Series 9: Episode 6
It’s Kids’ Week in the sewing room, and Sara Pascoe invites the seven remaining sewers to follow the pattern for a child’s dragon dressing gown. The task requires the sewers to use a thick towelling fabric to create the dragon spikes, while the rough seams need finishing with a neat binding. The hood is topped off with googly eyes and spiky teeth. \n\nFor the Transformation Challenge, the sewers personalise denim jackets using hand-me-downs. They can applique, add trims or totally deconstruct the jackets.\n\nFinally, mini models are welcomed for the Made-to-Measure Challenge, which this week is to make special-occasion outfits for a five-year-old. As well as being party-ready, these outfits must be comfortable, allowing enough movement for playing games and dancing. Who will win Garment of the Week, and who will have to leave the party early, becoming the sixth sewer to leave the competition?
