2021 Specials: 2. Celebrity New Year Special
Comedian and host Sara Pascoe celebrates the new year by inviting four more celebrities into the Sewing Room to try their hand at creating party clothes. Drag Race winner Lawrence Chaney, comedian Rose Matafeo, singer Claire Richards from Steps and journalist Kirsty Wark all get behind their sewing machines and give it a go. \n\nJudges Patrick Grant and Esme Young's challenges involve rustling up a festive waistcoat, transforming some old clothes into children’s party dresses and fitting a food-themed fancy dress outfit to a model. Finally, they all hit the dance floor as Claire performs an 80s disco classic.
