The quarter-final takes the sewers back to the golden era of the 1930s. Esme and Patrick set them a Pattern Challenge for a pair of women’s sailor-inspired trousers with a complex bib-front button opening and equally tricky pockets. Then the sewers show off their ability to think on their feet when they are given men’s shirts to turn into 1930s women’s blouses. Finally, it's time for a touch of Hollywood glamour when they are asked to perfectly fit a bias-cut evening gown reminiscent of outfits worn by Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis.

A place in the quarter-final is at stake this week, and the challenges are all about lingerie.

The Transformation Challenge requires the sewers to take thermal underwear and turn it into daywear. Then male models fill the sewing room to be fitted for a pair of luxury pyjamas. One sewer wins Garment of the Week and another is asked to leave the Sewing Room.
