:56:13It just looked perfect.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15I'm so happy.
0:56:15 > 0:56:16Now the bit that is a bit painful.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20The person leaving the Sewing Bee is...
0:56:29 > 0:56:31I'm so sorry. It's Angeline.
0:56:31 > 0:56:32- Yes.- Sorry.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Don't worry, darling.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38- No, don't. Give me a hug. - Too late. Too late.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43Devastated to be leaving the Sewing Bee.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48But being here has taught me that I can...
0:56:50 > 0:56:51..achieve more than what I first thought.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55I'm sad to send Angeline home.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59She hasn't the experience in tailored clothes,
0:56:59 > 0:57:01and that's ultimately what's let her down.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04It's really, really hard to send people home.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06Absolutely is.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08They're such a little community.
0:57:08 > 0:57:13I could feel my pulse racing and my butterflies going.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15And I thought, "It's me, it's me, it's me."
0:57:15 > 0:57:17When it's somebody else, you're, kind of like,
0:57:17 > 0:57:18"Thank God it's not me",
0:57:18 > 0:57:21but then you're upset because it's somebody that, you know,
0:57:21 > 0:57:23you've really grown to love over the last couple of weeks.
0:57:23 > 0:57:28Five weeks of sewing with these amazing sewers.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Yeah, I'm incredibly proud.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33My family will be so proud.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37- PHONE DIALS - 'Hello.'
0:57:37 > 0:57:40I only went and got garment of the week.
0:57:40 > 0:57:44'Oh! My! God!
0:57:44 > 0:57:46'Smashed it!
0:57:46 > 0:57:48'Get in there!'
0:57:48 > 0:57:50Oh, come on.
0:57:50 > 0:57:54Next time, the sewers take to their marks with activewear.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57What are you doing this weekend? I'm just going cycling.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59As they wrestle with the stretchiest...
0:57:59 > 0:58:00Oh, my God!
0:58:00 > 0:58:02..most technical...
0:58:02 > 0:58:03Just a total nightmare!
0:58:03 > 0:58:06..and figure-hugging garments yet.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07They fit!
0:58:07 > 0:58:09For a place...
0:58:09 > 0:58:11I think it's an exceptional fit.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13..in the semifinal.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15I had to go to the dentist yesterday and have a tooth filled.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18I think I'd rather go back there than do this again!
