A place in the quarter-final is at stake, and this week host Sara Pascoe takes the sewers on a trip down memory lane to the 1990s. \n \t\nFirst up, in the Pattern Challenge, the sewers are asked to make the 90s' most popular trousers – cargo pants. Loved by hip-hop musicians and British girl bands alike, these trousers involve grappling with unfamiliar bellows pockets and a fly zip.\n\nFor the Transformation Challenge, the sewers take household textiles and rustle up a 90s celebrity-themed fancy dress outfit. \n \nFinally, in the Made-to-Measure Challenge, the sewers take on the legendary supermodel dress. These bodycon and body-skimming dresses summed up the glamour and decadence of the decade. Who will make it into the quarter-final, and who will take a tumble on the catwalk?
